At some point in the future I think I may cull my Rolex collection down to two pieces. (At least that’s what I keep telling my wife

)

I’m leaning towards the WG Daytona / Pepsi combo.

Which two would you choose based solely on looks. I love hearing all the possible permutations.

Thanks!

Yep.

Second choice would be BLNR/500LN

rdragon · 20 February 2021, 07:47 AM

Either the 2 you picked or the sub and the WG Daytona (depending on your preference for oyster or jubilee). Overall I prefer GMT vs sub.

Epanerai12 · 20 February 2021, 07:48 AM

I think you nailed it with those two. But you need a non ceramic bezel piece to round it out. I’d vote Explorer or AK, but a DJ would serve well here too.

JSolution · 20 February 2021, 07:49 AM

You would have to keep the white gold daytona I would say. Any plus 1 is a good choice!

afmars · 20 February 2021, 07:51 AM

I’d say Pepsi and WG Daytona!

samuel019 · 20 February 2021, 07:55 AM

Would be tough to let any of those go. Well maybe the LV. Not a fan of green but thats a heck of a 5 piece

Thanks! It’s become a real sickness.

It’s sounding like the WG Daytona is the definite keeper out of the bunch so far. I would agree. It’s my favorite piece.

I personally like BLNR on oyster better than this BLRO variant...

But since that is not an option here: WG Daytona and BLRO

ROLEX* · 20 February 2021, 08:02 AM

SS Daytona + WG Daytona or
SS Daytona + SS GMT

But why two only? Making it a trio and then it is much merrier?

Pm Daytona if you are selling one

I think you’re onto something...

Wg Daytona
Sub
Pepsi

Land. Sea. Air. Done!

Though I’m sure I’ll hold onto all of these pieces for a while. It just seems excessive at times. Especially given that I only got a couple of these pieces for msrp - the majority were bought from grey sellers.

There you go.
Collect with a theme eg: land sea air; SS pieces; difficulty to collect pieces eg Daytona; or simply watch that you wear most often and most favourite

sleddog · 20 February 2021, 08:05 AM

Certainly one of the GMT's has to stay, but as for the 2nd watch, it comes down to which you'd prefer and wear the most of what's left. A Sub, or a chrono?
A great collection, and a hard choice no matter what..

EEpro · 20 February 2021, 08:07 AM

Pepsi / white Daytona.

WG Daytona esp if full gold version would be my other vote.

Harry-57 · 20 February 2021, 08:14 AM

LV and BLRO for me. Although the PM Daytona seems to have a feature which can be elusive - legible sub dials. That's tempting.

RolexFlyFisher · 20 February 2021, 08:20 AM

BLNR and the SS Daytona would get my vote.

ROLEX* · 20 February 2021, 08:23 AM

I think it will be interesting combo also if you can just let go the sub (suppose you love gmt and daytona because you own 2 pieces) - culling it to 2 GMT, 2 Daytona - making up to couple watch with wife

jackminny15 · 20 February 2021, 08:25 AM

For me it would be the Batman and the white-dial Daytona.

t65tampa · 20 February 2021, 08:29 AM

Of your five, I’d keep the stainless steel Daytona and the Pepsi GMT Master.

Stainless Daytonas are so comfortable and the Pepsi is such a useful watch with a little splash of color. I’m not a fan of the Oysterflex personally.

Nice collection with the five, though.

If I had your watches and your dilemma, I would choose the SS white Daytona and one of the GMTs (whichever color combo you prefer).

You have such a great collection, I would keep all of them unless you really need money for something important.

If money is no problem but you wanted to have only two, I would keep SS white Daytona and trade the other 4 for WG Pepsi with meteorite dial, so you have the 2 best one.

I actually change my answer. The trade for the meteorite WG Pepsi + 500LN.

...this up here it would be the perfect transformation if you desire to downsize to only 2.

georgekart · 20 February 2021, 09:19 AM

If you can do trio BLRO, LV and WG Daytona cover all the bases. If not I'd go BLRO and 500LN.

slimwristy · 20 February 2021, 09:22 AM

Panda Daytona and Pepsi for me. Great collection though, that’s gonna be a tough choice for when you need to downsize.
