Would you sell your 1803?

I like the watch, but I’m not in love.

1. It’s not for me to be wearing a gold bracelet
2. Leather - I’m in Miami and leather is iffy in this humid weather (at least for me).
3. Vintage I’m always babying it. I’m worried about it. It’s from 1970.
4. Gold. When I put the watch I feel like my skin gets hot. Literally, it gets warm. Today I have a little irritation from it.

Are these enough reasons?

I’m being offered 9k with president bracelet etc.

I’d sell it to eventually get newer gmt (from 1990s or 80s) or a nautilus in a year.

I’m a big fan of the 1803 in YG on a Rolex leather strap...it’s a sophisticated look and ridiculously classy. But that’s just me. It sounds like you’re wanting something else entirely. You only need one good/thoughtful reason to sell a watch; you’ve listed several reasons why the 1803 doesn’t suit you. I’d say move forward on the sale and acquire the watch you truly want to wear.

Trade it for a white gold version. I heard they don't get as hot.

Love the YG Day Date, but you don't, so sell it and get something you like. Pretty simple really.
