Backed away - WG Daytona Meteorite
I have posted before about my indecision about what to do with my WG Daytona with meteorite on black strap. On Saturday I was presented with a great opportunity on the same watch but on bracelet. I've long desired a WG Daytona on bracelet and always assumed I'd trade this strap piece for it, and it seemed to make sense to retain the meteorite dial. However upon further reflection, I decided to back away for the following reasons:
1. Poor trade value on the strap piece and no financial reason to sell. 2. I think the meteorite looks better on strap than on bracelet. It seems maybe too monochromatic on bracelet, kind of like a YM. 3. This bracelet model was preowned and there seemed to be too much of a back story for a 1 year old watch. Random serial and updated clasp. 4. I already have a SS Daytona with black dial, so already have a similar look. 5. Already have a WG DD when I want the WG, so no incremental pick up there either. What do you think? Still a beautiful watch and would have done it in a heartbeat if it were my one and only, but all things considered, keeping this provides some variety. |
