Icon5 Trying to decide, GMT IIc vs. Omega SMP

Not having buyers remorse but I am trying to decide if I should keep the GMT IIc I got on Monday, return it, keep my Omega SMP or sell my Omega?

I bought the Omega SMP 2254.50 with a black dial a while back because I wanted a SS sport watch w/black dial for a daily wearer and thought "Why spend $5-6k on a beater?" The SMP was the perfect choice and it as a great watch. I wasn't looking to get another SS watch when David and I had lunch with our AD until he told me he had the GV Milgauss and who wouldn't buy one for MSRP? When that didn't happen and he offered me the GMT IIc, I really liked the look plus he offered me a little discount so I bought it.

My buddy stopped over last night and he was looking at my collection and made the same observation. I know one is a diver, the other a gmt but they are both sport, ss, black dialed watches and serve the same purpose for me.

So...I don't need to keep both and my needs are for a daily ss watch. It's not all about the money but let's face it, there is $4500 difference between them. If I keep the GMT IIc it also means I am not going to be purchasing a SS Daytona in the near future which isn't the end of the world as I love the TT Daytona I bought recently. I can afford to keep the GMT without any financial hardship but it means I am done purchasing anything else for a while.

So, petty as it is in the scheme of the world, this is my problem. I know, my life sucks having to make these tough decisions.

Any input or thoughts would be appreciated.

For those that don't know what the Omega looks like, here it is.
