I’d sell bluesy and keep GMT. I don’t have either, mind.

I like the two but the Bluesy rules as my favorite.

Keep Bluesy 1000% here.

Never owned a GMT but I love the pure aesthetic of three hands on a dial.

Some of my watches only have two - even better imo

No doubt, the Blusey is the keeper in my book.

Next milestone, I will be picking one up and will probably make it my go-to.

Just reading your post got me to go take off the RO and put on my Bluesy. What an iconic watch. I have a close friend of some years that wears his daily as it is his only watch. I worked with him for years and always thought it appropriate and we were in a suit, white shirt and tie industry. In fact it is his constant wearing of that watch that made it my second Rolex buy.

Bluesy.

Plus, I don’t fly out to the west coast twice a month anymore anyway, so although the GMTs are nice, it’s sort of a pointless complication for me nowadays.

I’d sell the bluesy, they aren’t making anymore of the GMT LN.

Its a personal thing but which one should I keep and which one should I sell.
I would be interested in the forums opinion as I like them both.
Sounds a basic question, but which is YOUR favourite?
If it was me I’d probably keep the GMT

Depends on which looks better on your wrist, which for me comes down to the match against my skin tone.

I let the Bluesy go because of this reason.

Depends on your need. In terms of preference, I would drop the GMT since it is an LN. But the bluesy is probably less easy to wear in all circumstances.

I have these two watches now. If I could only keep one, it would be the GMT

I say sell the bluesy because you can always replace it.

Keep the Bluesy. 10000000x nicer watch - its actually no comparison when you hold them next to each other.

FWIW I am a fan of the Bluesy. But pragmatically speaking, if you have to sell either the LB or LN, sell the LB. If you were to change your mind later, it would be easier and less painful (% markup-wise) to get another LB.

Agreed.

I would keep the 116710LN, I feel it is one of the best watches out there, one of the all time greats, the 116613 LB, doesn't do much for me. Just mho. Do what you thinks right, sell the one that doesn't sing to you, or sings just a little off key.
