1 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,920 Welcome to this Watch live. Hi, I'm Lydia Winters. 2 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,040 And I'm Boo Booey. And today we're going to talk 3 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,200 about culling your watch collection. 4 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,880 You can't make me Boo I. Don't know very well that I 5 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:22,520 can't make. You. 6 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,160 Well, that's a spoiler alert. That is that is that. 7 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,920 Yes. No, I baby don't call. 8 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,600 I think this is an interesting topic. 9 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,600 To me, it's like the thoughts around how long you should keep 10 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:37,680 a watch. Yeah. 11 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:39,840 You know. And when? 12 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,440 When is it time to get rid of it? 13 00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:46,480 When is it time to let it go? Maybe get rid of it so 14 00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:49,280 aggressive and negative. I'm aggressive and negative 15 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,200 around this subject. I'm like, no. 16 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,480 Well, you and I, I I think this is interesting because you and I 17 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,680 have a very different approach. Or or maybe one of us has an 18 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,600 approach? One time I tried it and I 19 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,200 haven't tried it since. OK, OK. 20 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,920 But first I think in order to set the stage. 21 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,440 Yes. It's important to, like, think 22 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,720 about how you even know where to thought, where your thoughts 23 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:20,160 should begin. And for me, thanks to pocket 24 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:26,240 trinkets on Instagram, I track everywhere of every watch. 25 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,160 Every time I wear them. So do I. 26 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,920 Everybody does. No, I'm just kidding. 27 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,360 I do not. I have no record keeping in my 28 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,440 body. In fact, in fact, I think you 29 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,240 have the opposite of record keeping because I often will be 30 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,080 like, you know, you haven't worn that in a long time. 31 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,640 You're like, no, I just wore it. But when you think about it, 32 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,960 you're like, Oh yeah. I was, I was, I was thinking 33 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,240 about this because I'm like a rose colored glasses person. 34 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,680 I'm like a there's a word in Swedish that I love Teeds 35 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,160 optimist. Like a time optimist, which just 36 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,880 means you're like, usually late because you haven't paid 37 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,640 attention to the time. But you're a realist, and so 38 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,759 there's a little something for everyone who might be calling 39 00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:11,400 their collection. True, true, true. 40 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:19,080 But OK, so I I use an app called Watchy and I it's hard to 41 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,160 recommend the app. It's it's not a beautiful like 42 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,640 lovely interface to work with but it's very functional. 43 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,760 And so I use this app so that I know what I've been wearing when 44 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:37,080 I've been wearing it and it it does a great job of just number 45 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,840 one. It helps me see what watches are 46 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:45,040 just being a little neglected. And then I go through a process 47 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,600 to decide are they just being neglected or or is this not a 48 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,720 watch for me? What's that process like? 49 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,520 Well, that's difficult and there's many different ways to 50 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,000 do it and I haven't figured out the best one, but I've tried a 51 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,680 few different ways. The thing is when I I've 52 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,640 mentioned this before. You figured out the perfect way. 53 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,720 I mean, that isn't watch collecting is all of us. 54 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,560 Wanting. You know, like part of the the 55 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,440 theories and hypothesis like it. It's really fun to do that too. 56 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,360 So there is no perfect way. No, there is no perfect way. 57 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,920 But I I think we can strive towards perfection, yes, and 58 00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:23,520 that can be a goal. But I I've talked about it 59 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,080 before. I buy pretty much every watch 60 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,440 thinking I'm going to keep this forever. 61 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,920 If I don't feel that, then I don't buy the watch, which is 62 00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:35,000 why my collecting has slowed down so much, because I've I've, 63 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,880 I think I've been better at realizing what I want to keep 64 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,880 long term. And the reason I've gotten 65 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,800 better at that is because I have gone through this process. 66 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,160 But OK, I've taken two major approaches to figuring out 67 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,680 whether a watch is still for me or not. 68 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,640 The first one, which I don't know. 69 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,600 OK, you tell me what you think you've already told me, but you 70 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,640 tell our listeners what you think about these. 