Trade opinion to complete a three Rolex Collection

Currently have have a BLRO on Oyster , DJ41 blue fluted on Jubilee, and two tone black sub (purchased new two weeks ago).

Would like to get your opinion if it’s a bad move to trade the TT sub + omega 300m white for a new Batgirl.

Downside is I lose my diver watches although I never dive and don’t ever plan to.

Upside is I will have a jubilee bracelet to switch around between the BLRO and BLRN.

Either way, I would like to keep only three Rolexes on my collection.

Personally I would not do that trade. I would find having two GMT’s redundant, but YMMV

I’d say they are too similar.

Keep what you have and buy the jubilee bracelet.

I don’t like the TT Sub and the Omega but I would not do that trade. You already have a BLRO and the BLNR is basically the same watch with a different bezel.

No trade.

I’d rather have a Submariner and an Omega vs. 2 GMTs.

No. You have a GMT.

What’s your reason for wanting to complete the trade? You’ve only had the sub 2 weeks so was it not what you expected?

I wouldn’t do the trade. You have a land/sea/air trio now.

Unanimous. Good call. Whew, glad I asked :)

If you were in my shoes, would you give have the two tone sub for a LV?

Don't get me wrong, I love the sub but trying to weigh my options available based solely on the market situation.

In other words, trying to get creative.

Thank you gents!

I tried to explain above but also would like to know what can make a better three watch collection without shoving out more money, as I totally lost interest in my omega 300m.

Most likely keeping all three but the LV is rather a thought. Sub two tone black is very versatile.

Trade for BLNR or LV.

Not sure of the new question but IMHO an LV would be a good choice with your GMT and DJ41.

Full disclosure - Not a fan of the TT - YMMV

If I got rid of one, it would be the TT. I’d replace that with a SD4k. *drools*

If it was me I will trade your newly acquired TT sub with an LV sub.

I definitely wouldn't give the sub away. You can sell your Omega and buy a Jubilee bracelet for your BLRO. This allows you to leave your great Rolex trio the way it is, but you can change your GMT from time to time.

This is the correct answer. :)

I would choose the LV over the TT Sub. The white 300M is a nice piece, but if it had to go, so be it. They're replaceable and could potentially be obtained at a lower cost in the future.

You have a Pepsi … no way I would want a second gmt in a small collection.

Would look at a submariner (no date).
