Wow nice snowflake. I understand if it's not seeing wrist time, or if you're just looking to downsize to just something you can wear daily, maybe I could see it on the block.... But I have to agree with most people here... The snowflake looks great and would be much harder to replace.

Agreed, do what you feel is right. I would keep the sub, it is to me a great watch.

But if you think you will rebuy later, then everyone is correct, keep the Tudor. But if you were going to rebuy the sub or the Tudor in the future, I'd keep both.

I have yet to rebuy the same watch. I've gone through 30-40 watches. Many were Rolex. Never re-bought, the same model, when I was done, ready to sell, there was no looking back for me. I have bought back many of the same models, SMP when it went ceramic, subs when they went ceramic, DJs with the newer bracelets, but to me they were different watches.

I'll tell you a couple watches I do miss are my UN MMCs and the Cartier Roadster, but always looking forward and never back.

Follow your gut instinct.

My advise and what I do is to send the least worn and least enjoyed piece to a new owner. The reason I included the least enjoyed, is my 5070 is not worn very much but when I do, it is really enjoyed. My prior Lange was a beautiful piece with a stunning dial, but I just could not bond with it.

I think it was the fact, as many said, I can easily buy a Sub C again, but the SF would be hard to source.

Bah keep whichever you like more...I have had many tudor subs including a minty blue sf...I sold it...it just wasn't that versatile in my opinion. Plus I liked the no date version better. I would keep the sub c...but then again I tire of my watches and sell them.. sub c is the latest flavor for me

Great choice! And if you decide to get the Sub again, they are easily found!
