So the two watches I have in my collection are a Tudor Sub and 36mm explorer. I find that having two black watches to be a tad redundant. So my question is do I liquidate both towards a Sub C or trade the Tudor Sub for a blue black bay? Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

Classic Sub C. It's timeless :)

Keep what you already have and save up for your next watch!!!

tphan619 · 11 May 2016, 10:32 AM

G8RDPM · 11 May 2016, 11:29 AM

Keep the Tudor Sub or both!
They aren't making those anymore!

HogwldFLTR · 11 May 2016, 11:32 AM

Add don't sell unless it's to get rid of something that doesn't work for you.

AK797 · 11 May 2016, 10:39 PM

Go for the Subc.

yannis · 11 May 2016, 10:42 PM

I would go for the SubC too. Or a SD4Kc for the more balanced and rounded looks! :)

Trade for subC

ajg223 · 11 May 2016, 11:29 PM

Thanks for all the replies. I was finding that I was forcing myself to wear the explorer and decided to trade them both for Sub C. Not sure if it was a great deal or not as its watch only, but after shopping the two watches around a little selling them for cash and then buying the sub wasn't going to happen. I know I should have saved for a complete set, but who has time for that? Plus it took me forever to find the set that went with my explorer so whats the point? I don't like the watch anymore when I have the papers and box sitting in the closet.

doubleinfive · 12 May 2016, 07:45 AM

Having two watches is redundant...

DaveDhc · 12 May 2016, 07:56 AM

Keeping both and saving for the next is the safe route.

How about being daring and get something exciting ... the new Air King.

The Air King is roughly a Milgauss with a different dial, hands and crystal, but basically the same watch.

Likewise the Explorer is just a 39mm Oyster Perpetual with again, a different dial and hands.

The new Air King doesn't really map to anything in the past even though the name has been reused for this brand new watch. I think it would be an exciting option.

The Air King is also interesting in that it immediately has roots in the Bloodhound UK project and so it is associated with motor sports at birth ... not aviation.

Keep the explorer

speedolex · 12 May 2016, 09:07 AM

When I was younger I would always sell the old watches I had to afford the new watch I wanted. Two reasons. First, I had other financial priorities. Second, I found that once I considered selling a watch it meant that deep down I really didn't love it. Then later in life when finances no longer mattered I bought back only the ones that I truly missed.

Oh, and once you get all that attention from a big, shiny Rolex like the Sub you'll never step-down into a Tudor ever again. Audi guys never drive Wolkwagen's, it's just how it is.

landroverking · 12 May 2016, 09:16 AM

Getting rid of two great watches, for a so called classic Sub "C"
There is nothing classic about a subc!!!

Daytona88 · 12 May 2016, 09:39 AM

I would do that, as long as the ex I is not your first Rolex. Never sell your first!!!

watchwatcher · 12 May 2016, 09:53 AM

I probably would go for the sub.

Joemck · 12 May 2016, 11:10 AM

The subc is a great watch. I wear the heck out of mine and find the glidelock indispensable.
Enjoy & don't look back.

joe100 · 12 May 2016, 11:42 AM

Sell the Tudor and keep the Explorer. It's all you need!

Ritch99 · 12 May 2016, 02:17 PM

Absolutely, go Sub C Date. You won't regret it.

So how do you like the SubC? Let's see a pic, let's hear your first impressions.

ronin_ph · 12 May 2016, 03:21 PM

I vote Pepsi if you really want a palette change.

I also found myself with many similar, black watches, including sub, sub ND, black bay black, black bay blue.

Word of caution, the black bay blue looks black in many environments.

Edit: read he rest of thread. Sorry. Good choice. I also went with a hulk.
