Current Tudor Collection

I currently have 17 Tudor watches. I had them in several different locations and did not realize the collection had crept up like this. I am in and out of various watches every day but even to a huge fan like myself the 17 number seems a little much. I will probably trim this down over the next few months with the magic number in my head right now as 5-7. Till then, I am just going to roll with it.

Seems like your Tudor AD has you on speed dial.

Wow William, that is a shi* ton of watches …. And you have other brands on top of Tudor…

I’m not gonna lie, that’d make my head pop off

Good for you and I wish you well on thinning the herd

Yep, sometimes those open spaces can be an issue.

But nice collection as it is, holy moly. You’re quite the Tudor fan, sir.

Wow! That’s a lot of Tudor. There are a couple I keep looking at and hesitating on.

Out of interest (seeing as you own everything!), if you were to narrow it down to 1 modern Tudor model, which would you keep? ie which is your favourite?

keep fxd, panda, harrods. The rest I can see Tudor doing what they do and coming out with the same version but in their new case size, plus other incremental updates along the way.

Dream collection!

I say you should fill that box! Empty slots are fewer.

Man, nice collection. I've seen AD displays with much less inventory!

I really love the blue Heritage Chrono!

Out of curiosity, which color dial of BBGMT do you prefer? If you had to keep one..
I've been thinking about the white (opaline) dial myself.

Strongly confident he will have the new BB on Jubilee by the time this thread hits page two!

Wow, nice Tudor collection. If you're going to whittle it down, I'd keep the following:

1. One "regular" sized Pelagos (probably LHD)
2. Pelagos FXD
3. One BB58 (probably original black)
4. Harrods
5. One chrono
6. One GMT (probably opaline dial)

If you decide you want more Tudors after the cull, consider going vintage/neo-vintage. Best wishes

Thanks for the nice comments. If I had to keep just a few it would be the BB GMT black dial and one of the Pelagos watches. I have let the Tudor collection creep up before to about 10-11 watches but never like this. I also have 14 Rolex watches and a boat load of Seiko's/Tissot/Hamilton and a few Omega and Breitling watches. I will be thinking on what I really want and will start a consolidation as soon as I figure it out.
