WHOA! Which one to choose?
The itch has been getting stronger and stronger to move up into the Rolex precious metal side. I've also been trying for a Patek in the Aquanut family but not getting very far on that quest. So I've been on the search for that gold Rolex watch.
I have narrowed it down to the everose Day-Date with the green dial, a white gold Day-Date with the meteorite diamond dial, a white gold blue Submariner or the white gold GMT with the meteorite dial. Not sure exactly why these, except that I like them and they are truly not the norm. To make it all happen, I would have to move pieces out of my collection since I dont want to pull money out of my pocket. So the question is, what would you push out to make the venture happen or do you do nothing at all and just keep everything status quo? At the end of the day it's only a watch and there are more things precious and important. I'm truly not tied down to any of the watches except that I am truly blessed to have acquired them. I'm fairly casual when it comes to my dress attire since my suit days are gone; pretty much sweats and jeans person. The JC Deepsea is a hands down keeper since it's my main go to. I also have a white dial to go with the black dial 116520 as well as the oyster flex strap. I also have a super jubilee to go with whatever. I look forward to hearing eveyones thought process. Since have been racking my brain out, aggravating my wife and my kids with watch pictures and questions. Let the fun and bantering begin. |

I’d sell off entire back row (minus that Pepsi), the dress watch, all Brietling, IWC and that orange bezel (Omega?)
The rest are keepers!!! And great watches every one. Congrats on great collection! I also love GMT WG Meteorite! You might also consider Rose Gold GMT Rootbeer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

What’s in the back right? 16750?
I’d keep that one, the BLNR, the Sub, the SubLVc, the white Daytona 500 and the Cameron DS. To the rest (might even be able to add 2 PM’s) |

Very nice! Shit...with that collection, I’d keep on trucking lol.
Since you’re collection is mostly Rolex and you’re leaning towards another, dump all the non-Rolex. How often do you honestly wear those with all those other beauties? Or keep them all, wear them all and wait until your AD gives you the call on one from your list. Unless that itch is too strong... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Great collection! I’d keep all Rolex and the AP. Rest can go. Good luck with deciding!

Looks like a Grey Dealer’s display case.

...On second though, maybe hang onto the dress watch. I doubt you'd get much for it, and it fills a void in your collection. |

The Everose Day Date or really any of your choices sounds like a winner to diversify your already "Very Delghtful" collection. That looks confusing to pick from what and how many to sell though, that could be the toughest part. Good Luck and Happy Choosing..

I would clean up that collection massively. IMHO you've got too much money in some of those pieces and I'd bet you never wear most of them.
I would sell all of them except the AP 15400, BLRO and White Ceramic Daytona. The rest would be long gone. |

I would keep the ones I circled. The rest; pure liquidity for those precious metal beauties. Don’t look back.

The estate sales in 40 years are going to run by Phillips.

Keep the pepsi in the last row, then sell the last row, sell the entire second row and the Iwc in the first row, keep the rest of the first row. Now your collection has all Rolex divers, GMT and Chronographs, and for diversity you have what is that an AP? Add PM Rolex. There you go solved. My .02. Great post thanks for sharing.

I’d move them all but one SS and get 2-3 awesome PM pieces. You can’t wear all these

Will still have to sell something else so I dont pull money out of my pocket. Thinking the non ceramic Daytona, the Hulk or 50th, one GMT's(depending what I get) and possibly the nd Sub. Not all of them unless I go all out and get two gold models.
