After much deliberation and losing my ass buying and selling assorted models, here's where we are. Trying to unload the GS so I can be 100% Wilsdorf. At that point I can sit back and relax.

Very nice collection! You have some great pieces there! Your 36mm DJ with the blue fluted motif dial, fluted bezel on Jubilee is one of my favorites. Exact configuration I would choose!

If you notice the time on the watches, the Tudors are current. Those are literally my watches of choice.

That’s an interesting statement. I love my BB58, but not more than my Rolexes. Maybe you should offload the Rolexes, and get more Tudors.

Nice collection OP.

Once the GS goes you’ll have two free spots in the watch box - what’s on your radar?

I was curious of your collection evolution, so I did a little cyber stalking. You’ve been busy.

I have a yearning for an Explorer. Perhaps get my BB58 blue back from my daughter and then we'll be full!

This time of year it's the BB Pro... Summer time it's the Sea Dweller

If the Panda sells I will replace it with a BB58. With the leather strap, it is a GREAT autumn watch.

How do you like your Tudor chrono? Between one of these and a Zenith Chronomaster Sport for a white dial chrono. I love my opaline GMT but I think the Zenith might “call” to me more so I’m curious to hear your thoughts on the Tudor (especially compared to your Daytona). Thanks!!

Get rid of that GS. Lost my ass on my GS watches when I fell out of love with them and sold them. Prepare for a massive loss and never buy GS again.

GS is the most interesting thing in the box IMO. Also love the Tudor Chrono.

I actually gravitate toward the Tudor because of the opaline dial. I also love the twin black subdials. I really only wear the Daytona when I dress up. The polished center links go well with a suit. While the size of the Tudor Chrono does not bother me, I would prefer it just a smidge smaller.

Out with the GS! Never look back.
Stick with Rolex. Maybe something on oysterflex?

Ps I agree the BB58 is a great choice

How do u find winding the Tudor bb Chronograph?
Mine is really tough to wind compared to a Rolex wind.
I sent it back to Tudor be looked at under warranty and it's just come back the same!!!

Apparently, nothing. It was good enough to buy 3 times. It's the bath you take when you go to sell it.