71 00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:04,120 The first one is I'll I'll just not wear it for a really long 72 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,240 time and see if I miss it. Yeah, I think this was the 73 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,200 advice I gave you for when you were thinking about selling your 74 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,840 Rolex Explorer too, that you completely regret. 75 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,920 So I'm not sure this advice is good. 76 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,480 Like put it away and don't wear it and see if you missed it 77 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:20,920 because out of sight, out of mind. 78 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,280 Yeah. So for nine months I didn't wear 79 00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:26,400 that watch. And I was like, you know what? 80 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,280 OK, I'm good. And the problem with that for a 81 00:04:30,280 --> 00:04:35,880 person like me is that. Yeah, I am an out of sight, out 82 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,280 of mind person. So if I don't? 83 00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:39,960 When I go away, who doesn't remember that I'm a person? 84 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,320 No, when you come back, I'm like. 85 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,320 Oh my God. I have a partner. 86 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,840 This is amazing. Yeah. 87 00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:53,520 So I I think that method can work for some people, though 88 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:54,520 yes. That's true. 89 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,720 So I I've tried it, it's not the best for me. 90 00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,320 I've done it with a few different watches. 91 00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:02,320 The other is basically the opposite. 92 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:07,760 Just put it on and wear it non-stop and see if you love it. 93 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,240 Yeah, how has that worked for you? 94 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,280 Well, the problem is I feel like. 95 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,040 Then you love it. Then I love it no more. 96 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,640 What? Well, it doesn't matter what 97 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:21,000 watch it is. Cool advice from VU SO. 98 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:26,120 So most recently what I've actually done is tried not to do 99 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,560 any process. OK, so really, just like this 100 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,800 one doesn't, like, Bring me Joy. Yeah, which is a process. 101 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,880 What what? What I think I I did was I tried 102 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,480 to introduce some weird variant of behavior. 103 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:41,880 That's true that. Doesn't make. 104 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,880 The decision how you do things, yeah. 105 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,560 So. So it didn't make sense to like, 106 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,920 act completely out of normal to decide whether something fit 107 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,320 into my normal life. Yeah. 108 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:58,240 And so now I'm like, no, now I just let it be there and I have 109 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,160 the tracking and I'm like, OK, in the past year and a half, 110 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:08,480 I've worn a watch three times. OK, I probably am not that into 111 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,520 it. Yeah, back back to my You know, 112 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:16,680 like Vu's tracking methods are very, very hardcore for someone 113 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,280 like me who doesn't track at all. 114 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,680 But I will say we have this shared document that only one of 115 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,760 us updates. I never I look at it and I use 116 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,120 it, but I I vu created it and it's all of our watches. 117 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:35,360 It's just a list of them where like both the the month, the 118 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,720 year, the watch and then also if there was like an occasion or a 119 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:44,120 reason for it. And I do think that listed like 120 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,760 having a list of your watches versus just like pulling them 121 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,600 out. You usually don't have all of 122 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,120 your watches in one place at one time so like you don't see them 123 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,280 together. But I will say that this this 124 00:06:55,280 --> 00:06:59,960 list, if you can find someone to create it for you, it is very 125 00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:05,320 useful because I would say again as like the Rose colored glasses 126 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,520 when you ask me and a terrible like I'm either an overestimator 127 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,040 or underestimator. And in this, if you were like 128 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,360 how many watches do you have, I would definitely have said 129 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,320 lower. Well, yeah. 130 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,480 Then makes you not think about the culling 'cause you're like, 131 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,240 oh it's fine, it's under X amount, which is fine for me. 132 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:29,000 Yeah, you you are making up a number in your head that is OK 133 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,480 Yeah, you you wouldn't make up a number in your head that you 134 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,560 feel is too much. Exactly. 135 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,760 Yeah, so last night, as we prepared for this episode, Lydia 136 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,640 did look at the list. And you were surprised? 