what to flip to fund a new DJ 41mm

I'm unsure what I should do? I really like the new DJ 126334 on the Jubilee bracelet and have two watches I could possibly part with to fund this purchase. Tudor Heriatge 70330N bought new, full box tags papers great daily wear and such a functional watch-chromo and GMT. Or I have my 1675 Root Beer on a nipple dial with TT 14k Oyster bracelet. It is in great condition and would be a daily wear if was a bit more water proof. So what to do? which watch do I flip? or should I just bite the bullet and keep them both and buy the DJ?

I'd sell the Tudor over the Rootbeer if you have to sell one.

That is a point. A good point. I contacted Rolex and Australia won't see the DJ for a few months.

Bite the bullet you have some time. Is there a reason why the root beer cannot be serviced with new seals and pressure checked to be waterproof?

It has been serviced and pressure checked. My AD said the a new tube would come with an 18k crown. I want it to stay mint 14k. I was told it was fine to wear in the rain but avoid swimming.

Sell a kidney

Seriously, only you can know, but adding it seems sensible and you have time

Yeah, you don't need to sell your watch in order to get the new Rolex immediately, you can keep your pieces and wait for the best offer during this year, it's just started, so you have plenty of time!
