Thanks for advice!

Between the two of these, in consideration of your collection, which is really nice by the way, I would keep the day date.

You decision to flip either your YG is not one I would consider. Two of the best YG Rolex models. Your collection is very solid none the less.

So WG Pepsi and DJ41 going for sure. SkyDweller close to going. Get a Zeitwerk instead of Datograph?

Congratulations on the Datograph. It's an amazing watch! If I were you, I would have no problem getting rid of the Skydweller and the white gold Pepsi and getting on a list to purchase the stainless ceramic Pepsi at MSRP when one is available.

I'd keep the skyd for more wrist presence, easylink, complications, movement, and aesthetics, but I'm biased.

Looks like your Sky Dweller is the 2018 Basel release. Is that correct? If so, why are you considering moving it so quickly?

Keep the one that gets the most wrist time and flip the other. If equal I would flipthe YG SkyDweller and keep the DD40. The SkyDweller is amazing, but I think the DD40 looks a little better with the more cleaner dial.

I’d move the SkyDweller as well. Gives you a bit more variety. I love Rolex as much as the next person but seeing a picture of a collection with strictly new Rolex watches and models is pretty bland.

Go for the Lange bud!

I'd rather keep the annual calendar and lose the chronograph (platinum daytona)

For a datograph? neither. Do you have a need for the chronology complication?

Which to flip

I would definite flip the DD 40. Something about the fragmented/broken Roman numerals that I don’t care for. That is why when the opportunity arose I went for a DD2 with the Roman dial

I would say keep the watch that feels must comfortable on your wrist. For me that would be the Day-Date.

However you are talking about 2 very similar looking high quality watches.
