Offered different watch from AD than I wanted. should I?

[docmri]

I had originally asked AD for James Cameron Deepsea And black SUb Date . I went back and told them to take the JC off the list since I decided it was a little too big for me.

Anyways, fast forward a year. Just got a call to offer the JC and not the sub.

Should I take it? I still like the watch but not as much as the subdate . I am not as enamored with it like I originally was..I also don't want to buy a watch that may be purchased for less than or close to retail in the secondary market after waiting a year. Is this watch going to hold value or appreciate? Is it something that a secondary retailer would take in value towards a watch I do prefer? Need to act quick so appreciate the input.

I wouldn’t buy it unless you wanted it. Sounds like you already told them you’re not interested in it.

I told them a year ago I preferred the sub and didn't want to take up two spots on the list for two different wathed which would lower my chance of getting the sub.
But, I was offered this instead a year later..
I love the blue-black face but thought it might feel heavy as an everyday wearer.
My wife tells me she think I will get used to it.
Frankly, I am afraid if I say no to it I will be pushed further back on the list for the sub.
I don't mind buying it to keep in line for the sub and will likely wear it and enjoy it. But, wonder if this holds its value or appreciates like a sub does. The impression I get is it doesn't but I am not sure.

I don't mind buying it to hold as an investment either if it holds its value or appreciates. I may start wearing it also and get used to the weight. But, I am mostly thinking about the appreciation investment part now.

Don’t buy it. That watch is a brick and most people get tired of it

Buy what you want not what they want to sell to you

Thanks.

My advice would be don’t try to play the AD game of you don’t know what you are doing.

Just buy what you want to and pass on what you don’t.

Personally, I like the JCDS but wouldn’t buy it as a sub replacement. It’s more of an enhancement piece in a collection than a do it all watch.

Since you prefer the Sub Date over the JC and aren't as excited about it anymore, it might be best to wait for the watch you really want. The JC might hold value, but the Sub Date is generally more sought after. If you buy the JC now, you could trade it later, but that depends on dealer interest. Make sure you're comfortable with your decision—choosing a watch should bring you joy!

You mentioned you decided it was too big for you. Did you try one on to come to that conclusion?
