Hi Salvatore, welcome here.
A couple of thoughts
From a collecting perspective: If you are so lucky to have a Au CTS you have a keeper. If you let it go, my guess is it’s going to be difficult to find another. The Dubai is an interesting variation of the CS but nothing more than that, in my opinion. It will never be an important watch like the one you have.
From a personal perspective. I find that green difficult to wear. It’s loud and I really don’t like loud watches. That’s just me. Perhaps you are the most flamboyant colorful person and it would be a great match but it shure doesn’t suit everyone. I’ve never owned one but I was present at the launch. I immediately thought that it was not for me.

Warm welcome on WatchProSite!
I’m not a Journe collector, so my answer is of very little importance. The Chronomètre Souverain is a watch I find elegant and would be happy to wear. The Centigraphe, on the other hand, has a very sporty aesthetic which isn’t for me and I find the dial a...
I’m with Christian. But like Miss Piggy, if the heart wants Kermit the frog, the heart wants Kermit the frog.
From a collecting standpoint, and from a Journe historical perspective, the aluminum CTS is far far more important. I don’t know the numbers offhand, but my guess is that there are probably quite a few more of your CTS in existence (relatively speaking, t...
IMHO do NOT trade nor sell the
aluminum Centigraphe! It’s a unique and very rare watch. It will only become more valuable. But money aside, (and that’s not the reason to keep it) I would bet you will tire of the green after the novelty wears off and you have a simple (albeit lovely) tw...
I have seen this watch; if you are from Dubai
then it may make sense, but as most other said; stay with the CTS
