It appears you're a hard working chap so a beater is probably best, and a 118238 in the safe for evenings. If you dress smart enough you can pull it off. Looks a bit much at your age (and mine) with shorts and T (retired look). You've had a Subby Already. Time to up your game!

Get the BLNR. Modern SS piece that packs everything you could need. Also. a fresh start with something new.The DD will come around later in life..

Imho either go with another Sub (current 116610) or the GMT BLNR. Either way a fresh start. The DD can wait!

If you don't think you can pull off the DD, then by all means get your sub back.

So you are considering buying a watch today that you don't really want today , but think you will in years from now. Yea, weird right. . Get what you want now. It's quite simple. You want something else later then deal with it at that point.

Get the 16610 for sure. The 118238 will be a fun chase for the years to come, but the 16610 will mean so much more to you. Plus, compound interest man, save that paper now!

I have a BLNR and switch it on and off the Oyster bracelet, a Super Jubilee bracelet and an Everest rubber strap. It's a really versatile watch and goes well with everything - a real keeper.

But you have an emotional attachment and history with your 16610. My sense is that if you don't get it back you will forever be looking over your shoulder and it will become your "Rosebud" (check the movie reference).

A SubC would be my vote. A stunning piece that just seems to get cooler with age. In 50 years that watch will still be timeless and sought after.
