Thanks for all the comments guys. I do LOVE the Snowflake, I think it was just a case of "ooh, something shiny!" that caused me to ask the question.

I guess whenever I get tired of all the oyster bracelets, there's always the leather straps to change things up.

I wonder if the "wimbledon" looks better on steel v. two tone? Otherwise on TT I might prefer the champagne diamond dial. My.02 and yes you have a go from me to sell or trade the Tudors if you want to.

Not particularly keen on snowflake hands. The DJ Wimbledon is a beautiful piece and unique enough but that said, damn, your DD is stunning and I think I would struggle to wear the DJ. So I guess no trade is my answer.

I love my wimbledon a lot. I've had it for a year and it's one of those that keeps getting better. You wont be dissapointed. I'm not the guy to tell you how to get there though. I have a hard time letting go and usually add.

Tough choice but I’d do the trade

This is a scary combination of things because 1.)

I do like variety in my collection), even if they are pretty different.

So, the ask here is do you I get rid of the Snowflake for a Datejust Wimbledon?

Here's the Rolex / Tudor collection again, a pic of my Snowflake and a pic (not mine) of the Wimbledon.

Honestly, your collection is perfect. If I had to sell one, it would be the BB. Though, it would fetch you enough to get you close to your goal to fund the incoming piece.

Skip the Wimbledon. FWIW I think your Tudor Snowflake looks ridiculously cool and it wears nice with other straps.

I would not get rid of any of your current watches. If you could swing it why not add the DJ and see how it sits in the collection and how it works with wear and the other watches. If you got it at a fair price you could then move it if it did not work out without much, if any, loss. Answers your question about the other watches and in the end you can make an informed decision through wear and ownership about what you would like to keep or move. If not, sit tight.
