Currently with my brother in-law and he's asking me to swap his Omega for my GMT...

Personal taste of course but I prefer the Tudor between the two.

If he has the bracelet, then I would do it. Can always rebuy the Tudor if you miss it

Yes, as long as you like the size of the Omega. These two watches aren't even close to being in the same league imho.

I like Omega and I wouldn’t do it. However, the only opinion that matters in this case is yours! Enjoy your new watch!

The omega is a great watch but much bigger and bulkier

Objectively, as someone who owns Rolex, Tudor and Omega - the METAS chrono diver is a much much much more expensive watch, new or used, than the BB GMT. FWIW.

I like both pieces, but it's a financially smart trade for the OP to make.

Also, in truth I find the Tudor to be really thick for what it is - at least a third again thicker than a GMT-master II. I haven't measured, but it seems so.

Try a 30 day experiment with a mutual switchback if needed.

It'd definitely do that trade. Your brother in-law must be off his head.

Go for it if you want. Love my OMEGA 50th, and she's very comfy to wear too.

Great idea! I agree with this recommendation. Both are just so different.
