Which Rolex should I keep??

So I own 2 datejust. I'm gonna sell or trade in 1 of those for a President datejust.

I just cant make up my mind which datejust I want to part with. Its like trying to pick between 2 beautiful girlfriends.

So in your opinion which watch is the most beautiful keeper, and which one should I sell??

Keep the one that contrasts most from the Day-Date you intend to purchase.

I think we have different taste in girlfriends.

Keep the one that speaks to you, my friend.

Does one hold more sentimental value than the other?

I would trade both of them unless either one has sentimental value

What’s a president datejust?
Neither of those are my style- I would start over with all due respect.

good advice.

I know nothing about those DJs. Value, rarity, difficulty to get, etc. Have to admit too, neither is my cup of tea, so I think the advice above is good. Get the one that best compliments your new day-date.

Neither of those DJs are in my personal wheelhouse, but if one sings to you, keep it.

If trading both towards a full gold DJ is what you’re considering, I’d be all for it.

Or, if you’re seeking a Day-Date on president bracelet, I’d recommend doing that. The DD is a fantastic watch and there are many iterations to choose from. The president bracelet is very comfortable on the wrist.

Sell the one that has the least attachment, otherwise sell both imo.
