Advice - subc, gmt and old breitling

[SevenBelow]

Hello all - I have owned my first rolex (new subc date) for 4 months and am a big traveler so i also have had my eye on a gmt. Watches very similar as has been discussed here at length. I originally made that call due to brushed bracelet and glide lock (thought all black bezel a bit busy too).

Anyway - my old watch is a breitling avenger chrono - blue face Arabic numbers with a shiny stainless bracelet and i also bought a breitling rubber strap with deployant polished clasp. I will likely not wear it again al though I used to love it before i got the gorgeous rolex.

I’m thinking about selling the breitling and picking up a used gmt ii c with black bezel and likely wearing that one much more often but on the sub bracelet. I assume a decent price on the gmt black ceramic could be found especially for one that has a less than mint bracelet (which i wont use ever). I am worried there is no market for the breitling.

What’s the best way for me to accomplish that swap? I think I keep both the subc watch ad the gmt pcl bracelet. Or wear the sub on the black leather strap i bought from Everest.

Anything else i should consider? Thanks so much.

PS I figured you’ve seen enough subc dates on enough hairy arms to spare you all.

Or maybe just take a look at the EXP2?

I'm sure many dealers in NY will take the Avenger. Check out chrono24 so you know market rates, but yes you will take a large hit.

Breitling will be hard to move right now unless you give it away..
