Black Bay Pro & Tank Trade For White Speedy

The new white dial speedy has me feeling feelings. Do I consolidate and trade on the pro and tank to fund the speedy? Current collection: Blue Omega SMP300M Green IWC Pilot's Chronograph 41 Tudor Blac...

I actually love both the pro and the tank a lot. Absolutely amazing watches. And I've built some great memories with them. But I also look at them from an objective view too in terms of brand, originality, function, etc.

I'd have to add money. I don't think the pro and tank would add up to 8.1k. These trade ins would hopefully fetch between 6-7K combined based on quality

No way. The DJ is the king and stays. I'd only be willing to trade in the pro and the tank. The pro is great and I love it but I know it's an homage. And the tank is awesome and I love it too but I recognize it as the budget friendly tank in steel and quartz. Thus my logic for willing to let them go if it gets me a higher brand/icon like a white dial speedy or another rolex.

I also made a weekly watch rotation list when I started building my collection, and had it set up even before i had some pieces which I knew i was going to get.

I since moved away from it so I can switch up throughout the week, but the list went like this:

Monday - Blue Omega SMP300M Diver - diving back into the work week; blue watch Monday.

Tuesday - Green IWC Pilot's Chronograph 41 - taking flight on a tuesday; don't have a speedy but this is a solid substitute.

Wednesday - Tudor Black Bay Pro - exploring mid week and getting over hump day

Agenda Free Thursday - Gshock, Brew, etc - almost end of work week

Friday - Grand Seiko SBGW287 - getting dressy for Shabbos

Saturday - Cartier Tank Must Large - perfect Shabbos watch

Sunday - Rolex DJ36. The King for the weekend.

However I built this list before I had the datejust. Once I got the DJ I then became too obsessed with it and wear it every night and on Saturdays, Sundays, and days off/holidays. The Agenda free Thursday also stopped.

So I wear the omega, iwc, tudor, GS, and Cartier during the week (mon-fri) and DJ at night and on the weekends. Makes perfect use of the 6 "luxury" watch collection.

I sprinkle the gshock and brew in from time to time during the week too.
