Four sports watch collection. Which one to sell?

I’m looking to downsize. I have four sports models that I’d like to simplify to three. Want to sell one.

My collection:

1) Yacht-Master 126622 40mm blue
2) GMT II BLRO steel 126710 BLRo
3) Submariner Hulk 116610LV
4) GMT II BLNR 116710 BLNR

I love them all but I want to sell one to find a Rose Gold on Oysterflex. Which one goes and why???? Opinions appreciated.6C5C2EFA-48AE-44CD-8C4B-EE7E54331164.jpeg
This is my entire Rolex collection.

I rotate them and love them equally.....except the BLRO, damn that rock.

Let the Yachtmaster go. I'm fairly confident this will be the majority of recommendations on this forum.

Why? To me it's the least appealing of your 4 watches. Although i do like the yachtmaster, I wouldn't choose it over any of your other pieces.

One of the GMT’s. Once I got my BLRO my BLNR was collecting dust. Too redundant for me.

It's an expensive hobby. And I want to get a Daytona Rose Gold on Oysterflex.

I’d sell the hulk, as I’d rather at least profit rather than take a hit on the YM.

Am leaning towards the BLNR. And I'd get a lot of money on that sale. It's in mint condition and I bought it for $8975 back in 2015. Perhaps with a little luck I could back 14-14.5 for it?

Two GMTs seems redundant. Although I LOVE and owned the BLNR for years, I would let it go. The BLRO is tougher to get and really nails (to me, at least) the modern take on the classic GMT.

Diver: Sub
GMT: BLRO
Dressy: YM

Good luck on the decision! I’m sure you will love the Daytona.

I’ve have all of those watches except the LV, which I did have, twice.

Replace the LV.

It's not am monetary thing. I just don't wear 4-5 watches regularly. BTW I'm in BC grad. You crush us in the ACC every year.

I’d say yacht master. Just my
Personal opinion. The others are too classic.

BLNR or the BLRO since they're pretty much the same

Probably closer to $13k but still a nice profit.

I’d sell a GMT. Probably the BLNR since you have other oyster bracelets.

I’m more about dial selection vs reference. The YM has a gorgeous blue dial then the hulk and GMT are complimentary.

BLNR would go for me. Your Rolex GMT base is already covered. It's way overhyped.
second choice would be the Hulk. Goes with nothing and also overhyped not to mention the lugs.
The YM is an elegant watch in my opinion.

BLNR. I don’t think you need two GMTs.

Why don’t you put the BLNR away for a week and then see if you miss it. If you do, then put a different one away for a week to see how you feel.

Of the 4, I would sell the YM. People are saying that two GMTs is redundant, but I don't think that's true if you're into GMTs. Others are saying to sell the Hulk, BLRO, or BLNR to make a profit, but that wouldn't really be a consideration for me. If you're expecting to sell another some time soon and are trying to time the market to make maximum profit, sure, but otherwise who cares.

I'm not trying to make money off a watch investment. I just want to wear the watches I like. I don't want to sell a watch I like just to make a profit off it.

Definitely either the YM or the BLNR. Looking at your collection I'm initially inclined to say sell the BLNR but then when other factors like value retention come into play I'd say sell the YM. The YM would be exceedingly easy to reacquire. The BLNR definitely would not be.

Me personally, I’d sell both the LV and BLNR. Big profit to immediately flip towards your RG piece (maybe even go full RG, no oysterflex). Despite being different watches, to most casual observers a YM, sub, GMT all look like the same watch with a different bezel/dial combo so if if you’re not one for having a large ever expanding collection, I’d dilute it down to two then go from there.
