Precious metal rolex

Happy new year everyone! I’m in the market for PM Rolex as I do not have one but have just about every other one I can Think of . I have it narrowed down between a BLRO and a sub Smurf. I already have a subc and hulk and also have a BLNR.
Do both hold their value about the same? I’m leaning towards the Smurf . Input and opinions would be appreciated : Cheers!

3 subs would be a nice set. Not convinced of the need for both BLNR and BLRO.

From what I can tell just by casually following the classifieds, I think they should both hold their value about the same. Definitely go for the one that sings to you more.

Personally I’d go for the sub.

Have both strapped otherwise you would make a mistake. To me personally Smurf does not sing at all, and to the opposite does BLRO. But i was able to grasp these only and after wristing both!

This looks amazing, I don't think I could pull off a YG piece myself but if it suits you it doesn't get much better. The BLRO suits me, I think anyway .....

You have some great sports models. If you are going PM, go yellow, the actual colour of gold, and a grab a day date.

It was easy choice for me out of the two. But you can’t go wrong with any.

You need a Day Date, there is nothing like the president bracelet.

But if limited to the two you listed I would go Smurf, and yes it is the same color as the YM2 bezel.

Sounds like you have a killer collection, let's see a pic of them!

In all serious, I’m just glad you’re not asking about which entrée into Hublot! Nice collection though, some real tough catches you’ve scored.

At first I really didn’t like either one, especially since I freaking HATE Pepsi products!! In the end, I just had to have the Pepsi and couldn’t be happier. The Smurf is just too blue for me. The Easy Link is more than comfortable enough for me. I couldn’t recommend the BLRO more. Either way, you’ll end up with a really nice watch. Good luck in you choice and Happy New Year.
