By George, I think he’s got it!

I have a Black Bay Blue 58 and a blue dial Aqua Terra, the “Skyfall” reference. Very different watches, glad to have both. The AT hovers between dress watch and sports watch, much like a Datejust. The Black Bay is an old school style dive watch. Good strap options with both. I wear the AT on an Omega dark blue leather strap, with deployment clasp, the Tudor on their blue NATO style strap.

I may go back to the Omega bracelet, and the Tudor “soft touch” fabric strap, but not anytime soon.

Sound logic, and usually the best answer- get both!

Agree with other comments - Omegas feel more luxury to me than Tudors. But it depends what you're after. The BB58 is fun to have and wear.

Man tough comparison because they’re so different. I have the black AT traditional bracelet and love it! Pairing with with Sub 124060 (arriving any day now fingers crossed). So I vote AT. And for what’s as worth as a total newbie I think 90% of Rolex die hards would still say Omega is great watch

Omega gets a lot of love on TRF.

Especially the Speedmaster, Seamaster divers and ATs.

Definitely more than Tudor…

BB58 would be my pick

Given your collection, I'd definitely keep the Omega. It works great on a bracelet, leather, or rubber and is a higher quality watch than Tudor. It's also better for a one and done watch. If you didn't have a diver, I'd probably go for the BB58 but you do so why bother with the Tudor?

I’d keep that omega. Very beautiful watch, I would have one myself but I just don’t care for the clasp they use.

I have owned several BB 58's and they are fine watches. I have never owned the AT but have always liked them and the photograph of yours is especially nice. I know you have already said just add the BB 58 but I might pause and look at other options. I am a huge Seiko fan and the SPB149 is a cool blue option at about $1400 that might just check the blocks that the BB 58 does. It is a retro inspired dive watch on a bracelet and I believe it comes with a strap also. Wears great and will not break the bank. The resale value is also high as it is a LE piece. Just a thought. Good luck.

Keep both. Both are great watches in their own regard.

If you get a 20% discount without tax on the Omega AT it's a better buy than the 58 at retail with tax. I picked up a nice AT 4.5k USD with blue dial. Good luck both nice watches.

[GradyPhilpott]

I'd stick with that Omega AT.

That's almost a no-brainer.

[DoctorA]

I’d choose omega over Tudor. Plus you already have a sub which makes the BB somewhat redundant and inferior to your sub

[3HandsNoDate]

Had both. Loved both. Omega probably slight edge on quality. Tudor a little cooler.

I’d probably take the AT, but just be patient and have both eventually. Trading one for the other will just cost you money anyway.

[stevestil]

Thanks everyone for your help and your opinions.

I’m going to Stick with the AT for now. Went by my AD yesterday and tried on a bb58 (they only had one on a leather strap).

Great watch and I plan on adding it to the collection eventually but I didn’t like it more than my AT

AT is a great watch. I agree… get both :)

I have a Tudor Black Bay and had an Aqua Terra. Sold the Aqua Terra, but would have no issue picking one up again in the future.

If I hadn’t bought the Tudor to commemorate the birth of my second child, and didn’t have her name and birthdate engraved on the case back, I very likely would have sold it already.

Owning Subs and an AT I would keep the AT for its versatility as a daily watch including having a date.
