Should I buy this or quartz seamaster?

They're very different pieces...

They're very different pieces...

Because I was thinking about the opportunity cost. Like now is bear market. Would it be better to cash in when stock market crash and earn that’s extra 1/2K cash.

On the other end,when will I wait for another watch with box and papers in the market.

If it is the quartz seamaster, honestly, it's not a very high quantum. Even if it varies say, 30%, that's still less than $1K? $1K is quite easy to earn back after all, and watch collecting is a little emotional.

If you like it just go for it, don't think too much. Most watch purchases will not change the destiny of your life unlike say, house. Unless you buy 200 pieces, or extremely high end pieces..

True lah! I’m afraid this will be an excuse I give myself every time I want to buy something. Lol

I will probably soon have to contribute my eldershield soon!

Any first love and any chance to try both on wrist?

Subjective but I feel Tudor gives a mature guy vibe so my pick would be the GS with beautiful sweeping hands.

GS for me. That tudor is so uncle... 2 tone bracelet and 2 tone bezel... So messy. But ultimately it's your choice

GS sports watches if I'm not mistaken are pretty thick, better read up on the specs 1st
Anything above 12-13mm is too thick for me

Edit: that one from your picture is sbge277g right? specs say it's 14.7mm
And it's the spring drive that still has the power reserve on the dial, the newer generation of spring drive watches are better imo, don't show the power reserve if i remember correctly

Tudor BB GMT for me. Looks classy got the vintage vibe.

I have a quartz Tuna which somehow i think it fits on my small 16.5cm wrist, so I think the GS should be fine.

I too have a seamaster 41mm, think it is comparable with Todor GMT size.

I know the 2 tone Gmt looks uncle, but somehow it grows on me the more i see it.. maybe im getting older that's why.. lol

GS is always a holy grail to me (am a Seiko guy) , wanted the SBGE275 but way out of my budget, hence maybe will settle for SBGE275.

Dilemma dilemma..
