Someone please talk some sense into me!
Hey all,
I promised myself I'd sell one of these two watches after a recent acquisition. The choices are a newer Breitling Avenger Seawolf Code Yellow (1 of 1000 pieces) or an all original '68 Tudor Sub 7016/0. I'd be getting roughly the same value for each watch... and I love both. Now before we all say, "duh no brainer this is TRF keep the Tudor," let me just say that the Tudor could use a servicing and because its so old I don't wear it as much. The Breitling gets more wrist time and I dont worry about it as much because its rugged as hell with the DLC coating. Plus the other reason for keeping the Breitling would be that its very different than my other watches (16800 sub and '68 speedmaster transitional)... so it might be nice to keep to switch things up. Anyway, I have a potential buyer lined up for the Breitling but I'm sure I could sell the Tudor equally as easy. At first it seemed like a no brainer but now I'm starting to second guess and am thinking maybe I should sell the Tudor instead. What would you sell and why?! I'm torn as heck right now! Please help!!!! I could use some sound advice. ![]()

Sell the Tudor. You have a 16800 and clearly value diversity in your collection. Good luck.

Ugh, this kills me cause I traded my 7928 (only it was not as clean as your Tudor) for my 16613 today. However, I never really was enjoying the old Tudor due to fears of damaging it, or getting it wet etc. I say it depends of if you enjoy being casual with wearing your Tudor regularly, hold onto it. Unless you are able to thoroughly enjoy a production watch, it makes no sense to me any longer to horde them when eventually another in even equal or better condition can be found. Good luck)))

From the looks, sell the Tudor. It has a normal Sub.'s look. Your can easily get this look elsewhere. Breitling on the other hands are cool looking.

Get the Tudor serviced and it will get more wrist time.

Not much a fan of the Breitling however that blue dial looks great and as others have said you are diversified. Good luck.

The breitling is a nice piece but the tudor imho is beautiful, vintage & a keeper.
Best course of action here is to break your promise to yourself, for now, keep both of them...you deserve it! Ps spring for the tudor service, get a warranty, wear it for a while & if you then decide to sell, with the warranty/service papers you will recoup the service cost.

Do you need the money?
If not, then the best sense would be to keep em both and get the Tudor serviced, if possible. Otherwise....be pragmatic and keep the Breitling. |

I would sell the Tudor. You said it yourself, it doesn't get a lot of wrist time and you already have a sub.

A hard decision but if the Tudor is not getting enough wrist time....then.... but a true watch lover would love to collect such timepiece.....sorry, I don't know the answer!

Well folks, I sold the Tudor! I admit, there are moments of extreme regret! But they are fleeting. The Breitling is certainly a nice watch to own and does really diversify the collection of brushed SS watches. I do miss the Tudor though at times... DAMN!

Youve done the right thing, Greg, that DLC blacksteel is rather unique.
