am I insane...story inside..

hello,

i need some advise.. and im a nursing student btw...

so here it goes....

I bought 16800 like 3yrs ago... and im loving the watch.. and its a keeper...

then im looking for a 2nd watch so i got subC.. then flipped it because i feel like its too expensive for me and didnt like the lugs but i like the maxi dial...

so i came up with the idea to buy an LV.... sort of a downgrade and also i get the sexy lugs and maxi dial at the same time...

but now... im not enjoying it since im always tend to baby the watch when im using it... and i also feel that its still too expensive for me...

now the thing is... i have couple of buyers for it already....

and thinking of downgrading to Black bay so i can use it without care... and as a beater watch...


the question is...

If you were in my situation... will you sell lv for black bay or do you think id regret this afterwards?

current collection
g-shock surfrider
16800 matte dial transitional model
seiko mm300
orient star blued hands with power reserve...

You already have a sub,a 16800. Get the black bay and if you want a SubC pick one up a few years down the road--they will still be around

Sell it, you can always buy another if you want it back.

If you're afraid of wearing the Sub then by all means look into the BB or maybe even the pelagos... that would have even more "tool watch" appeal.

Change your definition of "too expensive" and go look at some PP's or AP's, then you won't feel bad beating up your Rolex.

Forget this Black Bay stuff, get the Pelagos. End of problem.

I don't know why you'd want another sub, the 16800 matte dial is THE sub.

And you can do the "downgrade" to Black Bay, love that watch.
