Horological Meandering

I generally keep only one metal bracelet sport watch that I wear when the situation requires it (e.g., the weather is hot and steamy; I'm roughing it outdoors; I'm likely to be exposed to moisture; etc.) or I have a whim to do so.  In the past, watches from Ebel, Benz, Omega, Ball and G.O. have filled this niche; my current steel bracelet sport watch is a UTS 1000m v2 GMT:

I love this watch and think I would die happy if the UTS were to be the end of this part of my personal horological journey,,,,(I'm generally moving toward more classic, dress-oriented designs).  Nevertheless, you'll notice that two beloved sport/diving watch brands (Rolex and Grand Seiko) are not among those I've owned...which brings me to my question: 

Should I (would you) trade this piece for either a new Rolex Submariner or a Seiko Spring Drive diver and if so, which?

Thanks

I've had my sub for almost 20 years and it has always come through every situation with flying colors.

It is in actually very goos shap and I tend to treat it less like a work horse.

Until you have worn one, you won't know what it is like.

I also think that it goes very well with a suit. Even more dress like is the Milgauss.

...is pretty much a classic in the sports watch genre.  I like Seiko dive watches a lot, but if you're talking about picking up a timeless piece I'd vote for the Sub.  Time has proven the design to be evergreen and the bevy of vintage Subs that are for sale and still ticking after 20, 30, 40 years is evidence that the watches are robust.

I would go on a modern Rolex Submariner.

Ok, the watch is seen again and again, on a lot of wrists, but there may be a reason... Don't you think?

Ok, now which Sub?

With or without date?

As we're speaking about Modern Subs, a 16610 ( Date ), or 14060 ( without date ) are the ones.

The latest?

A bit too bulky for me, but why not?

If you want to have a Vintage feel on a modern Sub, the 14060 and the 16 610 can be found  in the " tritium years ), till 1997, without compromising  the funcitonality of the watch.

Best,

Nicolas

The rolex! It is a common watch but you can't say it's not beautiful and it's going to last you a long time plus it won't go out of style . That was easy!

That says it all ... for me.

This UTS is something unique to you . Rolex subs will always be out there and GS Divers might be...based on your quote (per RJW's post), I can't any reason to change.

Plus I really like that UTS, too big for my wrist, but impressive.
