Dilemma - Which one to Keep?

After not having bought a watch in 2016 and most of 2017, I finally started getting the fever again (kinda hard to ever quit, right)?

Anyway, time for some fun. Let’s say you acquired both of these steel stunners this month from an AD and love wearing both equally, but the watch czar declares you must sell one, and you have until April 1, 2018 to do it.

Thinking purely economically and with a mindset like a commodity trader, which one do you sell, when, and why?

The Hulk had recently gained popularity due to it being discontinued. If you want profit, sell bow.

This is a difficult one for me, I have and love both. I’m really enjoying the BLNR at the moment so would probably keep that. Ask me in a month you might get a different answer.

OP stated that he bought them this month. The LV has had its run up already - I don’t see it going much further unless it is confirmed to be discontinued (I’m personally highly doubtful this will happen)

keep both. sell after basel only if something comes out that you want. if its a ss coke gmt dont hold your breath or think it will be released. blnr is too hot of a seller to chop sales.

By all means keep the LVc but I’ll hold my position until Basel.

I would keep both but if I had to sell then the choice would be easy - sell the sub, that GMT is better looking and more versatile.

Tough choice there....if no way to keep both I'd probably say flip the Green as you'll maximize your trade value at present.

You hav two of the hottest SS watches that Rolex is producing, and a desirable Sub / GMT combo at that.

Save and add.

DO NOT SELL ANY IF THESE! You will be posting in the ‘biggest regret’ thread in a year or two.
