I hate to hold onto a watch I prob won’t wear as much now. I got an offer from a popular online place that I’ve purchased from in the past (not sure if I’m allowed to mention who they are) that gave a consignment price which isn’t too bad and they take a 15% cut but I would still lose approx $2k which is a big hit in just a few months. Is it better to take the hit now and move on ?
I did submit it to Breitling on their website for a trade quote and the offer was so horrible. Just hate having a watch sit not bring worn….

Not exactly what you are asking but I thought I’d share my experience of purchasing a new Breitling (Avenger Seawolf)
I bought it on the bracelet and just couldn’t get used to it. I think the fact the bracelet is quite broad and doesn’t taper made it feel more uncomfortable somehow.
I decided to buy a Breitling rubber strap with the adjustable clasp. The clasp itself is brilliant and makes it super easy to get the exact fit but I just couldn’t get used to the rubber feeling on the wrist. At that point I thought about selling it but I wasn’t keen on taking the hit.
After several years of the watch mostly gathering dust I switched it back to the bracelet and now absolutely love wearing the watch. No discomfort at all. Gets equal wrist time with my Rolex Sea-Dweller and Sub.
A long winded story to say that although you may not particularly like wearing the watch just now, you may easily change your mind in the future.
