My choice is this....

Trade my Breitling Superocean 44 for a Sub or Gmtc(I still really like my SO)

Or

Keep my BSO and buy an Omega Planet Ocean 8500 42m orange dial...

Or

Keep my BSO and buy a Milgauss...prob GV but could be black dial....

Finances and Deals on watches are determining these choices....

The Third Option being the most costly...the first two being similar in cost to trade/buy....

Oh what to do?

If you still really like your SO why get rid of it, save a little more and buy the Sub or the Gmt, good luck

Keep the SO44, as it is a great dive watch and get the Milgauss as something a little dressier; maybe white dial to be different.

I prefer to save instead of flip. I might sell if I was going for something extremely expensive like a DDII.

Out of the sub, GMT, Planet Ocean and Milgauss, decide which one you like the best and work towards getting it.

If you still really like your BSO, I wouldn't part with it.

I agree with the others to keep saving. I kept my beloved Steelfish and bought this.

If you still enjoy your SO, don't sell/trade it. I've done that enough times to know that you'll regret it.
