Help me choose

So my current ss collection is here in this pic (black Sub, black Daytona, black Sky Dweller). If you guys had to sell one watch to fund another watch (thinking AP ROC). Which one would you sell?

All opinions welcome. I am currently leaning towards selling the Sky Dweller.

I'd KEEP the SkyD for 2 reasons: It's the only annual calendar by Rolex AND you'll be unique because you don't see one out in the wild very much. Everyone has a Sub / Daytona. Be unique.

Keep all three. Add a DD40. You’ll have a near perfect variety of watches.

Tell us what you wear and when? How long have you had each? How does each make you feel when wearing? What sparks joy and what does not?

I would sell the Sub as the rest of the world already owns one.

I will be one of the outliers here and say sell the Daytona. You will hopefully get more than you paid for it, and you will be adding a chronograph to replace the chronograph. The Sub is iconic and the Sky-D is a great complication on a classic style.

If you intend to get the black dial Roc crono, then ditch the Daytona. If not, ditch the sub as its the most ubiquitous of the 3 and easily replaced.

A shame to break such a great trio.

If you are getting a ROC sell the Daytona for it.. or the Sub. Or flip the Daytona to a Ceramic Daytona and sell the sub.

Sub. Compared to the other two, it's just too common.

Sell the Sub. They are everywhere and can easily be replaced with the new one coming soon.

Not sure why you ask a bunch of strangers on forum to help you choose this important decision, but I will be the odd bunch of the sheep and sell the daytona here.

That would be a tough choice for me. I’d likely not sell! If I was forced to part with one it would be the Daytona considering current market conditions.

Lose the Sub, it's the lesser of the three.

I have a similar collection and thought of getting rid of my sub many times as well but I always convinced myself to keep it because it’s the only watch with a ceramic bezel in my collection. Not sure how much that matters to you but a ceramic bezel is a must in any collection IMO.

I wouldn’t break these up unless it was for a color change (white Daytona, white or blue sky, or different colored sub/gmt). Sub, Daytona, and skyD are perfect together, you just need some color.
