So this is my humble 3-watch collection: SPB143, Prx 35 and Smiths Everest (and actually skx009 as well). I feel these fit all the needs I have at the moment and I really like the watches.

However, when I tried on the Tudor BB54 in april I signed up on the waitlist to buy it because I thought “This is it” and it is now waiting at the AD for me. For money reasons, I can’t really justify to keep my current collection as well. And a BB54 would probably neglect the need for the Spb and everest as they more or less fill the same function. For a long term GADA, I see myself owning either a Explorer 1 or a BB54, being a fan of the smaller format.

Now that I have the opportunity to buy the BB54 I am a bit torn on what to do as I quite enjoy my current collection…

I therefore seek your advice: Would you keep this collection or would you sell it off and add a chunk of money to get the BB54?

    I like that your collection includes three nice, very different watches; IMO too many collections on here are just boxes of the same or very similar expensive, interchangeable watches.

    I can’t stand the hour hand on the BB54. And the bracelet end link brushing doesn’t blend well with the lugs. It also doesn’t have a date complication so doesn’t succeed as a GADA.

    You will take a hit on atleast the Tissot and the Smiths. Don’t know how the market is for the seiko. But the BB54 is the perfect GADA watch

    Having almost sold my whole collection to help fund a Pelagos 39 I would say no. Variety is the spice of life.

    Man I love a Seiko diver but I’d also be quite happy with a BB54 as a one watch collection

    It seems you might be short on money, so probably you should think of postponing the purchase of an expensive watch?
