Flip Milgauss Zblue for stainless steel daytona?
I have 5 month old Z-Blue milguass. Would you flip it for a used black or white stainless steel daytona? I'll be taking a hit on the trade plus acquiring a used model. Contenplating if its worth the $$$ considering it would be a used piece and anticipating a ceramic stainless steel daytona model would be released in a few years (and the current models will flood the used market). I may just have a flipping problem. Just wanted to hear your thoughts. My other watch is a subc date. Thanks in advance

I wouldn't flip it. I'm biased, but I find the Milgauss more interesting and unique.

I would pump the brakes on the trade and save for the Daytona...
Daytona, Blue Milgauss and a sub is a cool collection! Make it a Zenith Daytona white dial - Even better! |

As a fellow flipper, I would flip it if you're not bonding with it.

If I found a mint zenith white daytona, that would be a keeper.

Thanks for the responses. The mili is a pretty time piece but the allure of the daytona has been grabbing me lately. Hate the feeling of flippers remorse.

No I wouldn't, the milgauss has something special, you might miss it, I would buy the daytona later without flipping the mg for it

I would hold on to the milli and save for the daytona. That would make a cool collection along with the sub.

I would not flip. Milgauss Z-blue is a better looking watch IMO.

If you've had it for 5 months and are thinking of flipping, I'd do it. You could easily reverse the deal if you're not happy since the Daytona holds it's value pretty well.

Probably be better to keep the mili and save for a preowned daytona. There isn't much a big difference on appearance on the 5 digit vs 6 digit daytona's other than the upgraded bracelet right? The case appears the same.

No, I would not flip it. Personally I like the Milgauss better than the Daytona. If you're still craving the Daytona at a later date then just add it to your collection.

Flip it and don't worry about a ceramic SS, let your kids worry about that.

If you can't live without the Daytona, and you are sick of the millie, do it.
But make sure it's all about those two conditions before you do. Don't just flip to be flipping. |

I personally really like the Milgauss - and I like the Daytona as well.
Personally - I'd keep the Milgauss and add a Daytona later. There's something special about the Milgauss - and its awesome in a rotation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I like both, but the milgauss more. But I wouldn't take a loss. Plus no one has your Z-Blue out there.

Thanks for all your feedback. I will hold out on flipping the mili for the moment and save up for the Daytona. At least that what I'm feeling today. Tomorrow may be a different story!
