So this is my humble 3-watch collection: SPB143, Prx 35 and Smiths Everest (and actually skx009 as well). I feel these fit all the needs I have at the moment and I really like the watches.

However, when I tried on the Tudor BB54 in april I signed up on the waitlist to buy it because I thought "This is it" and it is now waiting at the AD for me. For money reasons, I can't really justify to keep my current collection as well. And a BB54 would probably neglect the need for the Spb and everest as they more or less fill the same function. For a long term GADA, I see myself owning either a Explorer 1 or a BB54, being a fan of the smaller format.

Now that I have the opportunity to buy the BB54 I am a bit torn on what to do as I quite enjoy my current collection...

I therefore seek your advice: Would you keep this collection or would you sell it off and add a chunk of money to get the BB54?

Keep what you have and when you're financially ready then you ADD to your collection

You may want to check out r/watchexchange they usually have some great deals on very nice watches

The bb is a beautiful watch, I can't even think of a negative thing to say however I think finding a watch at a yard sale or something is best. It'd be a cool story and unless it's up against your grail I think finding a watch is the way to go

You said you like a little smaller so check out some Breitling models, they have a line which has a very similar look to the bb
