Hi Richard

I've noted that a lot of your recent pictures apear to be of the YG sub. I could be wrong but I wonder if that's your "go to"?

In which case - keep that one.

Much as I love white gold, i'm not a fan of the WG sub (and two gold subs may make one redundant), so that one for me would go to be replaced with the YG GMT2

That would give you two yellow metal watches and two white/silver metal watches, one blue, one white, one green and one black dial.

I'd keep the S/SLN for those days you didn't want a PM piece on your wrist.

Its a great dilemma to have

Richard, this one will take some time to weigh and to finally do the deal...

First thought is that Pm being as hefty as it is, should require a GlideLock, and although I love love the BLRO, and the 116718 Green Dial, I'm too picky about fitment on PM to use anything but the GlideLock...

Just a thought... How about keeping the Smurf, and the YG Sub, and trading the WG Daytona, for a RG, or YG version?

However, if you don't like the above ideas, Keep the Smurf, AND the YG Sub, because these watches are the Heavy Hitters in the Rolex Sport Line and trade the SS GMT for either the Green Dial PM, or the BLRO. You know theres nothing like the feel of Gold...

Good luck on your decision, and really take some time to sleep with your ideas...You lucky man you!

I'd go WG Sub, YG GMT. You're still getting a yellow gold piece, but the green dial and GMT give you some more variation.
