Rolex p/x 1997 14060 for new 114060M

[38911]

Been given the opportunity to p/x my 1997 Rolex 14060 for a brand new 114060M. £2k cost to upgrade.

Really like the idea of a more modern bracelet + the new bezel.... is this a decent deal?

14060 has box (though not sure if it's the original one) and papers (with serial number). No service history but keeps spot on time.

Is the 18 year old 14060 any more of an investment than a new 114060M? I assumed they would both hold/appreciate equally and relative to each other?

The 14060 "owes" me £3,400 which is what I paid a year ago. The £2k cost to change means the 114060M will have cost me nett £5,400 which I know is about £750 more than the going rate for a new one... but I would hope the 114060M will remain worth, say £1k more than the 14060?

Or am I letting the appeal of a new ceramic bezel, engraved rehaut and better bracelet cloud my judgment?
