Simple question.....

Would you trade a lnib gmt II d serial coke for a new DSSD? The extra cash is not the issue, it's just a question of would you......

Me, yes. But this question is a matter of preference. I like the DS, if you don't you'll say no.

Can't go wrong with either one. Both are fantastic models! I would go with the one that you personally feel best wearing.

No...in MY opinion the DS is too big. The Pepsi isn't made any more and is a real classic. Just my opinion

The DSSD is a Badass, but its HUGE! I bet you will miss the GMT. I did. I traded mine, and missed it so much, I ended up buying another one!

I wear GMT's so I wouldn't have a lnib GMT II in a box....

I don't wear DSSD's. so, no, I would not make that trade...

Yeah without thinking. Am I wrong or is that trade about 2-3k in your favor? You say the cash is not the issue but neither watch is particularly collectible at this point and so many were made of each it is silly to think they will be in the near future. Which would I rather wear? The coke.

I wouldn't - but it's purely a personal preference thing... No bad choices here. :)

Am I crazy or did this switch from a Coke to a Pepsi mid-stream? And I like the DSSD and will probably purchase one, but I don't think I would trade a LNIB Coke for it.

I'd rather have the Coke than the DSSD, and I already have a GMT.

How can anyone answer that question for you? It boils down to which you prefer.
