I can tell everyone this, undoing a collection is tougher than it sounds. Justification is a mischievous pal.

Congrats! I made the same choice a few months ago and moved a couple of pieces to purchase the Cellini Moonphase as well.

Wow, I Was facing a similar dilemma in trading a 114060 and BLNR for a Moonphase but couldn’t make a decision. I decided I was going to wait a while and now I read this post and makes me want to go ahead do it.....

Beautiful piece

Congratulations on a beautiful watch.

I’m curious....does your BB Chrono get any wrist time, or will it be going?

Right now the only Tudor that is for sure staying is the blue Pelagos. I don't wear the BB Chrono that much. Which is too bad, it really is a very nice watch.

I agree - good trade. You appear to have quite small wrists. As I see things, the SD43 is not a good match for small wrists.

Enjoy your new acquisition!!

I actually have 7 3/8 wrist, which is not tiny, but they have an odd form (I guess), go figure. I was a bit apprehensive of the 39, but it works fairly well in this case.

Congrats! Important thing is that it sings to you when you wear it. If it does not then time to let go. Anyways you will not be loosing money anyways. Cheers!
