Which one to keep to compliment YG / White Dial Daytona?

Can only keep two for now. Keep the 16710 w/ 3186 (all three bezels and both bracelets) or keep 116719 White Gold GMT? Part of me wants 2 precious medals in different colors but the other part thinks the 3186 is a future collector. Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Even if it is a future “collector” by the time you
Have sold it to a dealer etc you might get a few k more in 20 years at best

I love the 116719 personal favourite :)

I have a 3186 late 2007 GMT which was purchased in 2014 and was a complete random coincidence.

Even back then a 6 digit movement in the 5 digit gmt wasn’t a thing.

Rarity in watches that achieve extreme values is usually the result of one offs, low production runs like the Le Mans Daytona etc.

I don’t think these transitional GMT’s will fetch any more than the slight premium they might fetch like they do today. I appreciate this comment might age badly but these haven’t ever gone crazy.

The WG gmt is objectively a much better and more special watch. I’d keep that.

The 12 series meteorite I would say is one for the future where values could go mental. Any meteorite or stone dial DD too.

For now all prices are going down. If you wait for the 3186 to become more collectable than it is already you’ll have to wait a very very long time I am afraid.

That out of the equation of course you should keep your WG

Keep your WG GMT. I was holding an F series LV that I bought for 4,500 and fortunately sold it for 24k. The prices have diminished. Keep what you love rather than speculate what the other reference will be worth.

Hmm...tough one.

I like the PM as a complement idea, but I don't think I would want to part with the 5 digit, either. That's a special watch, IMO.

I guess it depends on what you're feeling the best about wearing right now, vs a collector's standpoint.
