Wife influencing my decision!!!

[jg2525]

Bought a GMT master 2 Pepsi S/S about a year ago and shared with this forum, I enjoy reading what you guys discuss on a regular basis. Due to recent good fortunes I have decided to "upgrade". My local dealer that I bought the GMT from(which is a 2004 model by the way), has a 2011 116610 sub that I want. I love the model, the size, it really just catches my eye. So my wife looks at it tonight at the store and says, your GMT just looks better than this one...I was floored. She seems to think the sub is more muted looking, never mind the Pepsi bezel. She is referring to the stainless steel and crystal, and that mine just has more "pop". I guess I could see where the much newer stainless steel is maybe a little more muted?? The GMT has never been "polished" but I do keep it wiped with a cloth regularly. Is it possible that this has given it more "shine". She is on board with the trade but I hate, and you guys know what I mean, when she has a reservation about something. She is proud I can do it, but I don't like upgrading to something when my spouse thinks it's a step back in her "non Rolex way of thinking". Thanks everybody, curious what your opinions are.
