My current trio

Hello everyone,

I am a flipper, these are the current 3, but am thinking of flipping these for the new Pepsi GMTc or a meteriorite dial Daytona, although the new black dial sky dweller is starting to grow on me.

From reading some other post, I know there is no cure. Any suggestions?

I would say retain the current line up. Functionally they cover all broad bases and are different enough to set each other apart. Don't flip!

Great collection! I wouldn't sell them all to get 1 piece, I think you will regret that decission.

Maybe sells your GMT for a different GMT with some more color (old pepsi or BLNR)? Or the Exporer II polar?

That is quite a collection you've got there. I would think long and hard about flipping them for one watch.

If you're looking for precious metal, I would maybe flip the DSSD & Daytona for the WG Sub and keep the GMT. Or flip DSSD and GMT for it and keep the Daytona. But hard to get rid of 3 for one. You should keep one stainless model IMO.

Keep the Daytona. Flip the DSSD and GMT for a precious metal sub or GMT.

Daytona SS + WG Sub/GMT =

Have you worn a PM Rolex before? I traded in all my watches for a WG Daytona and hated how the weight of the watch kept shifting it away from my point of view.
I'd stick with what you got, but as a flipper you know our advice to "hold" is meaningless...

White Daytona still tougher to get than the others and holds value the best.....its a keeper.
Sell the other two and get a WG or Yellow Gold Sub or YG GMT
Just my opinion

The thing you need to ask yourself... Do I really love precious metal enough to sacrifice 3 fantastic pieces for a similar one in gold?


Best of luck, I would keep what you got!


(P.S - I love gold)
