Can’t decided which watch to sell - Need help

[Poohsan]

OK, so I am thinking about of selling one or more of the watches in my collection. I’m having a hard time deciding which one or two will go.

Here is in my collection:
1) Red Submariner 1680 (374xxxx)
2) White Submariner 1680 Project (393xxxx)
3) Submariner 16610 (Y-series)
4) GMT Master II 16710 (P-series)
5) Tudor Chronograph 79170 Big Block (B-series)

Thoughts so far:
1) Red Submariner 1680 - I know for sure I will keep this watch. It is from my birth year and it is the one I wear the most.

2) White Submariner 1680 Project - I can’t decide if I should sell the parts or finish the project. The parts are good as spares for my Red but it is a shame to have so much money tied up in this project. I need to look at the market to see if it is really worth putting more money into this or not. This watch has a serial number that falls inside of the Red range so will it hold its value?

3) Submariner 16610 - The first Rolex I ever purchased. This watch gets a lot of wrist time. This is also my Bar-B-Q watch. The count down bezel helps with the stakes.

4) GMT Master II 16710 - My most versatile watch with 3 different bezels and 2 bracelets. I use this more when I travel but less when I stay in the States. I could keep this and sell the Submariner 16610 as they are very similar to each other.

5) Tudor Chronograph 79170 – This is a fantastic watch but it never gets any wrist time. It’s in great condition and has an amazing set of paper work. I have a hard time wearing it as I’m worried about it getting scratched.

I haven’t figured out what will be my next Rolex. Up till this point my current collection had all my bases covered. I don’t have any interest in 2-tone watches or a Daytona. Solid gold is interesting but looks awful on my skin tone.

At this point I’m considering:
a) GMT 1675 (3.5mil – 3.7mil)
b) Sub 5512/5513
c) Money in the bank
d) ???

I’m interested in other TRF member's opinions.

I say sell the Tudor for sure, the other watch I'd sell would be the sub, but it's also your first watch, which makes it harder to sell :/

My :
Sell the Tudor.

I would imagine that at some point in the future you just might regret having sold a Rolex. And for God's sake: Do not *ever* sell your first Rolex! The only way to part with "the first" is to hand it down/on as a gift, imo. :)

I would sell my body for prostitution before I would sell the Rolex Red Sub
Submariner!!! I know that much.

I would sell the Tudor and the 1680 white out of those.
Good luck in your decision.
Keep the Red Sub!!!

I vote for the tuder. It's already getting little
wrist time as it is.

Sell the 16610. You have 3 Subs, and can easily get another 16610. The 16710 could take over the routine wear role of the 16610.

Tudor!!

I would sell the Tudor and finish the 16610!! Keep the Subs for sure!

X2. Good luck.

Sell #5 and keep the rest

[colpol]

I think you've already answered the question for the one to defo sell - 5 for defo as not getting any wrist time

No 2 you've already got a sub - wy not sell the white sub & look for something different

Another vote to let the Tudor go

[Poohsan]

I’m leaning towards selling the White 1680 and picking up a GMT 1675.

The Tudor can be second on the list to go after that.

The question is do I put more into the 1680 to get it ready to sell or sell it as is? This project needs: crown, tube, and bezel assembly with out the insert.
