Pictures of my two favourite

Just wanted to show you pictures of my two favourite (and only) Rolexes:
My 16233 which has been my companion since 1988 and my Sub which I have had for six years (got it preowned). My dream is to get a Daytona. Have even wondered if I could trade those two for a Daytona, but have also thought that it would be nice to have three Rolexes. What would you do.....?

Great watches. I would keep them both and save up for the Daytona.

Erling, I am in the same boat. In fact, check my signature as we have similar taste in watches! LOL! I couldn't part with my Sub or DJ, so for me, I'm saving for the Daytona! A fine trio IMO!

Save, borrow, or steal but grow, not consolidate, the collection.
