A new acquisition makes me think a little...

Yeah, I have been doing this for a while now. And I really don't have a big collection. One reason for that is my budget; I have to sell some of my timepieces to buy other timepieces and, before you know it, the size of your collection goes down... but I am OK with that. I feel fortunate that I get to enjoy some of those timepieces, maybe not for long, but still.
I remember buying and, eventually, selling many pieces by Breitling, Omega, Panerai, Sinn, Bell and Ross, Oris, Tag. I also remember buying --and eventually selling-- one Roger Dubuis, one Franck Muller, two JLCs... but for some reason, I have never thought about selling my IWCs. I always moved to the piece next to them but kept these. Well, the three of of them really. I have just received the Double Chrono Top Gun today and I have a good feeling that it will be here for a long time.
I do not know why I feel like I have to keep these pieces in my collection but I will not question it... they are just special... not sure why, but they are...
