One coming BUT one must go...but which ??

After a little searching I have a 15400or on black alligator coming. It's the classy piece I have been looking for. However to make room one of the following MUST go:

- SkyD Blue Dial
- 26331 ROC White Panda Dial
- 26400io ROO 44 TI

The above represent the entirety of my current collection (save for a Panerai that I cannot let go due to sentimental reasons).

Which one of the above would you exit ? opinions and thoughts always appreciated.

That’s a really though question.
If I were you, I would let go of the SkyD since I’m not a really huge fan of the model and I’m okay having a 3 AP collection.

Just ask yourself which of the 3 do you wear the least and it should help you out a lot.

ooh. That's a tough one. I don't think I can let any of those go to be honest with you. If I was forced to choose, I would let the ROC go. You would still be left with the 44TI as the chrono in the collection. There would be some redundancy with the ROC and 15400 in overall watch design if you had to split hairs.

Why is the bracelet not part of the 15400? Without it I would not sell one of the above.

The bracelet version in nice but there is a huge price difference and I can’t really get a lot of wear out of a solid gold piece in my day to day life and activities. The strap in the way I’m going st this point.

Ah ok....I understand that.
So in that case I would let the SkyD go.

Exactly. The 44roo will be the casual piece. The 15400 will be classic/dressy piece and the skydweller will be the business attire with dual time function. Don't sell the skydweller, it will be hard to replace. Others can easily be replaced if you regret selling down the road

I think SkyD is an interesting one from Rolex and not as easy to get with blue dial.

26331 to me is a fail (dial not balanced with small subdial at 6, date, fake pushers) - I like the ROC but 26331 is not the right one to me (I liked it when it was released and bought one with blue dial but actually thinking to let it go now).
So I would let 26331 go to buy this one and invest maybe later in a Kasparov which is way cheaper or 26320 in 41mm.

Good to have a sporty watch together with the 15400 so I would keep the ROO. Also such discount on ROO that I wouldn't sell this one.

To me 26331!

Normally I remind people that, as fully fleged adults, they’re more than capable of making decisions without others’ input.
You’ll know better than any of us which one(s) spend more time in the watch box/winder than the rest, but fwiw, I’d pointedly ask the question, “do you need two chronographs from the same brand?”
Given one is the same case as the recently purchased, then it’s fairly obvious where the overlap lies.

Easy... the ROO Titanium, as it's too big

Tough call!

Personally, my APs get most of my wrist time and my Rolexes not so much, so an all AP collection sounds good to me and the SkyD would be the one to go

I would let go of the 44. The ROC is more versatile and comes with the best bracelet in the game.

ROO is too big for me so I’d let that go. SkyD is a nice piece I think worth keeping

I think we are all well aware that we can make our own decisions. Don't really see why it hurts to get others input?! If you don't want to give it just stay silent.

I would let the ROO go, not a fan of the size and I think the other 3 will give you a great trio!

I fail to see how your dislike of the ROOC’s size aids the OP’s decision.
Similarly the post before yours, and yoast’s.
Do any of the three of you have some sort of insight as to the OP’s wrist size and shape?

Maybe now you can appreciate the subtlety of my point, which is that such threads are effectively pointless.

ROC, similar to the RO. You sure you can't go full on gold for the RO, I would as I had one, and save up if you must.

Let go of the Roc. It would be most redundant.

Agree 100%. so much of this hangs on the subjective: i.e. personal taste & style

I vote that you let the ROC go, and that's coming from someone who has the same ROC.

I started this thread to get other forum members opinions as I value this community and what it has to offer. I don't find such threads pointless (you don't need to participate if you do) and truly appreciate everyone who has taken the time to either vote and/or leave a comment.

I am aware that everyone has their own opinion and what I am doing is gathering these in an effort to help in my decision. Forum members input IS valuable to me even, as in you case, when it is given with pointed sarcasm. Clearly you like voicing your opinion as well.

As an aside, I have a 7" flat wrist and can easily pull off any RO, ROC or ROO.

Keep those opinions coming folks !
