Speedmaster or Chronomat GMT or Black Bay GMT

Hi all,

Considering selling my Speedmaster Hesalite for either a:

- Breitling Chronomat 40 (green dial)
-Tudor BB GMT (black dial)

For background, here’s what’s in my collection:

- Rolex OP39 - white dial
-omega Seamaster blue dial / ceramic bezel
-patek calatrava 5196j
-Montblanc Geosphere - Bronze case

Reason I’m considering the switch is I want a watch with a date function (ideally day too) that’s water resistance to potentially replace the Speedy.

Thoughts? Or other options?

I have owned many Speedy's and while I have always been willing to move one along they always find a way back into the collection. The Tudor BB GMT would be my choice over the Breitling. I own one and wear it on the bracelet, leather straps and NATO's. Very versatile and has a retro charm for me. Check the pre-owned market and find one at a great price because they are there and keep the Speedmaster. Good luck and let us know what you decide.

Thanks for the input. I do really like the Speedy. Your GMT looks great.

The Speedy is a classic but my favorite is the BB GMT. And as William has shown it looks great strapped to anything.
