I have SD4K and would get the SD43 but find it a tad large for me

Smurf is just beautiful!!!

For sure those are keepers!

I would NEVER get rid of them....

Similarly, for me, I would never sell my Daytona SS ceramic white and my BLRO.

I have the same two. Great diversity in both. The only thing I crave for now is something like a D-Blue for Friday's/weekends or maybe an Exp1 to tone it down but I don't think the no date is particularly loud.

Did you brush your bracelet on the BLNR?

That is my exact threesome, albeit purchase in a different order (Sub, Exp1 then the GMT).

If I had to go with a duo, I would take out the Sub. I put a RubberB on the Sub and move the brushed glide lock bracelet to the GMT and Love the versatility.

New poster so will post pics once I get over 10 posts, ha.

No, It's the angle of the photo, the bracelet is original PCLs. I love the Dblue, if you go there (WoW). I tried one on awhile ago and felt it was a little large for my barely 7" wrist. My favorite dial of all...My weekender and fun piece is a Zblue, also have a Polar..

Probably breaking the rules here, as neither of these are currently in my collection, but if all goes to plan these will be joining me in the next 12months, and (I suspect) will be my two faves...

I’m with ya’$! Here’s the thing; and I get the hypothetical question. But,
I caught a major case of “crowntosis” a few years back. Previously, I’d had a datejust and after giving that one to my son when he graduated from college, I purchased a Presidential from an AD. I had simply no idea of the barbarians at the gates for the Crown’s offspring at that time. Then, about two / three years back I got smacked in the face with the run up on these awesome time keepers. I went all in, hard and quick, and amassed and nice collection of 12 different crown styles and models. I typically wear one of about three in my normal day in, day out rotation; the balance are locked up under the watchful eye and critically insured safe deposit box of our local bank. Yet I cannot brung myself to sell any of them. It’s like an expensive version of American horders! I find each one to literally be a work of art; gorgeous in form and function. Provided I am able to continue my life and my familie’s well being without any major setbacks, I plan on keeping them all and letting my grandkids enjoy them years from now.

I think about this question an unhealthy amount. This is my currently my new favourite (and almost achievable!) duo:
