Could you imagine? Would you sell or keep?

Post by Stretch44 »

Paul Newman Daytona found in second hand couch purchased for $25. Would keep it or sell it? I don't know what I'd do. Crazy.

A watch vs a house and a boob job?
No contest.

Well, I think the opposite sex might find me more attractive with the Daytona than a boob job.

Regardless, I would wear it a couple times, take some pics and put that mofo to auction.

Yup. And then I'd buy a new explorer to keep forever and pay off my student loans and mortgage.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

Pay off medical bills, put a large downpayment on a house, buy a grail watch, invest the remainder.

Sell it. I wouldn't be comfortable with that much money on my wrist, and the cash could be put to better use. I might take a chunk of the proceeds to buy a watch well above my normal budget, but we're talking 1-2% of the Daytona's value.

%99 of people do not notice or care whats on your wrist. All that matters is that YOU like what you see.

I don't think I could wear it in public. It'd be like walking down the street with a winning lotto ticket.

I guess we don't have a bunch of WIS gazillionaires here.

I see you gave that couch a pretty good work over looking for a Daytona. :) Nice try!

It'd deliberately go to the highest bidder.

I don't care for the watch, anyway. ;)
Just my $0.02 USD as always.
