Daytona is the only watch (for now) that you can get return on your investment.

Frankly speaking, watches are not a good way to invest your money in.

SS Daytona is the only Rolex I can think of that is worth more immediately after you buy it at MSRP than what you pay for it.

I don't have any doubt about the better resale of the Daytona. However, I've been thinking about one myself. If you buy it strictly for that reason you should keep it BNIB or close to it. If I am lucky enough to get one I'm going to wear it. In fact, it would probably be my daily wearer as my other is a TT DJ. I will probably flip my SS Sub. I'm going to be 64 in Dec. and I'm getting too old to be saving possesions so I can leave them to my kids.

Another vote for the Daytona. The new GMT is a wonderfull, but ... it's new, and as such is not yet up to the numbers we will be seeing in the near future.

I know, Velitsko, I meant that it is not easy to get in general.
