I'm not really into a market for these, but if I recall correctly VC Overseas was the readily available in the pre-pandemic years and wasn't really sought after like Royal Oak and Nautilus was. It was only during the pandemic watch hype that Overseas became popular alternative to the Royal Oak and Nautilus. But with watch hype dying down I think things are becoming more available in general for all the hype watches and things are returning back to pre-pandemic normal.

Omega Seamaster 300m(last gen). Not the general model, but that specific watch that I sold. It was a watch that I went on a major family trip with and was the watch I wore when I last saw my grandfathers. It was also a great looking watch, at great dimensions, fit for formal or casual wear, very durable, and kept great time.

I took that trip with that Seamaster and a Tudor BB GMT, and decided that having two dive style watches was silly and decided to sell the Seamaster. Well the Tudor GMT had the date issue soon after the Seamaster was sold, and Tudor could never repair it. So I lost both of the watches that I took to that trip. I regret choosing Tudor over that Omega immensely, and won't be making that mistake again.

Speedmaster, 3 times(5 if we count the reduced) and I let it go in the end. I really like the heritage and the design, but it hasn't fit well into the my overall collection. I keep telling myself 3rd try is enough, and it's just not meant to be. But I might back out on that sentiment eventually.

This probably doesn't count, but I bought Planet Ocean 3 times as well. BUT it was all different generation or size. I've settled on the last gen 42mm model and completely happy with this one. Took three tries to get the perfect one, and it's here to stay.
