The story behind that Kermit is "I once sold it to a TRF member named DRTII that really wanted it"

I know, it's an interesting story.

I would sell the Sub [ date] especially since you favor the ND .
Next would be Kermit...

Add a SS Daytona ... Super collection Add a Batman - Superb collection !

Maybe I'm wrong, but I look at your collection from a different perspective. I almost feel that maybe you don't really want anything else but a sub. Which is fine, who really needs DJ's or Daytona, or GMT's. So my idea would be to sell three pieces, whatever three you want, and add a four digit 5513, a 1680 and a 16800. Awesome collection of six subs.

Funny this is the only diversification in the group besides
the DJ.., Bluesy stays as it’s not only iconic as a sub but
gorgeous IRL...

DJ and ND Sub or one of the LV’s go ...

Why Kermit? Hulk is nicer and Kermit is redundant.

Why Sub Date? ND Sub is better looking IMO and you wear it often vs. Sub Date (I am guessing it’s a favorite of yours).

That would create an INCREDIBLE Rolex collection.

I agree with the above. The Sub Date is a great for a one Rolex collection, but with multiples the Sub ND is more classic. Besides, you have other Subs with Date.

I like your perspective and you would be correct, I love the sub! It is the model that appeals to me the most and then the Daytona comes a close second.

Good thoughts of the 4 and 5 digit subs though.

I consider the 2 flat 4 LV’s my “collector pieces” so for me personally they are off the table but I like hearing other people’s views on this as I might be seeing my collection in a way that others won’t.

Thanks Todd, it’s a Regal Six by Regal Vaults. It’s a beautifully made watch safe and couldn’t be happier with it. It’s a bonus the service i got from them was as good as their safes.

I'd sell one of the LVs and the Sub Date, since you don't wear it. Keep the Datejust.

I can appreciate that. I’ve got an irrational devotion to my 16610. I’d swap it for a 14060M in a second if it wasn’t my first.

I would normally not recommend someone sell a Kermit. But I don’t think you need two in that collection. Also don’t listen to me I have an arm full of GMTs.
