If we're talking money, and we are, I would sell the Pepsi first. It makes the most financial since. In today's market you will get the best rate of return compared to the others.

This is about money in your pocket nothing else.

It'll be easier to get the OP back when you're in a better financial situation and if you really miss it. Keep the Milgauss.

The resale value on both those watches are higher now than they have ever been. Sell them BOTH and don't look back. They're just watches.

I’d keep the Milgauss. More unique and overall good looks.

I’d keep both as long as yoi can. If you have to part with one, I’d conjecture that OP is going for relatively high now and Milgauss may fetch more if it gets the dreaded d word next year.

I would dump the milgauss and keep the OP. Just me, like the symmetry and versatility of the OP. Never liked the Milgauss looks or the second hand. As for the technical aspect of the Milgauss it has been surpassed by a hundred miles by Omega in magnetic resistance.

Millgauss 100%

Sell the OP it's very easy to replace if and when the MG gets discontinued down the line you might find it hard and a lot more expensive to replace. (the cheapest OP39 in black on chrono24 seems to be around 6750, 8600 if it's a 41 (5600 retail). But the blue MG 10,250 - guess it depends how much money you need).

good luck, love the ink

If you still have the Explorer, part with the OP. If you don’t have the Explorer, part with the Milgauss. Best wishes

I agree, hands down without a thought, bye bye OP. Plus the Milguass is so much cooler and unique in a good way.

I’d just sell the milgauss regardless of financial situation. Bias as it is one of my least favorite of the Rolex lineup but if your asking strangers, that be an easy choice for me.

The OP looks dope agains the ink.though I prefer the 39mm OP, the 41 suits your wrist size well.

Milgauss is such an awesome dark horse Rolex. You will regret selling it if you do.

Dump the Milgauss. The OP looks much better.

Also, in few years, I predict people will be giving away Milgausses. Get the money for it when you can.

I agree with the “sell the gmt “ crowd.

One colorful zblue and one monotone OP ( or exp MKII if you still have one ) would make for a great collection.

The Pepsi has massive profit potential solving you financial issue and allowing you to keep two fantastic pieces.

Plus I think the Zblue looks better with the ink and I’ve lost interest in the jubilee sport watch look ….. plus I now feel the case is too chunky compared to the new sub or ExpII

I’m way too indecisive here, it’s been my lifelong problem. Love them both, tough decision Lol.
BUT if one had to go, I think I would part with the OP. The Milguass is special.

If it were OP39, it be an easy decision. Both look great with ink. Since I have never been a fan of the OP41, I’d go Milgauss.
