Thanks for the advice guys. Yea looks like the bluesy will go. I can't even get a bite on the Omega. May use the Daytona as my only watch and the apple as a beater.

Omega

Jaycnyp · 5 June 2017, 09:11 AM

My first thought was to get rid of the omega. However, looking at it again, I would dump bluesy, at least for now. With the darkside and the Daytona you can cover any situation and dress. The darkside is super casual and the Daytona is the dressier of the three watches.

sea-dweller · 5 June 2017, 09:21 AM

I'd see the Omega also.

Yeah...I hate to say it as it is a cool watch, but the current market is hopelessly soft on the Omega Dark Side...

It's just gotten lost in the shuffle of too many releases and such, so it isn't a focus of WIS lust anymore....hence dealers being cold on it.

Really the focus on the market, with a few exceptions, is select Rolex and Patek references. Everything else is very problematic.

superstarmar · 5 June 2017, 10:06 AM

Huge fan of the Bluesy here... Sell the Omega.
Daytona and Bluesy Sub make a killer combo ....

dhmrs · 5 June 2017, 10:09 AM

I think the Omega and Daytona are a bit redundant since they're both chronos, I'm also biased since the bluesy is one of my all time favorite watches (only being beat out by the Daytona)

vipereaper30 · 5 June 2017, 10:16 AM

Sounds like the right decision to me. I would also take the hit on the Omega and let it go as well. But then I'd also pick up an LVc or BLNR to be a perfect companion to the Daytona!

youthagainsttt · 5 June 2017, 10:18 AM

I'd sell the omega out of the 3.

And this is coming from a bluesy owner who's thinking of selling the 116613

ejvette · 5 June 2017, 10:20 AM

I would sell the sub for immediate cash and down the road if you want to get it back save up some funds and trade the omega(take the hit) and cash for the sub.

SurewoodMike · 5 June 2017, 10:38 AM

I would say bye bye Sub. easy to sell However TT seems to have fallen out of favor according to my AD

Ditch the Sub. That DS Speedy is one of the best looking watches ever made IMHO.

phdezra · 5 June 2017, 11:41 AM

All very nice watches; hard to choose. I personally balky love the Sub Smurf. :-)

dr35mm · 5 June 2017, 11:59 AM

I would sell the sub and speedy.

Daytona may be the ultimate watch and does pretty mucj everything. If you feel later on that you need a second watch I would add a ND sub or an Explorer 1.

Unfortunately, as the OP as discovered, the DS Speedy is pretty much unsaleable for real CASH in todays market (lowballers might offer peanuts), so that really isn't an option in his particular situation.

watchwatcher · 5 June 2017, 12:20 PM

Not in a hundred million years would that one be the one to go if it were me...but hey, it's not.

Uppersouth · 5 June 2017, 12:26 PM

I would hate to let the bluesy go, but that's the liquid one.

gregmoeck · 7 June 2017, 08:55 AM

I would punt the overrated Daytona

uncle_paul_hargis · 7 June 2017, 10:05 AM

There's no right answer here. That Omega is sexy as all hell. If you are looking for diversity you could make an argument for either one paired with the daytona. The Speedy is all black, kinda sexy looking watch. The TT Sub is classic and kind of dressier... Man, I don't know. I'd hate to see either one of them go. I'm less of a fan of two-tone watches personally, but that's just me. Good luck.

Mikegp · 7 June 2017, 11:11 AM

I'd dump the DSOTM

Trade the Daytona AND TT Sub for a gold Sub.

Hotrod297 · 7 June 2017, 01:28 PM

Since it's a $ issue. Do what you have to do.

I have a feeling you're going to miss that TT down the road. But, you can always get it back.

actionkwj · 7 June 2017, 02:45 PM

I'll go against the grain as I'd personally keep the Speedmaster over the Daytona - its nice but about 90% hype.

Omega leaves

logan5tx · 7 June 2017, 08:07 PM

I'm in the same situation. I bought a Bluesy and then my Daytona came up about a month afterwards. I have the Omega Seamaster 300 Master Co-Coaxial titanium and the dealers wouldn't even give me 50% of what I paid for it. I love it and just decided to keep it as a daily or weekend watch. My Bluesy was a grail watch for me. It's flashy but I love it and I'll never let it go now that I have it. I have an old TT Turnograph I just put on consignment. If I can get 4-5k for it I maybe able to scrounge up the difference to pay off the credit card for the Daytona charge. Man, such first world problems. Good luck to you!

Rolerx · 7 June 2017, 09:54 PM

I vote Omega as well. Other two are necessities in a Rolex collection

dave023 · 7 June 2017, 10:51 PM

Sell the TT and the Omega. Enjoy your new Daytona, you can always add a Sub later on.
Congratulations on the Daytona.
