Very tough call -- you give up a lot of versatility.... but you gain the awesome feeling of gold. I say go for it!

Thank you all for the responses, after reading these, I neglected to mention the GMT has become the daily wearer, the other two may get one or two days of wrist time each month.

I would flip the GMT to another color. Both GMT and Deepsea are black and look similar from far ;)

actually what i'd do is sell the daytona and DSSD, get a SD4000 or ND sub and save for a Lange/Patek/FP Journe |

With that trio I'm thinking wow, I'm so jealous. Those three are allstars for sure.
If you just posted a PepC, as nice as it is, I would just think "cool" watch. I prefer you're three for the classic references and variety. |

Watchstudent, I was thinking of a Patek but I am a little afraid to pull the trigger, I had an AP and hated it, traded an M series sea dweller and a 3186 pepsi for it, so I regret straying away from Rolex.

With a gold/platinum rolex i just feel like you are paying over the odds for the metal really as the mechanics are identical in the steel ones. With something like the above you aren't really paying for the metal but the expertise and patents and man hours that have gone into the watch and this just sits better with me. All irrelevant for me though as I can't even afford a steel Rolex yet! |

Keep the GMT since its your daily wearer and go either WG/YG Sub or WG/YG Daytona.

I would keep at least one SS piece (the one you wear/enjoy most) out of the three and flip the other two for an upgrade to a PM piece.
I have had three SS models for a long time and love the diversity and feeling I get being able to have 3 options on what watch to wear every morning, I value that a lot. By mid-day if I'm feeling adventurous, I might even switch it up and wear one of the other two Rolexes I have :) Don't know if I could just have 1 watch, but just my 2cents. |

Do any of these 3 have any special meaning? If not, I'd flip them all for the one you want.

I'd say keep the Daytona as your daily and flip the other two for the new Pepsi. The Pepsi GMT looks too similar to the others IMO.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback, I appreciate it. I think keeping 1 and flipping 2 is the way to proceed.

Like everyone has said, that is one heck of a trio, trading 3 for 1 would leave a big hole. Could you swing it by keeping just one your current pieces?
