Why not keep it if you intend on building a collection?

I believed it would be a wise choice to keep it as it has been through all the thick and thin with you.

Flip it and move on, no need headache. If u miss the watch, get it from the pre own market. From my experience, I thought I will miss my watch, however I am not, there are still many good watches out there. Unless the watch that u keep is timeless, never out of fashion, other wise flip it before its value descents further.

Keep it unless you are in need of the cash. The watch will be a greater value to you sentimentally rather than being converted to cash.

Had a similar dilemma on my Tag which was a graduation gift. The Tag was sentimental to me as it was my first serious watch, and been through with me through the "challenging" first few years of being the noob at workplace.

Donkey years later - here's my advise to you: If its battery-operated, for sure sell or gift it away. Mine ended up as junk due to forgetting it needed battery change/maintenance, and its internals require servicing which no longer is worth it.

I am surprised no one has asked what are the 2 models?

So what are these 2 models?

I have a Tag Heuer Aquaracer Chronograph as my 1st "luxury" watch too in 2008. I have kept it until now, and have been sending it regularly to Tag service center in Central Plaza for servicing and battery replacement despite not wearing it often anymore.

Tag Heuer doesn't worth jack shit in the 2nd hand market and plus if there's sentimental value to it then I would advise to keep. It's a great daily beater, but keep in mind the servicing could be costly.

Yes. But it held no significance after some time. The intent was there, but if you don’t find an excuse to wear it, it will fade away. Watches are meant to be worn, i guess.

Keeping it may be the best option, with Tags you lose quite a bit when selling. At least 50% if not more.

keep it as you'll probably be selling it at a loss.  On the flip side, it's nice to have a watch collection specially curated for your current tastes. I.e. no watches that you would not wear.  I've flipped most of my watches already as i've gotten bored with them. Only have my Explorer II, GShock MRG, Seiko Tuna left.  Sold my Sub,JLC Reverso and Seiko Monaco with no regrets.
