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. |
