Sell or Keep? I need help to decide

Guys,

I have new VC overseas chrono, and just having second thought about it... I'm patek lover and I just purchase this VC a few weeks to complete the holy trinity. Its somehow very similar to my Rolex Daytona. So should I keep or let go and just purchase to PP complications?

What are your thoughts?

Thanks!

Keep the VC, flic the PP.

The PP dial looks like it was designed by a committee.

The Daytona dial has symmetry.

I know little about VC but sure the new overseas model had a calendar window at 4 not 12.

You're correct Karl, the newest version has the date as you describe, and an in-house movement now as well.

Much as I like the change to an in-house vs refinished movement, I still greatly prefer the aesthetics of the date at 12:00 rather than 4:00. The version pictured is the previous model chrono and would probably be my choice of the two if I were forced to pick one. Truthfully though, I don't care for either.

Tony,

Sorry for the confusion, What I meant is I trying to complete the holy trinity of "PP, VC and AP", Rolex is just on my collections.

So far I have completed those three. However, after doing research and professional advise from my friends in Switzerland, independent watch makers, watch bloggers and even AD sales rep, they all agree the PP is the watch to keep. Although VC and AP are nice too, PP in terms of holding value is the best.

Yeah well throw all that out the window. None of these are sure to hold value. Buy what you like to wear!

Ok so basically take the total opposite of what he just said and that'll be my advise

Interesting to know if they are real, since the OP got banned for trying to pass a fake Daytona C as real, the Daytona looks real, the PP hard to say without seeing the back, crazy how good they make fakes nowadays, it's gonna soon kill all private deals, it already has in part in France for example...
