Anybody trade up from 116610LV to 116619?

Looking for advice on this trade up or if anybody has done it personally. Any regrets? For context, I have had a 116610LV since 2013 but am getting that PM itch thanks to you all .

While I would love to have both, to make an impractical purchase slightly more practical, I would plan on selling my current watch if I upgrade. I also like to only have one of a type of watch to be as broad as possible, as I don't have plans on having more than 2-3 watches at a time.

While there are many great PM options, I've found the 116619 would be the best candidate for me as the sub is very comfortable with the glidelock and at this point I prefer a more muted gold. The rose gold Daytona on a bracelet with chocolate dial is intriguing I will admit, but I would hate to be without a sub and will get the new SS Daytona eventually.

Don't get me wrong, I love the green sub, but I find myself drawn more and more to the blue sub. On the other hand the practical part of me thinks it may be silly to spend over $20k on the price difference for essentially the same watch with a different color dial and bezel (or is that being "sacrilegious" in saying so?). Then I rationalize that this "upgrade fee" is a one time thing and I can enjoy this watch for good as I wouldn't need to upgrade past gold.

Thanks for any insight and enabling!
