Current Rotation

Hello guys I hope you are all doing well. I am new to the collection scene, I also not pictured below have a yachtmaster 2 rolex two tone and a franck muller 8880 chocolate & rose gold. I am considering selling either my white dial datejust or my daytona in hopes of using the cash to purchase a Girard Perregaux Laureato Skeleton in stainless steel. What do you guys think would you recommend or no? Also why is it that GP is seemingly quite unpopular?

Sounds reasonable, if a) you really, really want the Laureato (a cool watch from a distinguished brand) and b) you don't really like your DJ or Daytona.

I think the GP doesn't get much love because it suffers (perhaps unjustly) from perceived AP Royal Oak copycat syndrome. Too bad.

GP makes some great watches, but I've read many comments that resale value is poor. Seems to me its the same story with most brands. That Laureato is very cool.

Nice collection. Let’s see that FM!

I’d keep the Daytona and trade the DJ toward the GP Skeleton.
