Too much of a good thing?

I own two 116710's a LN and a BLNR. Contemplating selling the BLNR and getting either an older 16710 Pepsi (I'm a bit of a travel nut) which would have the added flexibility of being able to change bezel inserts. Or a white dial Daytona 116520 (I'm on the list for a 500 but that's about 2 years away) but I do already have a Lange 1815 Chrono and a Speedy Pro.

Thoughts?

Definitely lose one of the 116710s.

The three chronos you mention are quite different. Different histories, level of detail etc. I think they could all co-exist quite nicely!

I'd keep the BLNR and sell the LN but the BLNR one of my favorite modern Rolex. I'd hold out for the 116500LN also as with your watches time will fly by and you have great options.

Thanks for the suggestions! One suggestion I'm not going to follow though is going gold. When you use the GMT to travel it can get dinged easily enough without having it in softer precious metal. My preference is to spend money on a better movement and not on precious metal.

Still thinking through getting rid of LN or BLNR...
