Downsizing my Rolex Collection
I am wondering if you all can give me some advice on potential consolidation.
This is the SOTC at the moment. 126710 BLNR 126710 BLRO 126500 Daytona Black 124060 Sub No-Date 116610LV Sub (HULK) 116300 Date Just (not pictured) 1974 Red Sub I am considering downsizing a bit since there is a bit of redundancy here. Any advice on tightening up the collection? ![]() Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Personally I’d sell the BLNR and both ceramic submariners. Then add a jubilee for your BLRO for variety.

If you don’t know intuitively what you want to get rid of then don’t get rid of anything. If you do you’ll just be looking at empty slots in your watch box and the urge to fill them back up will return. Just wait until a watch tells you it wants to go or you find something you want more than something you already have.

Awesome collection. I would not change anything.
Do you want something new? Like a Daydate? Then I would sell the Batman |

Sell the "Hulk" and pick up a yellow gold Day-Date 40! Perfect collection then! I know it's not a downsize, but you would really have some beautiful variety!

Yes, I only see Rolex. Can you live with just one?
All joking aside, admirable collection. Otherwise you are very well positioned with a GMT, a Daytona and a Submariner. |

You should sell the BLNR to me since I have tried for years to get one and failed.

Not surprised you have some redundancy in that line up - too much of a similar thing.
Keep the Daytona. Get rid of one of the GMT’s in the top row. Keep your favourite one from the bottom row. Have fun shopping for three replacements that add some variety to your collection - they may all get wrist time then. |

2 gmts/ 3 subs are redundant.
All nice but would lose the gmts altogether and lose one of the subs, probably modern black dial

Easy one. Pick a Sub, GMT, and keep the Daytona

I'd kill the Sub No-Date and the Hulk. I'd also flip the black daytona for a white for some variety

Yeah must haves are sub, gmt, Daytona, dd40 and done.
From yours I’d keep Pepsi and vintage sub, 126, and rg olive or Platty flute diamond dial. Adding jubilee too makes a ton of sense as mentioned above |

I'd keep the vimtage sub, both GMTs but swap bracelets, and maybe the hulk. Sell the others and pick up a speedie to keep a chrono in the collection. I don't know why, but Daytonas don't do anything for me.

This is a difficult and very personal decision, which only you can make, but since you ask I´d keep the BLNR (I prefer it to the BLRO) and the 124060 Sub, whatever else you do. They´re both beautiful watches, and very classic Rolex imo!

You don’t need two ceramic GMTs and two ceramic Sub. And you have a red sub too so maybe keep the blro and blnr + Daytona and RedSub and sell the rest
