That is a tough choice

Given that you already got a new cal.100 based Senator moon phase letting go the silver dialled Moon phase seems to be the thing to do. Although it is a an exquisite watch it is clearly second to its successor in direct comparison. (I am not a big fan of having the blank field for the left date digit instead of a 0. It emphasises the fact that the date window is white while the dial is silver in colour.)

I find the grey dialled Moonphase with power reserve quite compelling. The Dial colour is special and the "normal" date puts it into a short "pre Panorama date" era which gives it a certain historic interest. Of course the lack of a panorama date could be the seen as "No go " also. Depends much on personal perspective and preference.

The 1845 Perpetual is very special too. Though dials filled with tiny subdials are not to my personal taste (my eyes are getting worse) it is a great watch. Not a common thing to see an 1845. The biggest asset of this watch is the backside for me. Cal 49 is one of the most beautiful manuals around, if you ask me.

From a functional point of view you already replaced the silver Moon phase by a new one and you are going to replace the PC. This could be taken as a hint to keep the Power reserve.

From a monetary perspective - I understand you are going to let them go because you want to fund the new PC - it could make a difference which ones you sell. Hoping not to walk down this road far enough to be called back by Art I think that the 1845 PC might serve this purpose best.

But in the end it counts which one you really want to keep. Listen carefully to yourself and do what feels best. Just remember that you probably will not be able to get them back once you sold them.

Best regards,
