Funny how things can influence you...

Posted a pic of my Rolex / Tudor collection earlier while also searching for the right Rolex for my brother at the same time.

This is a scary combination of things because 1.) I've never been fond of the Datejust Wimbledon until I found it for him via the pic below and 2.) the picture I took of my collection makes me think that 3 sport models on oyster are too much for me (Possibly!! I do like variety in my collection), even if they are pretty different.

So, the ask here is do you I get rid of the Snowflake for a Datejust Wimbledon?

Here's the Rolex / Tudor collection again, a pic of my Snowflake and a pic (not mine) of the Wimbledon.

But JP... they’re all sports watches

SearChart · 21 February 2020, 06:19 AM

No I would not. I think the snowflake is super cool. Your collection is well balanced and I wouldn't change a thing.

garbanzo · 21 February 2020, 06:19 AM

No I would not.
Tudor sub is much more special as it is not being manufactured any longer (if it is a thing of any importance)

I think I just stepped into some bizarre parallel universe.

If I back out of this thread, hopefully things will be normal.

Nope, I wouldn't make that mistake... I mean trade.

Good luck!

JBowen2 · 21 February 2020, 06:30 AM

I would not move anything in your current collection to get the datejust, even though Wimbledon datejust is beautiful.

TurboTim14 · 21 February 2020, 06:34 AM

No I would not make that trade. As others have said your collection is near perfect as is IMO.

42itus · 21 February 2020, 06:34 AM

No way. That snowflake is very nice. The DJ would hardly get wrist time over the DD in my opinion.

I wouldn't do that. The Tudor is an awesome watch.

samson66 · 21 February 2020, 06:38 AM

I would lose the black bay before the snowflake

IndianRider · 21 February 2020, 06:39 AM

Go for it. The Wimbledon looks great.

This all day long. That Snowflake is special.

SN13 · 21 February 2020, 06:51 AM

I'd dump the blackbay first. So chunky.

Silver_Fox · 21 February 2020, 07:08 AM

Nice collection! Keep as is

I would trade if it was me. I like the DJ wimbledon dial on jubilee way more.

franktehtank · 21 February 2020, 07:19 AM

Tudor for a Rolex? Yup, I'd do that trade.

Jackie Daytona · 21 February 2020, 07:30 AM

I would do it. Mix it up a bit from sports models.

The Tudor Sub is an excellent watch and as stated before not in production so I would keep it and not make the trade.

AJL1031 · 21 February 2020, 07:36 AM

brandrea · 21 February 2020, 07:36 AM

I honestly think you'd be right back in the same situation ... the DJ would feel redundant vs the DD IMO.

I love the snowflake. If anything I'd maybe move the 58

trippinjimmy · 21 February 2020, 07:40 AM

I'll bite...you do have quite a few sports models, and you seem to like to match your outfits to the watch if my impressions are correct.

You have a dressier piece in the DD...but it's rose/brown, which I think might limit where/what you'd wear it with. The neutral wimbledon might add some variety in a dressier sports watch piece, one where the snowflake/pepsi, to me anyway, might seem redundant.

Does that make sense? I'd entertain the idea.

samuel019 · 21 February 2020, 07:40 AM

If you didnt already have your RG DD, which is absolutely beautiful by the way, I would say yes being you have the Hulk. However since you do I would say absolutely not. I think of the Wimbledon DJ as a somewhat dress watch and you already have that category annihilated with the DD.

RTG · 21 February 2020, 07:43 AM

Personally no. I get the Oyster overload. But I wouldn't wear the DJ if I had that day-date.

stratguy · 21 February 2020, 07:57 AM

Keep the Snowflake, get rid of the Black Bay and get the DJ.

Are you kidding?

NO WAY

Pw92676 · 21 February 2020, 08:20 AM

I would. Personal preference.

cda555 · 21 February 2020, 08:33 AM

I would. But I am a huge fan of the DJ Wimbledon and not a fan of the snowflake.
