I Sold My First Grand Seiko and Bought My First Rolex Instead

I sold my first Grand Seiko.And the first expensive watch I ever bought myself.For a Rolex Explorer 36.This video is about two sales I didn't take lightly — the Grand Seiko SBGX355, a watch that should have been perfect but came with a tainted experience I couldn't shake. And my Breitling Top Time, the first watch I ever spent serious money on. Someone made me an offer I genuinely couldn't refuse. And as hard as it was, it made sense to put that money toward the watch I actually wanted more.From there, I'll take you through the hunt — and why I chose the brand new 2026 reference 124270 over vintage and older Explorer references. Better build quality. No jangly bracelet. And most importantly — I want to write my own story with this watch.There's also a more personal reason I needed the 2026 version specifically. But you'll have to watch for that one.Let me know in the comments — have you ever sold a watch you loved to fund something you wanted more?For business enquiries: jagswatches@outlook.com Instagram & TikTok: @jagswatches#RolexExplorer #GrandSeiko #WatchCollecting 0:00 - Why I Made This Decision 0:54 - The Grand Seiko SBGX355 — The Tainted Experience 4:12 - The Breitling Top Time — My First Expensive Watch 8:00 - Why the 36 over the 40 8:43 - New Reference vs Vintage — Why 124270 Wins 12:40 - Final Thoughts
