Sell the GMT for massive profit, wait and buy again at retail.

It's bad luck to sell a watch in less than 5 years.

I’m gonna be “that guy” I would sell the GMT as I would never use it for what’s its for. The 114060 has a special place with me so that would stay, it’s nice to have a sports and a dress with date. For me I use my 114060 when I dive so a date is not needed.

Just my 2 cents.

Sell either the Sub and DJ or BLNR and DJ, and buy a Daytona.

Sub and Daytona or BLNR and Daytona, are IMO a perfect combo.

I would be more inclined to keep the BLNR since it has the jubilee bracelet and offers more variation that having two on oysters.

Congrats! That’s a great 3 piece collection that I believe most folks would enjoy across their lifetime!

If it were me I would:
Pause
Wear all 3 watches for 6 months
Then, reconsider your position

Feels like you need one on Oyster and one on Jubilee.

If you are in a rush, sell the DJ. I’m a sports reference guy, so my opinion is impacted by that. I will always have a Sub and a GMT (or 2).

I think it looks better with a white gold bezel myself

Lucky man to be in this position ! Tough choice for sure - like picking a favorite child

Nice to be able to hold onto the 3 and decide - If you can force yourself to wear each one for a week straight - by the end of the 3 weeks you'll have a pretty good idea which one to let go .

Honestly with the The Sub & DJ - You had an enviable if not perfect 2 watch " collection" - That damn BLNR is the monkey wrench in the spokes LOL

Finances allow, keep all three for a while and see how you feel about them before making any moves.

Thank you! Yes, actually my original plan was to add the DJ41 to my Sub for my “perfect duo.” But that d@mn BLNR had to ruin everything!

Yes, flip it. There isn’t a Rolex code that says you have to keep the watch. You bought it, you can do whatever you want to with it.

The Sub and the BLNR fill the same role - as hard as it would be for me I would sell the Sub.

Tough one. I’d personally find it very easy to keep the DJ and the Submariner out of those 3.

All three are great pieces, I’d be patient about deciding BUT I think the DJ41 is a better looking watch with the fluted bezel so ultimately easy for me to let that one go.

This. The GMT and Sub are too similar if you don't want to keep all 3.

Sell the sub, get an oyster bracelet for the DJ from RSC and call it a day.
