Good job, glad this has been taken down. What a true shame and it makes me feel sorry for the ones who do end up making purchases like this.
Chrono24 does have the escrow service I believe, so hopefully buyers of these pieces with less experience (who may not use the vintage Rolex forums) actually have a local watch maker who can inspect it for them upon arrival.
No idea how smooth the process would be to actually end up getting the money back, but they make it sound easy enough.

Wow, that thing needs to be reported and removed from any platform it may be on for sale. The neo-vintage pieces I remember from a few decades ago, but never really got much into educating myself on this era of watch from Rolex.

I really like the Daytona but totally understand where you're coming from. Years ago a friend of mine with pretty much the exact same wrist size let me try it on.

Glad you got to enjoy it but I'm sure you won't miss it. Can't wait to see the incoming piece!

I'm thinking profit motive has something to do with it, to a certain extent. Some very dishonest (to be nice) individuals have gone to great lengths to take advantage of well meaning buyers to line their own pockets. With the big following this brand has for both modern and vintage it attracts a lot of attention from the wrong individuals.

So glad you dodged this bullet, Steve. The vintage market can be a minefield so to speak. The Submariner is the better option for you in my opinion anyway.

Nicko Agreed wholeheartedly regarding living to the fullest and cherishing each moment. That sounds difficult, indeed, but I know for a fact he would want you to enjoy your life to the max and be happy.

I'm excited for this update and can assure you that if you've got any doubts, walk away from the deal. Someone else would be happy to trade the Daytona as aforementioned.
Your daughter is right, and I get the sense you're going to be happiest with the Submariner.
Albeit a rare piece, for trading or selling the GMT, will it be harder without the original bracelet? I'm assuming yes but due to the fact it is a special model so to speak some might be ok with this.
If I had to vote I would say go for the Submariner. If trading towards the Submariner would it be easier or better with the Daytona going towards it?

Oh yeah, I wouldn't wear an original bracelet from this era of watch either on a daily basis. They were made for this but with a piece of history on your wrist it can be difficult at times to not want to preserve it.
Fingers crossed that you get the desirable outcome here! Now if you had the choice between this GMT or a red Submariner, which would you pick?

Well certainly keep us posted! Always do what makes you happiest, and try find they piece you're going to enjoy for a long time.
The good news is, although you may not totally like the Daytona, many others do and this will work to your advantage trying to sell or trade it.
What bracelet or strap would you put on this GMT if you do end up getting it?

Very cool, Steve! So you've decided to trade the Daytona or just picking this one up in addition to?

This makes perfect sense, Steve! The Daytona is certainly a spacial watch, one I would definitely keep in the collection.
This is obviously a win-win situation as Roger points out. And like you've stated, this Daytona was purchased for a reason. The chronograph function can also be fun too operate and of course useful.
