This.

I’d also sell the LN, and leave it up to you to decide what to do with the BLNR and BLRO after having spent some time with both.

It's a bit of distortion. I do have 6.5 inch wrists, but I'm also 6'2" 220, so I find overall 39-42mm my sweet spot. Actually a big fan of how the 216570 wears.

Easy, sell the Explorer IIs and keep the GMTs.

If money is no object, keep them all.

If have to let one goes, should be one of Explorer II.

cdmorenot · 3 February 2023, 08:46 AM

I'd keep the BLRO or the BLNR and grab something different such as a DJ and keep it at two.

MinMay · 3 February 2023, 08:50 AM

Keep the jubilee because it will fetch a lot more money 10 years from now.

falc · 3 February 2023, 09:11 AM

Congrats on the incoming

Haha, my signature should be enough.

Mike507 · 3 February 2023, 09:31 AM

keep one and switch the bezel out lol

MJZRolex · 3 February 2023, 09:34 AM

Funny how things work out. Perhaps you can return the BLRO to the trusted seller explaining the situation and pay him a bit for his trouble.

dannyp · 3 February 2023, 09:34 AM

What's TS return policy on BLRO? If you can return w/o issue, I'd just pretend that one never happened. Otherwise, I'd personally let go of the LN. Blocky case + green 24hr hand + PCL probably makes it my all-time least favorite steel GMT.

OK. That sounds more like it.

Onequik135i · 3 February 2023, 09:39 AM

That LN is a tough one to give up, quick glance looks like a sub but has a certain charm to it w that green hand/dial bezel combo. Decisions here.

Yes, and the LN is the only one in your GMT trio with a proven movement.

fskywalker · 3 February 2023, 10:33 AM

Sell BLRO if you prefer BLNR

Going to get flack for this, but we’re it me, I would involve my spouse, with some sedate self advocacy in the explanation. How insane the market has been. How long you have waited. Etc. And ask her input. You might be surprised. And you have nothing to loose.

Haha, I did talk it over with my wife. Obviously she realizes the BLNR can't go anywhere. She really wants me to just sell a lot of my non-Rolex watches (if it were up to here I'd sell every single one

) first.

Then she'd really like me to sell the LN. She's always liked the Pepsi though, even as a non-watch person. I explained the discontinued potential classic nature of the LN, and her opinion was just that even vs a discontinued model the Pepsi will always be more "classic". She also knows the black 216570 is sentimental to me, and she thinks "that's your plain Jane black Rolex, why do you need another?"

So yea, she'd like me to sell my non-Rolex watches first (which I was planning on doing anyway just to trim things down) while taking some time with the Rolexes, but she thinks I should definitely move the LN eventually.

Trailboss516 · 3 February 2023, 11:56 AM

Keep the BLNR from AD, return BLRO to TS, keep Black Exp II, sell everything else. With that put aside some for next AD wishlist item and buy the wife a gift.

The smart move. Particularly that last part

logo · 3 February 2023, 12:48 PM

Too much repetition for me. I’d liquidate the BLRO and BLNR to buy something gold. You have attachment to neither since you just got them out of the blue, while you do have attachment to your other pieces. Heck, why not sell all 3 GMTs and parlay that towards a meteorite BLRO? Gold is calling.

B2 Stealth · 3 February 2023, 02:55 PM

No way get rid of the BLRO. Do anything but.
