If there isn't a financial reason to sell, I suggest you keep all four and bestow the Hulk to your wife for Christmas, an anniversary, or B-day! It stays "in the family" and you won't have seller's remorse some day. :)

Keep them all. You might break even on the BLNR, LV, SD43 but if not then you're just guaranteeing that you lose money. It makes sense to keep the Exp1 for work.

Get rid of the SD43 while you can still get close to MSRP for it.

I did the same thing and sold two of my four time pieces to pickup a Day-Date 40. Maybe trade your Hulk and SD43 for a WG Sub or some YG if you're open to it. I work in a shop environment as well so the YG DD40 is for weekends. Otherwise just sell the Hulk I personally don't wear green at all.

You have an awesome collection ,hard to pick one, if it was me I'd sell the Explorer but you said it's the one you wear the most, take your time to think about it.

If you don’t need to sell them keep them. You won’t lose out on selling blnr at a later date should you decide too.

Keep the Explorer, it's the one you wear the most and also the coolest.
Take advantage of the market for green Subs and ditch the Hulk

Sell the hulk. You wear it least.

Leaves you a GMT, a diver and a smaller low key classic

Honestly that is a beautiful collection but I understand the need to simplify one's life. Before you decide on which Rolex to let go - and let me say "wow" how did you get your hands on a hulk, blnr, and a SD43 already - why don't you get rid of the Zenith and Halios watches and whatever else you have laying about first. That's simplifying your watch collection without losing the crown jewels.

wise advice

I would get rid of the exp2 go as well. Least functional and least dressed up out the bunch. I'm almost sure no one would be judging you on your SS watches unless you work in an extremely low market where then it becomes suspectible to danger.

Hulk has a very good sellers market at this time, but I could see the pride involved with keeping it as well as possibly holding decent value for the future. The BLNR and SD43 are both absolutely stunning watches that are able to be worn as a daily without attracting too much attention. Some invictas look quite similar to the SD43.

Sell the exp2 and give your wife the credit. That is what I would do.

Keep Explorer and Dweller. Both classics in their league.

Remaining 2 give as gift to people you love ( wife, children, parents, signings) .

They will appreciate the gift and take care of it.

Then you will know that the watch you choosen to buy will end up with someone who cares about you. Not a flipper who cares about resale.

Life is too short. Be happy and make somebody happy.
Cheers

Madness! You should obviously keep them all. If one had to go, I’d say SD43 would be the easiest to let with...

My friend, I have the perfect solution for you.

Gift the 214270 to your wife. She'll be happy so you get added brownie points and it will be around your life still.

Definitely tough, I would try to keep them all as well, but if not, for me I see the explorer and SD43 as definite keepers.

I agree the BLNR might be slightly closer in color to your SD, but the GMT function makes it probably the keeper for me over 2 divers. But like others, I'm not a huge fan of the green hulk which I'll admit probably swaying my vote. Visually the hulk would give you the most diverse set, but if it's seeing the least wrist time, and the only reason for cutting one out is they will all see wrist time, I would have to say that's how I would lean.

while I would lose the explorer as I prefer the other three I think losing the blnr would leave you a more balanced trio.

Keep all of them.

But, if you have to let one go, why not lose the explorer and make the SD43 your daily at work?

First of all 4 in my opinion is not too many. If you are sure three is your sweet spot, then sell the least worn watch and move on. The Hulk needs to go with your criteria.

BLNR for me. Just never been a fan of GMT watches in general and don't particularly enjoy the vivid half blue bezel.

Four is not too many as others have said if it is not necessary financially to let one go keep them all. This is a great collection! For me if one had to go though it would be the Hulk because if there is any redundancy in your collection it would be the Hulk and SD43. That said I have yet to try on a SD43 to see if I like the size.

I must say that I have them both and find they play well together in a collection ...wouldn’t want to give up either one!

The most practical is selling the hulk or SD43 as those are divers. But I’d rank Explorer last
So I’d move that one
