Question regarding Daytona, resale value and WHAT TO DO!?

[redcalx]

So a few months back, I decided I was going to purchase either a new Daytona Black Dial, or the GMTIIc.

I went to an AD here in the Netherlands and of course they had neither. They laughed when I asked about the Daytona, and laughed even more when I asked to be put in the waiting list for one.

Well, time went on and I ended up buying a GMTIIc from DavidSW here on the forum and decided I would save for the Daytona which I was told would take at least a year to get.

Sure enough, I got the call yesterday that the Daytona is in and waiting for me.

Here's my question. I'd like to buy it, but it would clean out my spending cash at the moment and I don't really need it. I love my GMTIIc but I also can't live with the idea of passing on this great watch.

So.. I'm wondering, if I buy it today, don't wear it and decide in a week or two that I want to sell it, will I lose money, break even, or perhaps even turn a profit?

If I decide I want the Daytona, and to flip either my GMTIIc or my older GMT, is there anything I can do to polish both watches up to look brand new (GMT has some knicks on the bezel and the case, scratches on the bracelet, GMTIIc is nearly perfect, just some scratches on the clasp).

What to do!?
