Decisions, decisions

Can I get some opinions on this and not the bs do what ever you want answers please.

If you have the original Kermit and the Hulk. Do you had the new Cermit but sell one of the others or add and keep them all? Or switch it up and add a classic no date Sub since you have the green Subs?

Also, I have the JC Deepsea, which technically is a Sub on steroids.

The new LV is the best one. I'd honestly sell the kermit and hulk and get the cermit and a black sub date. I don't think the JLC deep sea is a sub on steroids imo. It doesn't even go that deep unless I'm mistaken for a different watch. Nothing beats a sub unless its a sea dweller lol

Whatever you do, try to keep what you have and you won’t eventually have regrets that you let something special get away...

Keep them all. But if I had to choose 2 out of the 3, I would choose the OG Kermit and the Hulk. This way you have a black dial with green bezel and a green dial with green bezel. You have a maxi dial with a 5 digit case and the maxi case. These two watches check a lot of boxes.

I have never flipped a watch but If I understand the question I would:

Not part with my 16610LV, give the Hulk away (way too much green), forget the ‘Cermit’? but add the 124060.

Or

Do whatever you want.

Decisions, decisions

Which one do you like the most out of the 3 green bezel veraions? Would probably only keep whichevers see myself wearing regardless of potential future value.

From the three versions if were to keep just one would be the new 126610LV Cermit, if were to keep 2 would let the Hulk go as never liked its fatter case or green dial tone

I would diversify my collection and have a little different look. Nothing wrong with Submariners and at one point I owned one of each but got bored with that after a short while. I would pick one, the Hulk for me, and then get a SS Daytona, SS GMT or a SS Sky-Dweller or DJ41. Good luck and let us know what you decide.

Buy something other than a rolex maybe?, they all mostly look the same. Buy something that actually shows some individual style and taste and not just what the rolex forums tells you to get or which ever watch your AD allows you to buy. When you end the post with " don't give me the BS about buying what you like" it's hard for me to take you seriously. You're not asking for watch advice, you're asking for investment advice. In which case, buy the one that will be worth the most and stop pretending like the decision is about anything else. Sorry someone has to break up the echo chamber. Good luck with the decision.

Way too redundant.

Get something else. Lets be honest looking at a sub ALL the time gets hell boring. Get a DJ/SkyD/GMT or YM or something.

I would keep all of them. If you’re in the camp of having a small collection then redundant.

I'd add and keep all three. Would be cool to own 3 generations.

I don't have any of these but, if I did possess all three I would try very hard to keep them all, although the watches are Submariner Dates, each is different so you are not replicating.

If you can only keep two, then any combination would be great.

I'm not sure what you are getting at.
I buy what I want to buy and no AD dictates to me what I can buy, except Patek that is(bastards). Besides Rolex and not just Submariners too, I have AP, VC, Omega, IWC and have had Breitling and Panerai as well.

I am also nowhere near asking for investment advice or watch advise. I was asking others opinions on the Submariner, to see what others would do if they had the Subs in question.
