Well then, I hope you are ready to trade everything you chose because you didn't end up making any of the choices I did.

Then keep all three long enough to determine which two you yes YOU wear the most.

Yep...me too. I had a D-Blue, but just prefer the 43 as it's more "wearable". And the bluesy is one of my all-time favorites.

But...that's me. Let's talk about you...

I would let go the bluesy if can only keep two. It should be easy to purchase in the future if changing mind, and/or with new movement/design upgrade

Speaking for myself

A long and expensive road led me back to a TT "Bluesy". My choice for a "keeper".

Me too, don't need the DB as the Bluesy has a blue dial and a nicer one imho.

I'm in the same boat, keep Bluesy and SD43. Wearing the Deepblue daily might be the least comfy of the three.

LB and SD 43. DSSD and SD would be somewhat redundant. The LB is different from both even though they are all divers.

This strategy makes perfect sense.
Otherwise i say keep all 3 until your preference becomes clearer in time.

Goodness gracious, thank goodness I don't have to ask where do you want to eat tonight...
Keep the two you like.
The two watches that are more comfortable.
The two watches which give the most flexibility.
If not keep all three. If not flip a coin.
If not keep the two I like, black Daytona and SD43.
