Flipping a watch

I have a question, that I had for quite some time now and with some threads about flipping lately I decided to ask it. What constitutes a flipper?

I'll give you a hypothetical: A person gets lucky and manages to get a white Daytona at MSRP. He wears it for a week and decides he doesn't like it. He decides to sell it. Is he a flipper? How long would he have to own it to not be considered a flipper?

Second hypothetical: He doesn't sell it, but trades for black, is he a flipper? What if he sells white dial version to buy a black dial version?

To me somehow, flipping is weirdly not about the action, but rather the intention, for example, I wouldn't go get a Daytona just to turn a quick buck, however if I got a Daytona at MSRP and was offered a trade for a BNIB 15400 it would be hard for me not to do the trade, since as much as I love Daytona at MSRP, I love 15400 more.
