I'd say a Pelagos (any variant) to have an out-and-out diver from Tudor--which I think is a necessity if you're going to collect/tudor. I know your silver BB58 is a diver on paper, but that silver case makes it a GADA style watch.
That's a great idea and I've done that as much as possible (including as groomsmen gifts). But some pieces are above the financial threshold where I'd want to gift them (unless it's for a special occasion).
I don't have either but have experience with both. I also love both brands and have them in my collection (in equal amounts), so no bias either way. With that said, the Railmaster and it's not even close. Fit, finish, history, movement, and design are all better with the Railmaster in my opinion. Also, you can pick them up, brand new, for an absolute steal on the secondary market.
Very interesting. I've been through the same analysis and reached the same conclusions. Separately, I'll add that I found wearing a watch for a longer period of time allows me to appreciate that watch more. If I rotate every day, the jarring difference between watches makes the "new" watch seem less appealing until I get used to it after a few days. Then, I appreciate the little details about it. It's great.
Back to your point, given I reached the same conclusion, I want to sell some of my watches. My issue though is that so many of my watches are sentimental: gifted to me, bought for a special occasion, built special memories with it; etc. I'm really struggling with letting go of those watches...but they constitute probably 70% of my collection of 60 or so watches. Of the remaining 30%, I love 20% of them, wear them, and don't want to sell them. So, I can sell 10% of my watches and plan to; but I'd like to cut my collection in half but can't seem to.
