If you had to keep one (or two!) - Batman, SubC LN or 116613LB

Well I always wanted to have one Rolex but ended up with three for now.. the black Sub is an easy every day to wear watch, versatile and not easy to scratch those polished mid links.. the other two are complete stunners, the Two Tone is so special and gorgeous and the Batman got me completely, don’t know what to do!!

Some pics to spice things up and thank you all guys

Man, that would be an extremely difficult choice to make. It would be hard for me to part with any of those in this situation, however my personal preferences make it a bit easier. The Submariner is such a nice piece, but I would figure out which one is easiest to part with. The two tone would ultimately get my vote but this is obviously (completely) subjective.

I don’t like two-tone watches, so that is an easy first decision for me. It’s then a toss up between the SubC and Batman, with the SubC winning out on versatility.

I know, the 116613LB is just a glorious watch to wear, whenever have it on cannot stop looking at it! BLNR is with me only for a couple of days and never expected that I would like it so much, just wanted to check it out and see what's all this hype about it.. tough choice! Thank you!

You didn’t say why you need to let one or two go. Are you looking at consolidating for another piece? Now, if I had to choose which to let go, it’d be in this order. TT, Sub, BLNR.

LN and BLNR are both black dials and too similar.

Get rid of the LN I say. You will miss the LB too much. I did the same thing years ago and found that the LN was way too boring after a while.

I then re-bought the LB and sold the LN. You sometimes wish you had more color in your life and something that looks a bit more special than a plain black sub.

You are right, I cannot justify now having all 3 so I have set my mind of having one only, got the LB this August.. then a friend wanted some cash so I got the LN at a good deal and then the Batman came along just a couple days back.. I am a Rolex junkie, I am selling my Omega LMPO as well, this comes with a great numbering (0044/1948) since I found myself not wearing at all.. thank you!

Thank you bud, this is what I am looking for, experience based advice with these beauties!

You can ditch the TT Sub if you have to let one go.

The title of your post is which one to keep; the title of your poll is which one to let go. You may have confused some of those who are responding.

Keep them all. I voted for letting go the 116613 but if you do not need the money just keep those beauties.

hey Yiannis kalimera! I would normally keep em all but need to cover some extra overheads this year, I am thinking that it is easy to get the Sub LN so this can go now without making any harm.. I might give some time to the Batman since it's the new and then see how it feels, the LB is a keeper, feels and looks exceptional!

Not a fan of colors at all on a Rolex sport watch, so LN for me.

It really depends on what else you have and what your plan is for the future. I just traded a 116613 for a BLNR because I have a gold dress watch and found the BLNR a perfect fit between that and my Daytona.

If these are your 3 primary watches, I'd be tempted to let the LN go and maybe pick up a DJ 41 for a bit of variety in the future.

I'd let the TT go first, I'm not a fan of two tone.

Of the other two:
If it's going to be your only watch, keep the sub for versatility. Less scratch prone without PCLs too.
If it's going to be part of a collection, I think the BLNR is more special and dresses up nicely.

Keep the BLNR and either the LN or LB. Both are good choices, but whichever suits you best.

If I were you I'd sell the LN for a few reasons.

1. You have and love the 16610 LN

2. the others may increase in value whereas the LN may just hold its value. I'm probably wrong about that though.

Yes you are right, I like the Sub-C LN as well but cannot keep all for now..

The BLNR suits you the worst of the 3 from the wrist pics, so I’d get rid of that. Not to say it looks bad, just not quite as good on your wrist as the others there.

If only 1... BLNR... If 2 BLNR and SubC LN. But my choice would be to keep all three.

The LB is a keeper. It can be a one and only piece as far as I am concerned.

But the Subs have the glidelock clasp which is extremely practical, thank you!

I tried that before, just didn't work out for me even I liked the watch.. special and sometimes difficult to match with clothing, shoes, etc

I had the bracelet resized so now sits nicely, Subs have the extra glidelock feature so extra points there...

Well this is what I thought when I got it and the same I think every time I look at it, I believe if I had to chose one that would be it!
