My two cents…
I like the look of the Salmon dial better. However, it comes down to which one you think you will wear more. It sounds like the Evo. I wouldn’t get/keep both. Why? As enthusiasts, we are always looking. So, that allows you to spend money on another watch that is totally different.

Evo vs Classic MB&F
I recently acquired a stunning salmon perpetual MB&F. This is among their classic line of watches, with a more traditional case design. I have recently wondered whether I should trade it for an Evo variant of the watch, mainly for its improved durabil...
Two fast recent moves in a row ???
Perhaps a pause is best? Did the Classic come from a dealer, and if so, have you discussed this with them?
Hmmm... The post says....
"I recently acquired a stunning salmon perpetual MB&F.... I have recently wondered whether I should trade it for an Evo variant of the watch". You do make a good point, how long is one recent to the next recent? Am sure your AD can help. The added waterpr...
Different vibes, different love
but if you think the durability and WR are of your major concern then trade it. In my eyes they are stunning enough for me to have both as a subcollection if I were you .
Honestly, I think it comes down to aesthetics…
Are you really going to swim with the watch on? Otherwise wear long sleeves if it’s raining. I truly love them both, but I think the salmon dial is probably a bit more wearable.. I would consider owning both of them.
But as mentioned below
it's not just water resistance. There is a significant shock absorption mechanism incorporated into the Evo case.
Just to follow up:
I thought about trading my salmon perpetual for the Evo, and I literally got nauseous at the thought of giving up the salmon. That's a pretty clear indication for what I should do!
The green turquoise one is stunning too. I had to look twice to see the more rugged case. I the sporty touch and some water resistance is what you are looking for to
case this exceptional caliber, this model provides it without really loosing anything of the appeal of your current model. Personally it seems even to add some appeal. imho
You know how I feel about this already bro since we already discussed it offline. Many people do not realize it is NOT just about WR since the Evo line also incorporates a much better shock system for sport's or ANY activity...
In the end it is up to you to decide which is best for the usage you anticipate for wearing such a piece. For me and the Sequential Evo, it made more sense to go with the Evo since it is a sport's oriented piece and I use it as such. The Pereptual model i...
I completely agree that the Sequential
is really designed as a sporty watch from ground up. The perpetual can go both ways.
You can’t go wrong in this. However
For me the EVO hands down. Again and again I find myself not really wearing beautiful watches as they tend to be more delicate and no WR for daily usage. That “noise” in my head actually makes wearing “fragile “ watches less enjoyable for me.
Salmon dial looks better
WR is negligible difference to me. Maybe ask MB+F if the shock mechanism helps cut down on accidental service trips? Otherwise not sure how hard you are on these pieces anyways?
Entirely personal choice!
Both are very enticing though. I'd have a hard time choosing!

I own the EVO
in green, and fortunate to own the sequential (in orange) too. They are among the handful of my favorite watches of all times. I will tell you why I got the EVO and why yours might be a better choice from some viewpoints: 1. The EVOs look badass, few watc...
Very thoughtful response!
Thank you! I love hearing how other collectors think about their collections.
Was a pleasure
and I am sorry I couldn't give you any conclusive hint, but as said this is a very personal choice and the good thing is that there is no bad choice!
