Thinning the Herd
I am contemplating selling a few of my Rolex watches...
Which 2 would you keep for the "rest of your life" and why? - Yachtmaster - Blue Dial - SD43 - Daytona C - White Dial - Batman - Hulk - Milgauss Z-Blue (have Tudor Black Bay 36 for my "beater watch") Thanks in advance for your opinions and advice |

Daytona and BLNR because they are my favorites out of the bunch, and maybe from Rolex in general besides a regular Sub or Sub date

From your list, I would keep the SD and the D500 for sure. But...I would keep the LV and the BLNR, too, unless there is a super compelling reason that you need the cash.

I would keep them all but if you MUST, then I would keep the Daytona and green sub

Daytona and LVc must stay. Both complement each other and are blue-chip Rolex stock.

I'd go two ways. Either the Daytona and BLNR or the Daytona and SD.

ha, there are the SUB people and GMT people. Myself I've gotten a lot of use out of the GMT functions. My heart still skips a beat when I see a worn-in sub...
I say you can't lose with a SUB or a GMT and keep the damn Daytona. Really |

Two is not enough. If you need to downsize sell the Milgauss and Black Bay, then the YM would be the third to go.
BLNR, Hulk, DC500, and SD43 is a primo SS collection. |

very tough decision.
I would keep 3 because this is what my Rolex collection would represent: - SD43 - Daytona C - White Dial - Batman |

You’ve got a nice collection of Rolexes, I would gladly wear any of them. My favorite two Rolexes are the Daytona white C and BLNR and I’m luckily enough to own them both, so that would be my choice but really there are no wrong choices here.

I’d sell of one at a time starting with the one you like least. See how you feel after ones gone and so on ...

That really is a pair to beat a full house, but damn it - someone has to show that Yacht-master some love. So I vote for that.
My gut reaction is to keep the Hulk as the second watch, but that's a lot of color, and also is functionally redundant. As such, I think the BLNR would be a more practical pairing with the Y-M, and would also be more understated. |

Daytona and SD43. The Daytona is a Daytone, nothing else to be said. The SD43 is everything a Sub is with more presence and an awesome bracket.

Batman, like a Sub plus and Zblue for looks and comfort.

If you have to pair down, then Id go either Daytona and Batman - or - Daytona and SD43. These combos offer variety - - different dial colors, different features/functions (chronograph vs. dive watch) and potentially 2 different sizes (if you go with the SD).

I love threads like this. Every possible combo will be suggested multiple times, and the OP will be just as confused as when he started.
