Which two watches should I flip?
Looking to acquire a JLC Reverso, ref #2718410, a timepiece I have long admired. Only problem, I have to make room and that means two of my four top watches have to go. Not so much for the money, but I'm not really a collector, and I can wear three watches enough to enjoy them.
As it is, I'm not wearing any of the four as much as I'd like, my dilemma is which two do I drop? The Planet Ocean seems like a logical first choice, but after that I'm really torn. And for the DateJust I also have a super Jubilee bracelet. I know that in the end it's my choice, but I've acquired the three Rolex's based on what I've learned on TRF (and what I like), so suggestions from the members here is valuable. Thanks for your input.

Keep the explorer and the 14060m, then flip a coin.
I'd probably lean toward flipping the Omega though.

I'd say the Omega and the Explorer. Having a Seamaster and Sub is sort of redundant. The Explorer since the DJ is a nice dress watch.

PO and DJ. No question. A sub, Explorer 1, JLC collection will cover all bases.

Omega and DJ for me, just because I prefer the slightly larger size of the Explorer.
That is one of my favourite DJ's however as I love that dial, but for me it would be the one to go.

Yup...Omega and Explorer gets my vote. Don't need two No Dates; and I prefer the 14060M.

Reverso will probably be used in the situations where you would have worn the DJ. Would take Sub over PO as a dive watch. So drop DJ and Omega

Keep the Sub and get rid of the Omega. Toss a coin to decide between the other two. Personally, I'd keep the Explorer because dress watches don't suit me.

Nice collection. The two I would sacrifice would be the PO and explorer.
