[Please tell me I did the right choice] Well I would have thought only yourself could answer that question, if you are happy then thats all that matters.

Are you happy with the GMT over the Sub? If so, then yes. Yes you did.

It seems like a fair trade. In the GMT, you get two more useful complications. Since you’re asking, you probably have doubts. I don’t own either but it may wear the same.

All I can say is that I would rather have the GMT, similar watch but has two more complications.

If you’re asking dollar wise, is suppose

If you’re asking about which one is preferred, that’s a personal choice and you’re going to get a bunch of people who say the GMT is the better watch and others who say the Sub is the better watch

Prefer the GMT to Sub everyday. BUT, I use the Zulu time zone for work so easy choice for me.

Question is: Are you happy with deal and GMT? That is all that matters!

Wear in happiness!

Two different watches and both very nice. If it was what you wanted to do then it was the right trade.

I think the deal was good and personally prefer the GMT. But of course me being happy with it doesn’t matter :).

Financially it's fine and I assume you prefer the GMT otherwise you wouldn't have done it in the first place

Usually this question should be asked before the transaction.

I think it’s a solid trade. Assuming they are both in similar condition / have similar warranty left (if both none then so be it), but this is ultimately up to you!

If your asking if you took it in the shorts, I don’t think so at all!

Sounds good. I prefer the GMT over the ND Sub, and I would have done that deal. As long as you're happy, that's all that counts!

If you like the GMT more than you liked the Sub then yes, without a doubt you made the right move.

But I get the feeling that based on the fact that you've come here to ask the masses, you're not sold on the GMT.

The Sub shows a lot less wear and tear than the GMT does. That would be the only downfall of that trade IMO. In the end if you are happy then that's all that matters.

I have both a SubC and a BLNR. If I had to make a choice I would keep the BLNR and let the Sub go. The Multi timezones are far more important to me than the Sub bezel function, and 100m water resistance is plenty for me. Note that there's alot of "I" and "me" in there though...

But for you, if those same functions are more important than you made the right choice. If you like or need the Sub's functions more then it was the wrong choice... In reality you cant go wrong either way, but the only true real right answer would have been keep the SubC and add the GMT.
