Advice needed. Keep SubC Date or Daytona?

[azalia1]

Hi everyone! You may remember me from my first thread a couple months ago where most of you convinced me to buy my first Rolex, a new SubC Date. I have been loving it!

However, by complete luck/chance (literally) I just had the opportunity to purchase a new black dial Daytona for MSRP. I only had about ten seconds to decide if I wanted it, so of course I said yes. LOL

I love both watches, but I can really only afford/rationalize keeping one of the two.

The SubC is almost new - I have been babying it and it has only a few minor hairline marks on the bracelet that are only visible if you look very carefully. The Daytona is brand new and unworn in its plastic “coffin” still. But Both were “de-stickered” by the AD.

So here are my options:

-Sell the Daytona, presumably for a profit. How much? Not sure, but I assume at least a couple thousand dollars? Keep wearing my SubC and enjoy.

-Sell the lightly worn SubC, I’m guessing for a small loss? Maybe almost break even if I’m lucky? And then, stretch my budget further to start wearing and enjoying the Daytona (which I never thought I would ever own only because I saw online prices close to $19-20k and just said “nope!”) and enjoy the fact that I am apparently a pretty lucky first time Rolex owner!

If you read my previous thread you would know I had to overcome a significant amount of lost opportunity cost “fear of missing out” to convince myself to spend the dough on the Sub, but as soon as I got it I had no regrets.

Now I’m holding a new Daytona in my hands which cost me about 40% more than the sub, but which I bought on a rush of adrenaline simply because I knew it was unlikely I would have the opportunity to get one again at that price any time in the foreseeable future, and that if I had buyers remorse I could flip it without a loss. (Please don’t get mad at me for having this thought process. I did not plan on this happening, it was just a spur of the moment decision when the opportunity came up.)

Decisions, decisions. What should I do?

And please don’t just say “keep the one that sings to me”... they are both singing so loudly I feel like I’m going deaf! 🤪🤪🤪
