Would you flip?
Hi guys.
I wisited my dealer today, as I forgot the Submariner booklet there last week when I got the LV. He mentioned he would be getting a Ceramic GMT master soon, LNIB 10 days old! I feel somewhat tempted to flip the Fat lady 16760 GMT master 2 that I have for the Ceramic GMT...  I shouldn't, because I just received bezel inserts from "Greekbum" and left the watch to have the sapphire changed today (because of a 1mm crack on the edge of the glass). So I have spent about 400 euros on the watch these two weeks... Should you flip? I'm sitting on a wonderful 1988 R-serial Fat lady. |

I personally wouldn't. If only for the fact the GMT IIc while beautiful in its own right is a current production model.
The Fat Lady will never be made again. I would keep it and save up for the GMT IIc if it were my choice. |

 Some good advise. Hmmm, Well I guess I have to check if the Ceramic sings to me... Best would be to keep both, but I'm having a hard time explaining these things to my wife... even though me buying a watch doesn't interfere in anyway with our life.

I bought the bezel inserts from "Tempoking", not "Greekbum". Sorry for the mistake.
