Dilemma: Should I sell my 1 week old DJ41 blue jubilee?

I know this is crazy. I just got the watch September 17 after an 18 week wait (I ordered it May 19).


My plan was to use my Sub ND as my sport watch and the DJ41 as my dressy-sport watch. But in July my AD offered me a BLNR jubilee totally unexpected. While I had no intention to purchase a third Rolex, I did.


I truly love all three watches but the BLNR is my favorite.


I know a lot of you on this forum will say “keep all three” and I completely understand your point of view ... as collectors. But I’m not really a collector. I’m an enthusiast who loves his watches. And I prefer to have a collection of 2 pieces that I bond with. I envisioned wearing my dressier piece to work, then switching out to the Sub for play and weekends. The third watch kinda throws a wrench into the works.


So, should I sell the new DJ41 since the GMT currently fills its role? Or do you have another suggestion (keep DJ41 & Sub, DJ41 & GMT, etc)?

I like the diversity the DJ offers, personally the other two are too close.

DJ needs a fluted bezel. I'd sell it and never look back.

Sell the Sub. If only keeping two a DJ (dress) and GMT (sport) work perfectly

Touch choice. While I agree that fluted bezel + jubilee is more suited for DJ41, I also agree that Sub and GMT are kind of similar. Perhaps keep GMT, sell DJ41 and Sub and get DJ41 fluted or... maybe keep GMT alone and save up for a DayDate, which is the ultimate Rolex in my book.

I’d sell the DJ41, beautiful as that dial may be.

I’d never sell anything with glidelock personally and it sounds like you’re enjoying the BLNR.

A First World problem. If you want a dress watch to wear with shirt and tie or jacket or suit you should keep the DJ. The GMT is really nice and I am on a list for one, but as you really only want 2, sell it and bank some money.

Why make a quick decision that you may regret later? Keep all 3 for a few weeks or months before deciding.

If only two watches, I’d keep BLNR and sell the other two for something more special. Either PM Rolex or maybe something on a leather strap like a Lange Saxonia or JLC ultra thin moonphase.

If your DJ was on fluted bezel or the BNLR on an oyster this would be a no brainer. A dressy DJ with a sporty BNLR are very complimentary.
As it is the sub and BNLR are both what I would consider sport models and very similar looks.
Im this case I would keep the BNLR and sub sell the DJ, but to me the best combo would be the DJ 41 with fluted bezel and jubilee and the BNLR on an oyster.
My current collection is the DJ 41 on jubilee with fluted bezel a more dressy every day watch with a pre ceramic ND sub on an oyster for play/weekend.
Any way you you go you will have a couple of great watches that you will enjoy for a long time. Enjoy them

We went through this on a number of mediums.

Sell the DJ. You don’t need it. You have an amazing two watch collection. The GMT is blingy enough and the Sub is a versatile icon.

Exactly.....plus the DJ41 will be a refreshing and comfy change to rotate with. I really want to say keep all 3. I have that trio and couldn't sell any.

Just some constructive criticism. I was all for a DJ on a smooth bezel until I saw one is person. It is way too wide. Fluted is nicer, iconic and hides scratches better.

That’s a tough one! Especially on this forum! I have all three and they each full a different purpose!
If you “must” sell one then I would sell the sub

Personally i would get rid of the DJ. If it were me, i have no need for two watches on Jubilee. Sell it and buy something different. Maybe a polar explorer? Or something vintage!
