I would have kept the GMT and buy the sea-dweller as well.

Both are great pieces and its not like you can not find them around anymore, there are plenty of pre-owned GMT's floating about these days, Congrats on the SD.

Love the GMTII, but also love the SD. Don't know how I would decide - so tell us, how did you?

Great watches, BTW!

Stick with your heart, you made a great decision regardless. Give it some time and down the road pick up the other one.
I have the DD and GMT so I know your anguish!

I just bought an "M" series SD a week ago and went through the same thing, very happy w/ my choice especially as the SD is discontinued.
You definitely made the right choice.

I don't know, man...think I would have kept the GMT and traded the DD. Never really liked those, but who am I to talk? Just a sucker for the sports, I guess no offense.
