difficult decision to make

I caveat this post by saying I hope I won't need to sell either of my watches, but if I have to sell one which should go; a Tudor Big-Block, or Great White 1665, both full sets and great condition.
1665 will sell quickly and easily and I will have extra funds, the Big-Block may take longer and would cover what I need. In the future neither would be easy to find in the sets and condition I have currently, particularly the 1665, which I believe to be unpolished.
So, which would you say goodbye to if you had to let one go?

If I had those two watches I would call it a day, collection complete, move on to other hobbies... :)

This post of course does not in any way help with your decision, lol.

Hard not to keep a 1665! I think either would make a great only piece until you add again though so if you have good use for the funds sell the great white.

I'd keep the Great White without question. That's an all-timer there, the only watch you need.

I'm a big fan of the Sea Dweller, so it'd be a no brainer for me.

Tudor would be the one to go

thanks for your help guys. SD wins, but as I said, I think both are going to be staying.....and no, the wife's mini-sub is not in the equation!
