Which 2 would you pick?

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!

Dave

Yep.

Second choice would be BLNR/500LN

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.

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.

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

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

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

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..

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.

Pepsi / white Daytona.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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