I still really like to wear it, but long-term I wish I had my stainless watches more. It was the only way I could afford to get a gold watch like I wanted for a long time, if ever, so I did the trade deal.

It's worth mentioning that at the time that I did this, stainless watches were on the downward trend still, so I thought I would cash in while the "getting was still good." I thought that the pikachu wouldn't go down by too much more, and honestly, it's still around the max expected "loss" for me. In real dollars spent, I'm still slightly ahead vs the retail on the watch, which it's still above.

I personally would rather have my pikachu than an 116520, though. If you could trade your 116520 for a 116500 or 126500, I'd do that.
