If there’s a way to trade sub + cash, I’d definitely go that route first.

This is exactly what I was going to suggest. Keep the gmt and do sub+ cash.

Is this to a secondary market dealer or AD?

I’d think you could sell the sub for $20k then put up another $8-9k for the Daytona. They can be had at a slight discount. I recently paid $28,575 out the door including tax.

I would sell the Hulk's hype, build on the Batman and add the Daytona if finances allow.

I'd rather have two modern ss models then one pm on OF. Being it the two models you have, makes the choice even easier.
But... If you don't wear the Sub LV too much, perhaps the best advise ia allready been given, keep the BLNR and sell the LV and add cash for the Daytona OF.

Soooo, I did it, BUT

Minor plot twist, I went white gold and OH MY GOD, this watch is amazing, incredible step up from the other two watches.

So here's my "reasoning" behind it, Italy is facing the second virus wave and things aren't looking too bring for the winter, businesses close early, gyms are now closed, and we have curfew so it's gonna be a very depressing winter and I can't see things getting back to normal any time soon.

All of this made me realise, the little time we have to enjoy things and never really know what the future holds, I had a GREAT run with my batman, I really did, it has been with me on many flights, and gigs, I wrote some good records with it in the studio, I enjoyed every little bit of that watch, and in a way the same I can say about the hulk altho it was mostly a safe queen.

But I felt like it was time to make room for something else, and have something to be excited for since there might not be much to be excited about for a while.

Sorry for the overly romantic explanation here but I feel like it was crucial on this decision, and I'm glad to say, I don't regret this one bit (I do miss the date complication tho).

I really feel like I stepped up a notch with this one, and trust me, holding this watch gives you a completely different feeling than holding a hulk or a batman, I'm sure those who experienced it, can relate.

This is it, thanks everyone who dropped his suggestion and opinion

Now, here's a shot of this stunner!

Well done and yes you made the right choice.

That model you chose is probably the best if not the best Model Daytona there is. I love that slate gray panda dial combo.

Great choice congrats. If you change your mind you can sell that and get your hulk and batman back.
