Which one to keep?!?

Stumped here.

Option A- keep the sub. Watch only. I feel like this may hold its value better or more become more collectible with years to come.

Option B- keep the DJ. Full set. Would be nice to put a couple more grand in my pocket. Simple, elegant, however a little small....

Option C (lord help me)- keep both.

Any comments appreciated. Thanks!

obviously keep both. A datejust + a submariner is a great collection. The sub for daily wear and the datejust for the evening / dressier occasions

Whatever you do please,eep the submariner. If you sell it you will be buying it back one day and paying way more.

Came to the wrong place for logical feedback heh. I'd say if you keep one keep the sub... Otherwise definitely both.

Keep the Sub no matter what, but the best option is to keep both.

As noted above, these two watches cover all bases.

Don't mess with a good thing.

If you sell one, there's a good chance you'll want to eventually get another to fill the void. That one could end up being more expensive.

So, long term, it really makes more financial sense to keep both.

Option D: sell both and get a black ceramic GMTII. Good offers out there. Pocket the difference.

I would keep the sub and wear it, not collectible and value is a relative term
