Should I go for the trifecta????

I'm really digging Tudor these days. I have the Tudor Black Bay Black AND the Blue. I can't decide if I should get the Red too! Since I am drinking Champagne and I'm bored I thought I would ask the good folks here on TRF. Should I go for the Tudor Trifecta???

I would say put the money towards something else to diversify a bit.

Either add the red one or sell one of the ones you have. I'd steer towards the second option, personally.

I got a black, green, and blue Sub so if it were me, I would have to get the Black, Blue, and Red Black Bay. It would be the only way I would be able to sleep at night!

I think the red is the best looking of the three. So if you have blue and black you should get the best one.

They're brilliant! But the only difference is the bezel color ... I'd say pick your favorite of the two you have, flip the other one, and for variety's sake, put the money towards a Rolex or Omega ... a Sub or a Seamaster.

Truthfuly, no. Now, I did just get the 116619 so it gets all of my attention for the time but, I love the green/gold dial of the 116610lv and like the history of the 5512 and my 14060. They are so simple and made for pure function. Just like the Black Bay's. But the Black Bay's have such a "Old School" style the modern references just don't have. Plus, in Three insert options! So, anyway, I just like the damn things and will swap out every day or so. Just get what you like, that's what I do.

I really love the BBR; I'd definitely get that one. It's your choice how you do it.

I love the red but this has to be your call. It might be too much of a similar model but at least the red will help it seem like a different watch.

I'd buy the red, sell the blue, and use the money to put a supercharger on your Camaro.
