A 5% drop in value in the seiko is purely hypothetical. Try and sell it.
It will be worth what someone is prepared to pay you for it.
I had a client who wanted to part ex a recently purchased Grand Seiko against an Omega aqua terra day date. I said no as after I asked about nobody would even bid me ANYTHING on it. And I was the third or fourth Omega stockist who had turned him away. -
You clearly have impeccable taste.
I've narrowed down my GS hunt down to one of two SS quartz models or one of two Ti spring drive models.
I'll probably be making a decision tomorrow night, when I'm about 5 pints deep of course.

Antidotes
@Soul
I've spent ~£5.5k on a 'Seiko'
I've also spent ~£2.5k on a Rolex
The Rolex has gone up in value (maybe 60%, though a lot of that is exchange rates) and the Seiko has gone down in value (about 5%, though it's only 8 months old so too soon to tell long term value).
I don't plan on selling either.
The Seiko feels nicer to wear, i get more compliments on it (I don't remember the last time anyone complimented me on the Rolex) and it's clearly the higher quality of the two. I wear the Rolex more often because it feels less special but also because I don't have to worry about it.
It's possible to like both; I like both.