137 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,640 Yeah, it was. It was a few more than I 138 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:45,240 thought. I will. 139 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,080 Say more than you thought. Well, OK, in episode 14, we 140 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,240 talked about sentimental watches, so we're not going to 141 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,640 go over that today. So outside of sentimentality, 142 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,520 talking about some of the criteria for selling a watch, 143 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,960 I'm going to go through some of the watches that I've sold. 144 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:07,280 But first, I think the biggest thing I've learned about selling 145 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,440 watches, Mike, if there's a lesson in all of this, it's 146 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,480 actually that I always regret selling every watch. 147 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,520 Oh, here's how to call your watch collection, and we're back 148 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,760 to my original answer of no, no, But it won't do it. 149 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,440 Alongside that, I also regret every watch I didn't buy, so I 150 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,200 think I'm just a regretful. Person who's. 151 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,559 Like, oh, things could have been better, you know, like, I often 152 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,480 feel like, oh, had I made a different decision, it would 153 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,120 have been fun. But I don't feel that way all of 154 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,000 the time. So I regret every watch I've 155 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,160 ever sold, but not all of the time. 156 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,920 Sometimes I'm like, yeah, that was a that was a good move. 157 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:53,040 Good job there. Boo. 158 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:58,960 And I I kind of alluded to it earlier, but I have only sold 159 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,600 one watch ever, ever in my collecting. 160 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,040 That's it. So, so that includes like I 161 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:10,760 haven't traded watches, I haven't like you know just one 162 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:15,920 watch ever which I will say when VU was like you've only sold one 163 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,840 watch, I was like no, I've sold a few. 164 00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:20,240 So once a A. List. 165 00:09:20,680 --> 00:09:24,360 And I have only sold one watch. VU has sold many more I I. 166 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,240 I have sold many. I have been into watches for 167 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,680 much, much longer. So like one thing. 168 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:37,040 OK, so earlier I mentioned that if I wear a watch every day, 169 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,320 like trying to see if I love it, then I'll fall in love with it. 170 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,880 It's I think this isn't with just watches. 171 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,160 For me, the all kinds of different things that I own 172 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:49,960 because I collect different types of things. 173 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,200 I feel like when you buy nice things, like just things of 174 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,240 quality that will last. If you wait long enough, it's 175 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:02,080 like you'll cycle back, because then it's just about your taste. 176 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,560 Yeah, I mean I have heard that with like as advice in fashion 177 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,000 is like just put it back in your like instead of that. 178 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,320 If you haven't worn it in a month, then sell it or get rid 179 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,480 of it. It's like just leave it there 180 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,840 because if it's like a high quality piece, it's very likely 181 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,240 that it will either come back in fashion, you'll like it again. 182 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,040 I have a white leather backpack that I keep feeling, you know, 183 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,960 like I've saved it for that and it still hasn't come back 184 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,440 around. So maybe this advice doesn't 185 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,920 hold up. I I think it does for most 186 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,520 things, but not everything is sick cyclical and it depends on 187 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,480 whether or not you are someone who likes to follow trends. 188 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,400 Yeah. So if you if if part of your 189 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,800 mentality is to be on top of trends, then it may not be. 190 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,200 I think then the cycle will be longer. 191 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,280 Yeah, minus not. Trends take quite a while. 192 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,840 I'm never on ground. I try to purposely no. 193 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,720 Typically you're not. But when I think about that 194 00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,400 white backpack. It was on. 195 00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:00,600 Trends when? You bought it. 196 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:01,800 I have to wait a long. Time. 197 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,400 A white leather backpack is very specific. 198 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,760 It is very don't. Don't buy one. 199 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,440 It's probably a bad idea. So. 200 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,960 In the past 18 months I have sold 8 watches. 201 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:15,880 That's. Way more than I thought. 202 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,800 It is actually. If you would have asked me, I 203 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:23,320 would have said four if I if I so, but that's half. 204 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,120 It is. But again, prior to that I had 205 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,840 only ever sold like two or three watches ever, right? 