Should I trade my PAM for a SubC?

[thewatching]

I've been progressively moving up the food chain since getting bit by the watch bug and recently purchased a PAM 510 from my local AD. It was my first luxury piece and certainly the most expensive to-date. I've never owned a Rolex and at the time I picked up the PAM I was considering either it or the SubC date, ultimately going with the PAM as it had been a desire for a long while and at the time felt the look better fit my style (I've always considered myself more on the raw/edgy side as opposed to reserved/classy).

Fast forward a few months and now the Sub is keeping me up at night–something about it's timeless appeal. I also struggle with strap fit throughout the day and love the idea of the glide-lock clasp. Ugh. Im also romanticized by and very seriously considering going down the 1-watch road, mostly because I'm growing tired of the dissonance I feel when choosing which to wear each morning. Im not sure I could do it with the PAM as it lacks a date and isn't as versatile imo. I'm very close to trading it in + cash to acquire a new Sub, taking a decent hit on the PAM, and I can't justify financially having both. While I don't buy watches as an investment, something tells me the Sub will treat me kinder in this regard and will end up something I'm more likely to pass on some day.

Realizing this is a Rolex forum, should I do it? Also, for folks that work on a computer all day, does the glide-lock clasp thickness bother your wrist while typing for long periods? I have some thick straps for my PAM that can get painful over time.
