However, it's worth considering the sentimental value and versatility of your current collection. The Explorer and the Speedmaster 3861 Hesalite are both iconic pieces in their own right, and if you enjoy wearing them, it might be worth holding onto them.

Adding a new white dial Speedmaster to your collection while keeping both your current Speedmaster and the Explorer could give you more variety and versatility in your watch rotation. Plus, it's always nice to have options for different occasions or moods.

Ultimately, it comes down to your personal preferences and priorities. If the Ed White 321 is truly a grail piece for you and you're willing to make some sacrifices to acquire it, then it might be worth selling off part of your collection. However, if you're hesitant about parting ways with your current watches or if having a diverse collection is important to you, then perhaps holding off on the Ed White for now and sticking with your current collection might be the better choice.

Take some time to weigh your options and consider what will bring you the most satisfaction in the long run. Whatever decision you make, make sure it's one that you won't regret later on.

Best of luck with your decision, and I hope you end up with a collection that brings you joy and satisfaction!
