One in One out

Well after lots of thinking and lots of should it stay or should it go now... I decided to part with my TT Yachtmaster 16623 and trade it for a BLNR. My new watch is on its way tonight, scheduled to make landfall tomorrow.

My life is more casual now and I just found I wasn't wearing that beautiful watch enough. I haven't seen a BLNR in the flesh but I have a SubC ND so I have a pretty good idea what I am in for. I am almost glad I haven't seen one yet, it will be surprise ... a good one I hope :-)

This one left in the mail today on its way to its new home

Love that contrasting white dial, but nothing beats a GMT. Wear in good health!

Thanks everyone I really struggled with the decision ... really struggled :-) It was hard to part with the YM but I am pretty excited about the new watch. Both the Sub and GMT work better with my current lifestyle and I am getting pretty excited to see the new GMT.