206 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,960 So it was only around 18 months ago when I thought, OK, I need 207 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:37,640 to be more thoughtful about my collection and I currently have 208 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,440 watches that could be other. Watches, I was going to say it's 209 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,680 like that Watch money is sitting. 210 00:11:42,680 --> 00:11:47,000 There is a watch amount and sometimes you have to move 211 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,280 things out. Yeah. 212 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,000 So OK. The interesting thing though, so 213 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:56,080 out of those 8 watches, four of them I had owned between 6:00 214 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,520 and 9:00 years already. So it's not like I was just 215 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:02,280 moving things quickly. Neither of us are quick with 216 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:03,720 this. It's pretty slow. 217 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,320 And then three of the remainder was between 2:00 to three years, 218 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,520 and then only one had I owned for only a year. 219 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,520 So that's the quickest turn around I've ever had on a watch. 220 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,280 And that was for the Omega Rail Master 1957 Trilogy edition, 221 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:19,960 which we talked about in another episode. 222 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,160 And that was really just because I hated the bracelet. 223 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,920 Yeah, and mine. My only sale was actually the 224 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,600 Omega C Master 1957 Trilogy Edition. 225 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,280 Yes. And I, you know, when I think 226 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,320 about it, I do think there's probably, when I look at this 227 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:39,880 now, basically, if you don't like it in the first year, then 228 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,960 it's easier to call out. But once you've kept it longer 229 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,040 than that, then you start to question it a bit more. 230 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,680 Yeah, I I completely agree. So it's probably best to move it 231 00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:54,240 very quickly. So the most recent watch I, I, I 232 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:58,680 have let go was just last week. Oh my goodness, I. 233 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,440 Know it's a watch that I've owned for three years, but I've 234 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:08,280 finally accepted that this watch was too big for me. 235 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:14,600 It's a Rolex Oyster Perpetual 41 green dial and it it's just too 236 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,640 big and I had to let it go. The funny thing is the watch I 237 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,360 sold. The last watch I sold before it, 238 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,280 though I sold because it was too small. 239 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,000 Oh boy. Yeah, that's a whole different 240 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,080 episode called Vu being like, too big, too small. 241 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,520 We got a Goldilocks. Over here for sure, for sure. 242 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,600 And and and I regret that one because it wasn't too small. 243 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,560 No, it was it. It's that you know, like it 244 00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:44,240 takes time to to get used to different sizes. 245 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,240 Especially when you've been wearing something you know 246 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,960 either bigger for quite a while and then you move smaller, it it 247 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,200 always like. Yeah, I started in the 39 range, 248 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:58,000 went up to 42 with the Speedmaster Pro and the Explorer 249 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,720 2. And then it's taken a lot of 250 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:06,560 work to, like, open my eyes and make my eyes adjusted to seeing 251 00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:09,560 smaller watches on my wrist. And now I can wear down to 36, 252 00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:16,320 but I couldn't before. So I think one of the like 253 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,720 important things is to feel confident that you can let these 254 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,360 watches go. So first you have to make the 255 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,080 decision, but then it's like, well, how do you let them go? 256 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,680 So my OP was very easy. I actually took it back to our 257 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:31,640 AD and traded it in. I have not chosen what to use 258 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,920 that money on yet, though. So it's I have a. 259 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,240 Credit at the AD That's never happened. 260 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:42,360 No, it has never happened. So that's like, outside of these 261 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,560 episodes, the rest of my life, if I'm not working or sleeping, 262 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,080 you can imagine it's just Boo talking about which watch you 263 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,280 should buy. But. 264 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:57,320 Welcome to this Watch live. On the Real Time Show podcast, 265 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,080 there was a very recent episode that I thought was awesome where 266 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,400 Alan from Ace Jewelers talked about the process of bringing in 267 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,880 watches and how how they Ace help sell watches. 268 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,120 And I thought that was really amazing, helping David, one of 269 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,840 the Co hosts, sell his watches because he was making a big 270 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,000 change. Totally a worthwhile episode to 271 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,160 check out, go and listen to. That, yeah, I was going to say. 272 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,360 One thing I really liked about that episode is they actually 273 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,000 said all the numbers. So like what? 274 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,040 Like which watches David was selling, how much he thought he 275 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,560 could get from them. If he sold them himself, then 276 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,240 how much he got them, how much he actually got. 277 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,560 So I just, it was really nice because most of the time, I mean 278 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,440 I know I do this. I'm more like abstractly, like I 279 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,080 sold it, I bought it for something, I sold it for 280 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,320 something and now I bought something else plus or minus. 