Does This Make Me a Bad Person

HI needs some thoughts from my fellow TRF'ers! Since obtaining my 16618ln about 8 months ago, it has happily become my daily drive. It has left my Sub C 114060 sitting in the watchbox. I am seriously considering moving my Sub C on and unlocking its value , which is almost double what I paid. This thread is not a "should I sell my Sub C" debate though.

If I move on the Sub C I will most likely replace it with either dressier Rolex or something in the high end range from a different brand. My question isnt about what "high end" watch to buy though either.

Here is the question, I know if I execute this plan I will want to buy an affordable diver. I was thinking of something very affordable, like an Orient Mako etc, something for a few hundred dollars to wear the very odd time I wont want to wear the gold sub or the Sub C replacement, (annual ice fishing trip with the boys, deer hunting etc.)whatever that may be. Anyhow I really like the look of the Steinhart Ocean One Vintage! (pic below) I am told that it is a homage to a vintage Rolex Red Sub. I have no interest in pretending to own a vintage Rolex, (I have owned several other models besides my current) I just like the look of this diver.

Does this make me a bad person if I grab one for a few hundred bucks? Am I poser with a homage watch betraying the brand I love?
