So here's my current thinking about this one:- I once owned one of these, that was in near mint condition; I wore it; enjoyed it (to some extent), but it was not a favorite; so I traded it away [and took a real beating on the trade, I might add]
- When I saw this one listed, I thought that it was a compelling buy, as a purely finanical matter, and I thought that it would be a good opportunity to see how I might come to terms with this whole NOS thing . . . could I wear it? Would I be happy owning it but not wearing it? Should I put it in the safe, where some other NOS collecttors keep their watches?
- Now that I own it, I am a deer in the headlights . . . I stare at the watch, and freeze:
- I can't wear it, as is, because the bracelet is too long
- I don't like the idea of shortening the bracelet, as that often does some damage
- I'm not sure that I want to lose the "NOS Premium" in any case . . . will it be worth it to wear this watch a few times, and then sell it some day (or trade it away), when it will be "near mint" rather than NOS?
- I am guessing that someone out there will want this one more than I do
My current thinking: That I should trade it away, for a watch that I can wear and enjoy. Do not view that as a "Want to Trade" message, but don't be too surprised if we see one of these soon.
