Time to go full vintage?

Hello everyone. I'm seeking some advice.

I have been wearing my 6265 and the more I look at it, the more I like the vintage look alongside the hunt, minutiae, etc. As such I'm looking to switch two modern Rolex pieces for two vintage Rolex pieces, but I have some questions.

I have a Deepsea and a BLNR. My Deepsea is my workhorse, it goes everywhere. My BLNR I've been wearing less because I always had a feeling I would eventually sell it for one reason or another. But it's also the most useful complication as I work across time zones.

I'm thinking of swapping like for like, and get a 1665/1680/5513 and a 1675. And come out flat more or less.

Am I being unrealistic here with finding decent wearable examples (consistent dial, case and hands), and not having to spend money on top for a 1665 and 1675? Or should I be looking at 1680/5513 and 1675?

To anyone who's had a GMT Master II, and travels a bit, have you made the switch to a GMT Master, have you regretted it for the loss of functionality? I still will have a 16570 that can do that job.

Thanks for your advice.
