To Flip Or Not?

Hi guys been offered £1500 above the purchase price of my new Milgauss GV. love the look of the watch. but its very tempting. what do you guys think i should do. do you think this watch will be as hard to come by as a daytona?

regards sean

Flip it and No, IMO. This is no Daytona...nice watch though but a good profit is to be had here on a watch you will find again.

Flip it...there's no mass appeal for the new Milguass.

Jump on that offer with both feet. The Milgauss will never be that desirable and it's current hype is fading at a rapid rate.

100% agreed...FLIP IT. The Milgauss does not have the market following of the Daytona so take the money and run. If you miss it, get back on an AD's list for a replacement.

Flip it and laugh all the way to the bank. Unless you really like it, want to wear it and won't feel bad when the prices for them come down to earth in a year or so and you've lost the chance to flip for a good price...

Flip it in a heartbeat. £1500 profit is a good day's pay.
