I personally am not a fan of the YM so that would go imo. I also honestly believe that your Exp II will not see the light of day once you strap on the new BLNR so I would part with both.

I sold my Exp II for my BLNR and never gave it a second thought to be honest.

That's a tough call-like the ExpII, never have been a huge fan of the YM for me personally, although it is still a fine looking piece. I'd either flip the YM and get the BLNR or consider selling both, purchase the BLNR and keep any extra funds around towards your next watch purchase.

Sell both for BLNR, you probably won't wear the others much anyway.

otisc · 31 January 2015, 12:50 AM

Sell both, get the BLNR. Let's be honest -- if you get the BLNR by keeping one of them, is that watch going to get any wrist time at all? No way, it's going to be BLNR 24/7. So rather than have that older piece sitting in your drawer like a museum piece, put it towards something that is going to give you joy right now. The BLNR is spectacular.

When I am in the same situation, I evaluate which watch sits in the safe the most time. Often I will take that piece and start to wear it to confirm the lacking passion. I try and anticipate after acquiring the next piece, will I miss it. I really loved my TT Daytona MOP but knew when a 5070 came my way, it was the right piece to sell. I voted number 3

Sell both, pick up a BLNR!

x65975 · 31 January 2015, 05:41 AM

I would sell the Explorer. But you won't get more than $3,000 for it. So keep saving and enjoy the Explorer until you have enough... No need to sell it now!

bbressler · 31 January 2015, 06:19 AM

I think the BLNR will become your de facto everyday watch so I'd sell both. If the Exp II has the white dial I might be tempted to keep it to switch up dial colo. It also provides a more under the radar, discreet option.

Lots of nice and wise guys voted for 3).

Is the BLNR really worth two classic Rolex (one with the most exclusive material in the world, Pt)?

CabbageHead · 31 January 2015, 09:01 AM

Bye bye Explorer and $$, hello BLNR!

time · 31 January 2015, 07:53 PM

I follow what you advise...
1) and 3).

Yachtmaster will go. Then let's see.

However, lose some $£$. YM is not that popular in Europe as the rest of the world. I think PT is nice.

Mr DateJust · 31 January 2015, 10:11 PM

As much as I love the Exp 2 and the YM I don't think either would get worn much if at all once you had the GMT so I would sell both.

Rolex addict · 31 January 2015, 10:34 PM

Option 4. Keep all and buy the BLNR.

If not, I'd go all in on the GMT. Could easily fill every need in a watch.
Otherwise, I'd keep the ExpII and get the BLNR.

This is good advice
