Hey dude, if it's sitting around unworn, you should definitely trade / sell it.  I mean, if you've got a "short list" of watches that you truly desire, and this watch ain't on that list, then a) it could magically turn into a pile of cash, which you would value more than the watch, which could then go towards a watch on your short list, and b) somebody else could give you a wad of cash, for that watch, which they value more than the cash!  Win-win all around!

I’m leaning that way. Not sure I would categorize it as a wad of cash. I’m not looking to flip the watch, more if I sell the watch, sell it to someone that will enjoy wearing the watch and buy something else that I want, and sell it at what the watch cost me. Win:win, I agree. 

Personally I love that watch, it’s one that I’ve primusen myself I’ll snatch up when the kids are older if I come across it I’m getting it. However, I’ve got to agree with @Omeganut if you’re not sure about it you can maybe trade it for something you are sure about or pissibly the funds to get what you’re sure about.  Maybe give it a couple of weeks if you find you’re just not gravitating to it try and get one that’s on your shortlist. 

OP, I perfectly respect your principles and your preferences.  Though, allow me to make one philosophical argument, and hopefully it might be helpful with regard to your plans for the watch.

"Flippers" get a bad rap.  We all know that they were the embodiment of all that is craven and evil with our society, and that they alone are responsible for the moral decay of American culture and for excessive plaque build-up on our teeth.  However, lets, for a moment, pretend that we're all autistic, like me.  An autist would say the following:

• All voluntary transactions are Pareto efficient - meaning, at least 1 party's utility has increased without decreasing the utility of any other party
• If you were to "flip" the watch, for a massive profit over what you paid, you would generate significant "producer surplus" for yourself.  You're handing over the watch to someone, for a wad of cash that you value more than the watch - thus you have increased utility for yourself
• The buyer values the watch more than the wad of cash.  Thus, he has increased utility for himself!
• Both parties are better off than they were before the voluntary exchange
• "Utility" and "surplus" is just fancy-schmancy terminology for "happiness"

If you list the watch, at market price - not what you paid for it - and someone purchases it voluntarily, then you have magically created happiness out of thin air.  

Now, I know that people have many different worldviews, but my worldview is such that if someone does something that increases the total amount of happiness in the universe, that is, by my definition, a moral good.  Therefore, in my book, flippers are doing god's work, and you too would be doing god's work, were you to flip your watch for profit.

Ohh! What would you trade it for?

What you try to get instead, and can you get it?

I’d like a Rolex Explorer Mark 2. 

I for sure didn't like it to begin with but it really has grown on my. Every time I go to the AD I try it on and it just looks so good. I really don't wear that much gold so it's been easier to resist for sure. That said if you aren't wearing it or it can't break into rotation then maybe time to move it

If it is sitting in a safe, not being worn, the watch deserves to be sold and owned by somebody else that is going to enjoy it and wear it. That’s how I view it. And besides you’re not enjoying the watch, so what is it to you if you get rid of it? It’s not doing anything in your life at the moment anyway. Whenever I stop wearing a watch and don’t think about it-it’s time to sell and move on. I know I’m late to the commentary, but I hope you made a decision that you’re content with! Cheers!
