Jon HartHave you ever sold a Gold/GF/Silver Pocket Watch Case and wished you had kept it?

Please feel free to add your pictures...
Maybe another drink from the lobby is in order

Mark CrossI sold via auction an 18s Elgin Veritas 23j in a coin silver case with domed crystal a few years back that I occasionally have ping of guilt over selling.
Sellers remorse is an unforgiving thing.

Eugene BuffardNo Everything has a price. If your willing to pay I'm willing to sell. My Maiden Lane Yes, My Grade 181 Illinois 16sz in a Multi color Hc case. Yes. My 62,000 serial # Gruen Assaman First one every made.
You can't take it with you. And my philosophy if you will not use it why keep it.
Hey I even sold my 163.

Mark CrossI sold it because we needed a new dryer, so it wasn't so much of 'not using it'. I was.
It was a means to an end, and I still regret having to go that route....but my wife is happy, and that's 99.9999999999% of life.
Regards! Mark

Eugene BuffardI understand Mark. I sold my 163 and my 950b to Larry because I wanted some cash for vacation. I'm not rich. But the way I look at it. I'll find more. I know someday it will be harder. But when you beat the bushes as much as I do. There is always something dropping out.

Mark CrossI haven't been so fortunate in that regard, and I tip my hat to you my friend for all your success in finding treasures to date!

Regards! Mark

Jon HartMark -
Our mind is a funny creature, on day one it is good with the sale of an item, and then a few miles down the road things appear in the rearview mirror...
