Need Your Opinion - Keep Or Sell

[Ballwatch]

Purely looking at $, which do you think is a better option.

a. GMT Master II (8 years) - worn <10times, 95-100% condition.
b. Daytona (<2 years) - BNIB (everything intact).

Suppose their wrist time is going to remain like that for the next 10-20 years, would the realisable market values be less than what they are today?

Oh yes, in my case, its also considering the expected wrist time of Omega/Tag/IWC/Ball would be higher than the 2 above.

Your opinion is much appreciated

Keep the Daytona.

Sell the daytona and keep the gmtII as a coke or pepsi insert.

I would start wearing the Daytona and sell the GMTII...

Truth is both will not hold value in the future. Both will depreciate as the age abet slower than other brands. There are plenty of these in the market.

Can't tell you any watch where value sure go up. If I know, would put my fortune on buying up that watch.

For value to go up, sell both watch and buy gold for now.

if you are looking @ monetary value. the GMT Master II might have a slight edge ahead of daytona.

the GMT is already a discontinued model. so there is a chance it may make a come back for cult status.

the daytona as mentioned is less than 2 years old. if you have gotten it between the price of 14800 to 15200. i would say it is a decent price to pay. this is on the assumption it is a black dial. however the daytona is still very much produced, so the desire to own one for vintage purposes is not there yet. look @ the garage section and you can tell how many daytona are put up for sale. the prices are dropping and holding stable for now.

if you sell off both watches now for a price of 18k, you may consider getting blue chip shares/gold which i believe will give you a better return as pointed out by KuchingKu. i would prefer blue chip shares or shares that gives you some decent dividend each year.

Well said! X2

Watches are to be worn, admired, adored, etc. As an investment, very unlikely given volume currently in the market unless keep for decades then....maybe, possibly.

With the rosy economic outlook, provided no wars break out, blue chip with decent dividend yield will be the better choice. ;-)

Kum Sia Very Much for all your comments

Though varied, it seems the general agreed view is value will not hold for long term even if kept as BNIB.

So I'll have to consider other non-$ factors ... humans are not objective

Just don't ever buy a watch, keep it bnib for a few years and hope to earn money. You will be disappointed. Unless you have a Pam 360 or 339, no rolex watch will hold value. Even if bnib, with warranty gone, values will be lower than new. Worst is lose money without even having the joy of wearing!
Watch collection is a hobby not an investment! Follow this maxim and you will not be disappointed.

My logic is sell if you dont wear, to add that you mentioned its all about the money, i would just sell both at the right time and park money somewhere else that allows clearer appreciation.

[trailblazer]

i second that, Bro Kuchingku

buy what sings to you, sing with it and take good care of it. Thats to the TS.
