Batman trumps explorer 2
It looks like the batman has nudged or is nudging the explorer 2 from the box !

Have you dealt with richemont for service? That might make you want to dump the jlc.

If you want to make your box more "loose" then you want to "lose" a watch. I vote for losing the Explorer II or DJ II

Oh my God!!!! I will have to think of some reason to forgive those who suggested the Reverso. Once you've got one in your collection, never let it go.
I'd release the Explorer 2.

Don't dump the Explorer 2 either. It's a unique reference, beautifully executed and a refreshing change to the usual ceramic bezel offerings. I think those who haven't worn them probably don't appreciate them for what they are because they're blinded by the usual SD's, Subs and GMT's. All wonderful watches, but the Explorer 216570 is every bit as good as the usual run of the mill Rolex sports offerings. It's is not a lesser watch.

With several of these being discontinued , the hulk maybe and even the explorer 2 perhaps , the batman may well be the easiest to replace in the future ? Perhaps this one should go as I also have several ceramics.

Do not get rid of the reverso.

It's a classic watch that adds needed diversity to your collection.

If you don't need/want two divers, then maybe one of them should get the axe?

Otherwise, it would be between the DJ or the Reverso for me.

The Explorer II is just a bezel-less GMT2. Get rid of the Explorer II since you already have the GMT. Only logical choice.

Lose, not loose. Sorry but this is a cross pond error that drives me barmy.

The e at the end of the word, generally, elongates the preceding vowel.

Loose is sporting a fine double o, phonetically different from the elongated o. It also is very different in meaning.

Apologies, rant over.

Keep the reverso, is your dress watch. Explorer II if I were you, you have a GMT already.
