Actually, I can always part these back out if I wanted to, and get current market value for parts, which would recover cost at current prices out there. No interest in that for me, however.
I do have to disagree, however- These watches are real; I can hold them, feel them, wear them. So, yes, I have two. Two that I enjoy wearing and two that I have had the immense pleasure and satisfatcion in building. If I were insterested in the value of these watches, I'd have bought one gen (and quite honestly boring) 116520. But, I'd rather have variety, as well as something I put my time and effort into. I'd rather have that over something that just anyone can walk into a store to buy. I could care less about the fact that these weren't put together in a factory in Switzerland, or that they weren't sold through an AD when new. The value of these two pieces (to me) is something that I can't place a dollar value on.
Much is the same story for all of my watches; it's the aspect of the hobby that makes it fun for me. I used to buy gens, but now I'd rather build. Some people build ships in a bottle... Some build model railways or build and modify cars (which I used to do). Me... I build watches. Not for everyone, I understand but we're all in this hobby for different reasons.
