This type of stuff crosses everyone's mind. Your daytona is now worth x, and you could have xyz with that money. Ultimately it really comes down to you. Some people choose a 911 Turbo S and other people choose a Corvette + Escalade. Which do you like better? Its the same money more or less. So which do YOU prefer? If you enjoy the daytona and love wearing it, keep it. If its not fun anymore cause you keep thinking about value, maybe its time to get rid of it. I dont have a platona but i have a 116500LN and its value has trippled (i bought at retail). I could buy a lot of nice watches with that money... But i like my daytona. And I wear it often. So is trading it in something I am considering? Nope. Not yet anyway.

I constantly thinking about consolidating and I'd love to wear just 3 watches to simplify things.

Pt Daytona or WG Blue Dial Daytona daily
Pt 5270p
321 Ed White remake

Arguably 3 of the best modern/current watches from 3 great brands (for me). None of them are OTT.

Problem is, when it comes to parting with my watches to make this happen, I just can't make the leap. Plus I'd end up telling myself I need a beater and buy a no date sub, then I need something on rubber and get a WG Daytona, then its because I need a GMT so id get an aquanaut. It just doesn't stop.

I would agree with 2/3 of this :) I have owned many many watches, IMO, the Platona is my Rolex grail and you would need to pry from my cold dead hands. Hard pressed to find a better plat watch on bracelet.
