Hi everyone! First post I think on the Omega section.

I have a Tudor BB Black ETA which I don't really wear anymore. I like the new Seamaster (grey dial on bracelet) and was thinking of px ing my BB for it. The dealer kindly asked if I was absolutely sure and I should think about it. I know it's a limited run etc but it just sits on my winder and future / residual value is not the be all and end all for me, enjoyment of the watch is. The new Seamaster is very impressive imo.

I don't want to add, just swap one watch for another.

Am I being stupid?

Justinmg · 29 November 2018, 03:48 AM

I don’t think so, both are great watches, but I’d want a watch to wear and enjoy. The new Seamaster is an amazing watch!

Stevec14 · 29 November 2018, 04:04 AM

Go for it. Hopefully the px price of the ETA will mean little cash going towards the new one. Better on your wrist than stuck in a winder.

If you're not enjoying the Tudor, then I can understand swapping it for something you think you will enjoy.

The new Omega looks dynamite, I think.

DonBateman · 29 November 2018, 04:30 AM

I would take the SMP.

AK797 · 29 November 2018, 06:17 AM

I'd be tempted, really like the new grey dial.

Takonwong · 29 November 2018, 07:38 AM

The grey dial looks really nice but I'm waiting to see it in the metal. I tried on the rubber strap but I am not keen on pin and buckle. I'm considering the blue too.

timlaw · 29 November 2018, 09:19 AM

I am keeping my eta black bay for sure - I still wear it a lot and the increased value is a bonus

I had a speedmaster mark II to part ex which will go a long way to pay for my black bracelet 300

but I was in the same place as you with my speedmaster so one in and one out made sense

shame to sell the BB but I would do the swap if I was you with your view of your BB - better to have a watch you want then one you don't no matter how nice it is

Justindo · 29 November 2018, 12:32 PM

The Omega is a much nicer watch.

Your last sentence is accurate.

The first is only half true.

Sell the Tudor.

bdex75 · 29 November 2018, 01:45 PM

I would probably try to sell the Tudor before I traded it. Unless the Omega dealer is willing to step up to the pump.

But I would keep my BBN if it were me.

keep the BB. add the seamaster

Rolex Essex · 29 November 2018, 07:55 PM

I would definitely do it.
No offence to BB ETA owners but it’s a boring looking watch.
The Seamaster 300m is in another league.

Agree. Suspect you won’t top dollar for your watch & May also effect you negotiating a discount on the smp

watchamatic · 8 December 2018, 02:00 PM

I prefer the looks of the TudorBB over the Seamaster so I wouldn’t do it. If it were the Planet Ocean or Speedmaster Moonwatch, then I would surely pull the trigger.

Takonwong · 8 December 2018, 09:50 PM

I had the PO and it sat too high on my wrist and I will be in the minority but the Moonwatch doesn't appeal to me at all, maybe it being a manual wind is a factor.

I was offered £2.5k for my watch for a bracelet model plus a free strap. I said I’ll think about it.

Jakx · 19 December 2018, 08:50 AM

Tough one. I own both (blue dial). Omega SMP is another league but the ETA has appeal. I wouldn't trade it.

Takonwong · 19 December 2018, 09:25 AM

The BB does have it's appeal but I agree, the Omega is altogether on a higher level. I'm edging to no deal though, I've sold or traded before in the past when not sure and each time regretted it. I could wait and get it at a discount down the line but the BB I'm not sure I could get it again especially as I've had this from new.
