Tudor BB GMT or Explorer 2 42mm?

I am once again thinking about getting rid of the Tudor GMT in favor of the 42mm Explorer. Anybody owned both and then let one go? If so, what was the reason that tipped you in favor of your decision? I could merely add the Exp. 2 but I am trying to keep my collection to a reasonable number and don't want to merely add another GMT watch.

Not owned both, but currently have the 216570...If the BB GMT had been available at the time though, I think I'd have got that instead... same functionality plus the rotating bezel and I think it's one of the best looking watches from either Rolex or Tudor....

A rotating bezel is a must for me.

Have both, wear the GMT much more frequently. Not sure if this is a value thing and I worry less with the BB GMT on my wrist.

It's a great watch in its own right but not in the same league in terms of build and finishing as a Rolex, if I had to sell one, strangely it would be the GMT, possibly as I now have the Rolex Pepsi and this was always a fill in.
