Trade a 5167/1A for a 5167A? Hear me out on why!

Greetings all.

I know it sounds silly, but hear me out!
I have been fortunate to have bought all of my watches at a much much better time. All but my 5167/1A.

Fast forward to months of trying to find one at a decent price, I have had to pay a significant amount more for waiting a few months as prices kept climbing.
No regrets nevertheless, no-one knew what was coming
I knew it would be impossible to get one at retail for me, and I knew I really wanted to add one to my collection. I intend to wear it as a daily beater, and enjoy the heck out of it.
I also genuinely feel that in this craze of steel sports models, the aqua actually lags behind in price if anything, and is probably the ultimate sports watch for me, and so I justified grey market and don't regret it.
I figure since I was paying the premium anyway, I bought the best I could get. 2020 with pretty much no wear, with a bracelet, buckle, and strap.

I'm debating whether I should trade it for say a same, or slightly older for a decent price difference.
That will do nothing but put me at a lower "premium" at grey, and make me feel a little less guilty for beating up the watch as a daily (which I fully intend to do).

I hope I don't get bashed. My motive is not to make money, but rather reduce my premium if possible, as I did pay high 30s.
No I don't regret buying it, I love the ref, but I was thinking of exploring this option to fulfill the side of me that thinks I am a fool for going grey (something I have not done before).

Just looking for opinions any nothing more. I hope some of you can see where I am coming from.
