[han_solo]

Touch decision to make!!! Due to family, I want to shrink down my collection to 2 out of 4. Which ones should I let go of?? I love them all dearly!!! I had been struggling for so so long...


1. Cartier tank Louis Onyx dial. WGTA0091
2. Rolex GMT Batman oyster m126710blnr.
3. Rolex Submariner date m126610ln.
4. Rolex Explorer 36 m124270.

Help! Everyone! Really appreciate.

Besides, is batman your favorite or batgirl? Should I chase the "girl"?

…the submariner and explorer would make an awesome duo.

Sell the explorer and GMT.

Actually, it’s a very personal decision, so asking on the forum will likely not net you the best answer.

You are absolutely right! I love them dearly. If it's up to me, I will keep them all. Love is blind, but finance is reality.

You might be right, what about the GMT?

[cdm765]

I would sell the Sub and Cartier in your shoes.

I would do the exact opposite haha

[RoRoRo]

Keep Exp and GMT.

Smooth bezel and rotating

No doubt about the sub. But the carrier... It kills me. When you look at it, it looks so cool.

Those two seem to be all daily beaters.

I’d keep a dress and a tool. All of the Rolexes are variations on both. Since the Cartier is not a tool, I’d go with “tooliest” Rolex. Keep the Sub and Tank.

Good one; that was my previous collection.

[Overwatch]

I'd keep GMT and tank.

[moting]

I would keep GMT + Explorer

Impossible to answer for you. What is your wear pattern like? Which do you wear the most/least?

Thanks. The problem is... is not what I like. This is what I can prioritize. So, I have to pass the question to you. Just you are in the situation.

If you are prioritizing family, then sell them all except Explorer. It's all the watch you'll ever need.

[Tim Plains]

The Cartier and Explorer do nothing for me, so those would go.

[Disaar]

I'd keep the cartier and explorer!

If I were in this situation I would keep the BLNR & Explorer.

My thinking as well.

[Mr. Drunmond]

Keep the tank and whichever of the sub/gmt you like best.

[jb335]

That’s a super cool Cartier and would pair great with the BLNR. Two totally different watches to cover different needs. And the Rolex GMT is their best modern movement, must keep that.

I’d move the Sub and Explorer.

I am not a fan of Cartier, so my vote are sell the tank and explorer.

If you want one of each, than keep the tank and BLNR

Honestly, can we just talk about that Tank Louis? It’s so damn gorgeous. I like the dark green strap you put on it. Is that an OEM strap?

I think this one is hard to get at a Cartier AD too…maybe I’m wrong though.

Thank you for noticing that. I'm with you. I had quite a journey with this one.

It's absolutely a gorgeous piece. Strange thing, though, Cartier doesn't seem to promote much about this one, rather than Santos. I was lucky enough to see it from Cartier AD 2022 right after it was released. At the time, people don't seem to know and appreciate this piece (I think it's the ridiculous price Cartier set). I just pulled the trigger and even a small discount.

Time passed, and I heard it was nearly impossible to get now. I was one of the only two customers who got it, which means one AD only gets two pieces for half a year. And I'm talking about Cartier Boutique.

I heard from my AD friend that Cartier would release again for Green and Red dial in yellow gold this Sept 2023. Who knows if they will discontinue the black dial? We will see.

Besides, the strap was a custom strap from a leather maker I know—such a beauty. I'm afraid I much have to disagree with the original strap. It's too hard and just dull (with black).

BTW, based on the catalog, the green and red dial they will release in Sept are in green and red straps accordingly.

Good luck if you want one; I see a few on Chrono24.

Sometimes, when I see the sub and Batman side by side, I see a lot of similarities... Mainly the case size and shape, I think.
