It doesn’t sound as if you like the Daytona, so I would sell that one.

I'd sell the SD... and if you can't cope with 2 GMTs, the BLRO also.

Flip the BLNR since it's duplicative, and has the PCLs you don't really care for. Then use part of the proceeds to buy your AD dinner at Morton's! Man, s/he's been good to you!

It sounds tempting but don't want to base my decision on that profit, I got it to enjoy it and not so sure it'll be that easy to get another one from my AD.

AP15400(blue) or Blue Skydweller on the list for both.

Not getting a chrono.

Otherwise, since you need the money for another piece, the sensible choice is the BLRO, now that it's super hot. If you really want to keep the BLRO, then let the BLNR go.
Thanks for your opinion.

I like it, it does feel small , but will like to give a try for a while since I always wanted a white dial.

One of my ideas is to try the Daytona on the croc Strap like Chadriv did (there's a thread here) using the OEM Strap and Smarty end links.

Looking at adding either an AP15400 or a Blue Skydweller on the list for both.

SD43 would be the one I'd part with. I'd prefer the SD4KC!!!

I’m in that position at the moment(one should go) , I’ve been super lucky to get all this pieces , some before the shortage and others with good relationships with some AD’s but now I want to let one go to make room for another piece.



Some things to consider:



-LV was the first one of the bunch and was my daily for a while , w/o any issues with the color etc, I love that watch.



-I’m not a big fan of PCL’s but can live with them, on the Jubilee I have no probl with it since it handles the scratches way better than the Oyster.



-BLNR was the one that got me into buying Rolex watches again, I had some pieces before but was mainly a one or two watch guy before I discovered the BLNR and started the journey again., but sometimes I think that one GMT is more than enough even though, I have no problem with more than one diver.



-116500 , again not a fan of the PCL’s , had a black one and flipped it because I always wanted a white , find it a bit small for my 7.3 “ wrist , got it recently so might give it some time , again find it small but I think I might get used to it , the black was definetly small for my taste but the fact that I always wanted the white might have affected my decision., also think that getting another one from my AD would be almost imposible.



-SD43 Don’t wear it as much as I like , love the heft and size, was from one of the first batches that came out in 2017 so a true anniversary edition with of course Mk1 dial, no problem with the size of it on my wrist.



I know this might no be the most helpful explanation since all have their pro’s and cons but wanted to hear your opinion.



Thanks.

I wouldn’t let go of any of them unless you’re eyeing something else you REALLY want more than any of your 5

I am thinking that the BLNR would be the one to let go since you have two GMT's. However, it seems like you might have a bit of sentimental attachment to it?

If you can't let go of the BLNR, it seems like it makes sense for you to sell the Daytona? From the sound of it, it seems like you like this one the least. Are you are trying to warm up to it knowing that if you sell, that you most likely won't be able to get another one? If you truly don't care for it, this should be the one to go as it will bring some great revenue for your next one as well. Plus it has the "scratch magnet" Oyster bracelet PCL's.

For me personally, all of those watches on your "roll" would be keepers. Those are high on my want list (and everyone else's want list too unfortunately) and that would be my dream collection of sports watches! I would end up selling the SD43. I have a small wrist, and that watch is too big and hefty for me to comfortably wear. If you like and enjoy it though, you should definitely keep that one!

I am curious.....what piece do you have your eye on next? It must be something pretty impressive if this is your current collection! :)

My experience always has me appreciating the Rolex bracelet above all Rolex strap options so while a leather strap on a Rolex may look great, the lack of durability the strap imposes on the sports watch build of a Rolex invariably has me reinstalling the bracelet after only brief periods without.

When I think of strap, I think of leather on a dress watch like a Patek or my current favorite FP journe.

In any event you have a killer collection but it has a bit of redundancy and room to diversify imho. There is a whole world of watches out there to explore.

These threads always make me chuckle.

OP presents his thoughts and asks for advice, yet half the responses generally ignore the OP’s situation and present a response based on that members personal preference only.

OP. I see that you still have stickers on the BLNR and Daytona. Can’t tell on the rest.

Which suggests that after the LVC you didnt just buy (some of?) the rest to wear.

You say the LVC was your first and you love it. So that stays.

You say you love the heft of the SD43 and it’s a first year true anniversary release, so that stays. You’re also happy with more than one diver

You say the jubilee handles scratches better than the PCL oyster so that stays and gives you your one GMT


So it’s down to the BLNR or the Daytona. For me the BLNR goes because the Daytona gives you diversity and you have another GMT

But only you can make that choice

Which one should go?

2 GMTs and and blue Sky dweller will be your next? The 3 watches offer you different time Zones and therefore similar features. Get rid of the BLRO. Batman was the 1st having the bi-color Cerachrom bezel that rolex unveiled in 2013!
