Feel like if you wanted a fluted bezel and some flash then you should have kept the DJ that you traded for the Daytona.

You're right the SkyD won't appreciate in value as much. And agree that HK is safer than most places but in my opinion the locale should not factor into the decision in buying a watch. Who knows you might need to move one day to one of these non HK riff raff places.

I guess typically I would suggest to stick with the watch you like the best and will appreciate the best. But maybe clarify what you're looking to do first with a watch. Is it to be flashy and stand out from the crowd? I've never heard anyone complain a gold Daytona isn't flashy enough.
