often children do not have the same interests in life as we do and in any case she may choose a different watch.

Thank you John. After reading your comment I must say that the argument that if you don’t wear it, which has been the case for the last couple of years, why keep it...has won me over. That in combination with thomashudsons argument for trading up and I fe... 

If it feels wasteful to you to have it sit, I say trade up for one you’ll use.

Only a Patek you buy for the next generation, say Patek! I think the best is not to sale, you loose to much. When it is posible you can buy the GMT. Generaly it is not a good idea to sale a Rolex, they always come back. Best Walter ...  

Thanks for your suggestion Walter and what a coincidence that you posted the advertisement of Patek with the model I have bought for my son, the 5296G-001. Lovely piece which I will keep for sure!

And also has a daughter wich is also interested in watches, and even also from the Netherlands...

If you are not going to wear it anymore maybe its best to sell it .

If you can lose only that its a no brainer to sell if your not wearing. Some watches lose 70 to 80 percent right out of the door. Buy Rolex or Patek.

Yesterday I drove to Germany and sold my Datejust and no regrets because I am really looking forward to see (and buy...) the new GMT Master with the pepsi dial. Thanks everyone for your suggestions!
