Which Tudor should go....

I recently picked up a Tudor GMT on fabric strap and loving it so far. As a result, one or both of my other black bays must go. The only consideration for keeping the BB steel would be for the SS bracelet. However, I typically don’t wear my BB’s on steel. I prefer to wear my other Non-Tudor watches in SS bracelets. Leaning toward keeping the BB black or getting rid of both the BB steel and black for possible BB 58. Any comments?

If it were me- I'd get rid of the 2 others and get a BB58(or BB ETA).

I think the GMT with a BB58 would be a terrific combination.

I think the M79730 (Steel) is the most redundant now. Keeping the M79230N (Black) means you have a time only, with gilt dial and hands to go with your new GMT.

Nice collection, BTW!

Agree. I will probably hold on to the BB black until I can get a hold of the BB 58. As a side note, anyone think the BB 58 will have impact on the the resale value of the current in house 41 mm BB black?

Let the steel go. Check out a 58 when they become available. If you like, take advantage of the high resale on the BBN eta. 58 and gmt would make a killer pair.

Before I even read it in your post, I had the thought of getting rid of both and getting a BB58! Since the GMT is the same size as your current BB, it might be nice to have the BB58 since its a different size.

I wonder if there is enough room to put a date movement in the BB58 case. Does anyone know?

I'd probably let go of the BB's, check out the 58 and if you don't like it pick up a BB eta
