Have any of you guys just said I want to clean slate it and sold everything and started fresh? I'm thinking of selling my watches and re-investing into other watches. Opinions please lol.

Before you take that plunge, i would suggest taking a look at each watch your collection and asking yourself 1 question.
If i sell this watch and tomorrow it is no longer available - will i ever forgive myself? (Think of the Breitling SOH V2 and how many regret letting theirs go)
Dont get me wrong, its definitely appealing and you would be able to get a whole bunch of new watches to fall in love with, but ask yourself if there are any that you will miss too much to let them go. If so, set those aside and sell the others. Just my 2 cents

Whatever floats your boat. I for one thought I'm done with some watches, sold them and months later realized nothing else I've tried is as good as those so I bought them back.
I think I need to really think about this before anything gets listed. It's a tough decision I'm just not sure which way I want to go. I can just keep adding to the collection or I can continue to turn the same money.
It you have to think then you know the answer. I'd say start with the ones you least wear if you can part with them .. The thing to keep in mind is you can usually get the same ones again newer version when available .. Personally I have a hard time letting go unless it's for an upgrade .. Any AP FC GP or RG RBII in collection I buy
I think its hard to turn the same money. A rep is kinda like a car, the second it leaves the Lot it uses value. It usually hard to recoup penny to penny what you spent unless you are flipping them catch and release.
Well I've been trying to buy higher end preowned stuff but the one that's giving me the hardest time selling I wear the least. The other stuff gen and rep I don't really care too much about I can easily replace them. I'm just thinking I'm sitting on a good chunk of change and could get off everything and buy two or there really nice watches.
Why worry?
The watches you now have are bought and paid for. Also, they are not eating anything. I find that I have favorites, but that preference changes based on what I am wearing and what I am doing while I am wearing my watches.
