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 would flip and don't anticipate seeing a SS ceramic Daytona for a while.

luvsub · 22 April 2015, 02:40 AM

I will flip it.

KevNev · 22 April 2015, 02:50 AM

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

Yes me too. The steel Daytona is a nice watch but IMHO not worth the absurd premium it commands.

If you really want a Daytona, I would look at the TT model which offers several dial variations and sells at a discount to MSRP.

However, if it was me, I would stick to the blue Milgauss.

Agree.

gummy · 22 April 2015, 02:53 AM

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!

wildcatrx · 22 April 2015, 02:56 AM

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.

nick c · 22 April 2015, 03:03 AM

Yes sir Daytona all the way

00pumpkin · 22 April 2015, 03:11 AM

Yes, I would make that trade.

Mr. Vegas · 22 April 2015, 03:36 AM

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

The heart wants what it wants. Once you get the itch, you won't be satisfied til you scratch.

hitman23 · 22 April 2015, 02:54 AM

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

hitman23 · 22 April 2015, 02:55 AM

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

karva · 22 April 2015, 03:31 AM

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

Floorguy · 22 April 2015, 03:34 AM

Two totally different watches.

Air Tzar · 22 April 2015, 03:41 AM

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

travisb · 22 April 2015, 03:50 AM

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.

x2

wildcatrx · 22 April 2015, 04:01 AM

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.

lig · 22 April 2015, 04:05 AM

In a heartbeat.

SemperFi · 22 April 2015, 04:15 AM

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.

ap1 · 22 April 2015, 05:22 AM

AK797 · 22 April 2015, 05:30 AM

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

This is probably very true. I don't see it happening anytime soon. I'm sure it will happen someday. Maybe when they have an developed graphene or some other future material to the level where they can make watch bezels out of it, the ceramic might pass down to the SS.
I hope I am wrong however.
I would love to see a SLIGHTLY larger Daytona anyway but don't think that will ever happen either..

Yes, I do think it is probably a long way off, however as they have still not put ceramic on the WG it is still a possibility unlike the BLRO and SS. And if they were to put a £2-3K premium on it over the non-ceramic I still think it would sell very well and waiting lists would not be quite so astronomical!

watchwatcher · 22 April 2015, 05:37 AM

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.

GsurgBM · 22 April 2015, 07:10 AM

Flipville.

RHIII · 22 April 2015, 09:42 AM

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.

It's the watch that you can wear every single day of your life and not worry about, or it's the watch you can put in a safe and have it rise in value year after year. The Submariner is, in my belief, the quintessential timepiece for many. When my mind thinks of the word 'watch,' it is a Submariner I see."
