Funny you mention it as I am thinking about picking up a DB, far more interesting than the other two.

I agree with the consensus. Dblue is my least favorite of your collection. I do like the other two.

In general, I’d say let go of the 116660 but only because I personally much prefer the sub/gmt over it…ymmv.

In reality, I would say get rid of the one you wear the least..

Easy one, let go of the D Blue. Then you have a perfect two Rolex collection for whatever life throws at you.

The sub. The41 is better, and no date just doesn’t look like a Rolex.
Get one with a date later

What is better about the 41? The movement, the looks or the -to big-clap?

If you find the DBlue uncomfortable to wear, then that one.

If you wear it comfortably, then the sub as it is common & aesthetically a bit boring.

Although I am a FatBoy case fan, must I confess that the lugs are so nice on the new (movement) references.

Maybe I missed it somewhere, but it would depend on why you’re getting rid of a watch.

If it’s purely for the money, then I’d sell the BLNR, as it will net you the most.

That kind of practical advice has no place on this forum, T-Bone, you know better.

I've always thought the D-blue and BLNR make for quite the pair, so that would be my choice for keepers.

Although, to be honest, I couldn't really see the point of letting the sub go.