281 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,880 And I really just liked that they went through, yeah, all of 282 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,040 the numbers and and figures and usually I'm not the one saying 283 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,760 that I liked the numbers. So that's very different. 284 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,640 One of the nice things about selling in this way are the, you 285 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:06,680 know, like the ACE example or for us, you know, I brought it. 286 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:11,040 In today or? Neiman's ER is that it's a very 287 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,840 safe you, you can trust the entire process, and you don't 288 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,920 have to deal with the end customer. 289 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,240 But we've also used Chrono 24 to do that. 290 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,720 Because Chrono 24, many people don't know this, but they'll buy 291 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,760 your watch. Sometimes, if it's a specific 292 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,120 and. It depends on when, but they you 293 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,920 do sometimes buy watches themselves and then you don't 294 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,000 have to deal with dealing with the end user. 295 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,200 And then there's all the ways you can deal with end users, 296 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,600 either through local forums or Instagram. 297 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,880 Reddit people sell. Weirdly, people sell there. 298 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,360 It's not for me. Yeah, Craigslist block it or 299 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:51,080 whatever the whatever the like. Facebook Marketplace I don't 300 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:52,960 think is hot for watches, but I'm not sure I. 301 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,880 Haven't left, You know, I think people sell everything. 302 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,920 Everywhere. It just depends on your comfort 303 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,200 level. I wouldn't do it. 304 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,960 But yeah, so when are you going to start selling some watches, 305 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,480 Lydia? Because we've identified 5 306 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,880 watches in your collection that you could let go and probably 307 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:13,280 never even realize. Yes, I would say when I think of 308 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,319 why I haven't sold watches it's laziness slash time involved 309 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,359 sometimes fear you know you're dealing with something that has 310 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:26,359 value and selling it. But I this is kind of spurring 311 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:31,840 me on to think you know of doing it and then like coming back 312 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,040 with some thoughts on on the process so. 313 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,160 We will take our listeners along in the journey, yeah. 314 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:39,800 Maybe. Yeah, that might. 315 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,640 That might help me actually do it. 316 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,840 But I I was thinking about one. One reason. 317 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,960 It's not exactly in the laziness, but just sometimes 318 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,560 when you really like, for me, I want to think about my 319 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,320 collection, the watches I have, who I want to be, who I. 320 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,160 So it's like a whole. It's like doing an inventory, a 321 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,120 self inventory and a self analysis. 322 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,440 And yeah, so sometimes I'm like, that's too deep for right now. 323 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,440 Maybe I'll do some of those first, like the first culling, 324 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,840 like you said, one set. I probably. 325 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,960 Won't miss. I I you know, I I know for 326 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,920 whatever reason. But then what I really like to 327 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:21,480 do is as I'm selling things and I do this with my clothes, it's 328 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,640 like, what themes do I see so that hopefully I don't make the 329 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,280 same mistake again Because I I find that that's interesting If 330 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,440 when I'm getting rid of clothes, you know, reselling them, I'm 331 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,280 like, oh, I bought all of these online. 332 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,360 So I didn't try them on. Or like, I bought them because 333 00:18:36,360 --> 00:18:38,920 they were a good sale. So I got too excited about it. 334 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,080 But it wasn't actually like my style. 335 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,760 So I'd like to do that with the watch selling. 336 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,840 It's like, why did this come and go? 337 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,200 OK, maybe analyze it a bit more. Well, that sounds. 338 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,600 Pretty fun, yeah. Or like. 339 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,600 Or or or stressful. Who knows? 340 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,240 Who knows? Let's go with fun. 341 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,160 Thank you everyone. Have a great day. 342 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:01,840 Bye, bye.
