I can't bring myself to flip Milgauss Black dial(plain)

Got my eye on an upgrade, always wanted to own a Daytona, now the new (more expensive) ceramics have raised the bar price wise. I have enough to part-ex it with my plain Milgauss balck dial...but everytime crunch point comes I chicken out and don't want to let this one go.

I never thought twice about flipping my TT Gmt 2 and Sub C....the milgauss of all the watches i ever owned I thought Id flip the quickest as i'll get bored but the opposite happened here.

Goes to show there's no rule to this game, just go with your heart not whats popular, or whats easier to sell later on...etc.

The Milgauss is lovely and worth holding on to.
With its popularity sadly decreasing plus the new AK using the same case, you'd probably get a poor trade in anyway.
I'd definitely hold on to it and enjoy it.

Yes, I gathered it's not a watch that is in high demand typically. It's better off on my wrist and adding another watch is the more sensible thing to do.

The make, the features of the Milgauss is excellent. It shows as 'under the radar' so when people view it from a distance, it doesn't scream out too loud. The 1000 Gauss protection is a useful feature, one I would personally find more so than 1000 m under water.

The cost to service it is less considering it hasn't got a date feature.
