Should I trade?...

I have a SS blue faced ROC that I use as my daily wearer, with shirt and tie office attire it really is the perfect discreet weekday watch. I have a President for special occasions and had thought about trading the ROC for a rose gold rubber clad making the ROO a weekend watch. I'm thinking of a 42mm Explorer 2 as a daily wearer however I can have this as a weekend watch also and keep the ROC as my office watch .

Any suggestions, having all 4 simply isn't an option

I agree with the 1st idea, trade the ROC for the ROO and keep the DD. Then you have formal and casual covered, in style! DD takes over daily duties.

I love my ROC, and wouldn't be trading it for an ROO. If it was me the DD would probably go, or I'd just wait until I can get the funds.

If you "need" rose gold, okay, but, otherwise, I'd keep what you have.

Well that didn't help at all LOL! Letting the Platinum DD2 go just isn't an option. My thoughts are the ROC is a bit of a scratch magnet hence the rubber clad choice, i think I'll take a bit of time, maybe buy the Exp II as a weekend watch then dabble with it as a weekday wearer and thenb decide after that. Thanks for the input
