For 3 000 euros = new sub no date in 6 months or a 2005 in 3 days?

[Bilbox]

I hesitated between a brand new no date sub in 6 months from a grey dealer (a friend of mine can bring me the watch in november from the USA) or a 2005 no date sub from a second hand shop in France (where I live) for the same price.

What would you do ?

I personally have no patience when it comes to waiting for something I want now!
cant see waiting for 6 months for sure.

buy the pre-owned sub first wear it for 5 1/2 months then sell it off, give the money from the proceeds to yr fren to bring back a new one from the usa.

Smart strategy.

But :
- the price of the watch can go up in 6 months
- grey dealer may not have it in 6 months as it is discontinued
- the euro might not be as strong as today in 6 months
- I may NOT be able to to resell the old watch the price I paid for it (as it is from a pro seller and so pricier than from a private seller)

Your opinion ?

Thanks
