Today it's this Tissot Le Locle which I had back in the mid 2000s. I just thought of it and looked it up. I sure would like to have it back. Such a clean design. Post a watch you regret selling.   |

I had one as well... do regret it... what a case back!   My biggest regret will be the Pogue  i found it in an antique store and had it fixed up. Wore it quite a while. Also miss the Gemini chrono, Accutron Sputnik and dear old Doris    I would regret the Graywater (and I do at times), but the trade brought me my Alpinist  |

My Le Locle must have been an early one or something. Purchased through an authorized dealer.  |

Ah, I had this one. Gave it to a friend of mine when he got his commercial pilot's license. Sure wish now that I hadn't. I didn't get a pic of it when I had it, so this is one from Google search. Attachment Deleted |

That was a nice up/down chrono. Love the panda dial...

I guess if there's one watch I really regret selling, it has to be this guy....  |

Those are great to see up close. Such a wild effect with the facets

I think perhaps I regret letting this Poljot alarm go. I believe I was disappointed that the lume was all fake, it had none at all. But the alarm worked perfectly and it was cheap to buy.  And this Eco-Drive moon-phase. I remember I wanted to try a 2-tone watch. I needed an extra bracelet link. Also it is not a perpetual calendar, so I was setting it a bit more than I wanted. I have not picked up a moon-phase since.

That Poljot is a cool alarm. One of the better looking versions I've seen. I can understand your regret. Was it a pain to adjust the date, and did the moonphase need regular adjustment on the Citizen? |

I think the date on the Citizen was the conventional pull the crown to position 1. I always forget which direction to turn for day or date, seems to change with every movement out there. Then the 2nd crown I believe was month/moon. I remember it twist-locked in place and it would accidentally unlock while wearing. Likely due to needing an extra bracelet link and wearing too tight. But I don't remember if it was push/pull operation or if it was turning forward/reverse. Either way, I would need to fix the moon-phase from time to time (maybe from advancing the month wrong when advancing date). It just would have been a better experience for me if it was a perpetual calendar.

Chris, I can see bring regretful about the alarm, but the reasoning is sound. It’s the kind of watch that screams for lume.
