Which one should go - Hulk or AP?

It appears my new AD maybe able to allocate a new GMT Master II (Bruce Wayne) for me sometime soon.

Throughout the years, I’ve been fortunate to have acquired a Hulk and AP RO 15500 through an AD and the Daytona Pikachu OF via a reseller. Each of the 3 watches is special to me in different ways, but I find myself wearing the Daytona the most. Once the GMT arrives, I can see myself rotating between that and the Daytona on the regular.

My gut tells me I don’t need all 4 watches and I should sell one. With the cash in hand, I would invest it in the market or put into some large house projects.

Thoughts on which one should go?

Thanks!

Personally, if it wasn’t imperative, I’d keep all as they all make for a great collection.
If having to let one go, it’d probably be the Hulk, as I’d personally want the variety.

Are they oyster or jubilee or one of each?

Either way, I think you have redundancy and would keep the AP, for the bracelet alone.

I'd keep them all. That's a nice 4 piece collection.

When I got my BLNR, I felt like something needed to go. I just thought 5 watches was excessive and unnecessary. But I never parted ways with any of them.

This is me for well.
Add the GMT and see how it goes. I prefer your current three.

Out of the three you have I’d be keeping them all. Trading any would be for me a massive mistake and down the line you could regret it

Don't let the Hulk go, it is a more collectable piece and one of a kind, the GMT II (Bruce Wayne) is the least favorite among your collection.

I highly recommend you either keep you all your watches or to forget about GMT II (Bruce Wayne), as this one will be much more attainable in the near future.

The one you are not wearing would be my choice. Past that it's down to personal preference. I cannot imagine any situation in which I would sell my Hulk. Next week I might think the opposite - unlikely but possible. You do you.

Definitely keep what you have. No need to get the bruce Willis when you already have a Yoda and and a cowardly lion. Definitely keep the the royal oak as well.

Tough call…. If I had to get rid of something in your collection personally it would be the new GMT followed by the Hulk.

If you aren’t married to any of the three you have I’d sell the one that nets you the most money for your house projects

That said, I’d start buy adding the GMT and waiting to see where you’re at after spending some time with all of them.

Never sell a watch in advance of buying another (if at all possible) is my advice.

I would get the fourth watch and just see how it goes with wear. If you then want to make a move it should be apparent by wear.

If you can afford it you should keep them all and add. If you can’t afford to add, then you should sell some watches regardless as that is a lot of money to be tied up. Otherwise it comes down to personal preference. I would sell the RO or the Daytona on OF as I am not a fan, but that is me, they are your watches.

I certainly wouldn’t sell either for the GMT to be honest ..

Skip the “Bruce Wayne,” you’ll be sorry if you let anything already determined to be special go.

Flip the GRNR - it's by ways the worst of the bunch you own. IMO one of the laziest releases of Rolex in years and I imagine it will fall in value pretty quickly once people realize just how "meh" this one is (after the initial hype of a new release wears off)

Given what you have coupled with having seen the GRNR in the flesh, keep what you have. Forget GRNR.

First off, I wouldn’t let go of watches with special memories.

What color is the APRO?
I’d probably let this one go if it’s not blue. Can buy it back later. The prices continue to come down on these on secondary. If you have a special memory, then I wouldn’t.

Hulk is discontinued, I’d wear it as much as possible for months and then see if I really want to let it go.

Pikachu - I think these prices will continue to slide a bit as well. You seem to wear this the most.

I would also sell the Bruce Wayne when it comes until prices normalize. Then get another

Please let’s not promote flipping. OP if you like the watch buy it. If not, leave it for someone else that truly wants it.
