These three watches are very similar - divers style, oyster bracelet, turning bezel, black dial - I would get rid of of them. The 16710 being versatile with the two bracelet options and different bezel inserts that add color I would keep it.

14060m (Sub 40mm, 2011)
16710 (GMT 40mm, 2002)
16660 (Sea Dweller 40mm, 1984)

Explorer II Was my pick , too. Great minds and all that ….

Why do you have to get rid of one? Only let go what you don't like or don't wear. If I were in charge of your collection and I had to eliminate one piece for some reason, I'd let the 36 mm Explorer go.

I think you'd be crazy to sell the speedy. It's a classic.

So is everything else, all classic references apart from the new explorer.

I would sell the EXPII. The 36mm exp is such a simple and classic watch. Small elegant, sporty, versatile, must keep, sell the II.

The Explorer II and the 16710 GMT II are essentially redundant. Although they're both great pieces, I'd keep the GMT and let the Exp II go. If you really want to keep both of those, I'd let the 36 Explorer go.

It's weird being the same age as old people.

I would dump the gmt master 2, the sub and the omega because gmt master looks like a toy designed for under 10 year old kids, the sub is boring and everyone has one and the omega because it's an omega.

Exp 2 is the best sports watch Rolex makes, and the exp 1 36mm is like the only watch that has remained effectively the same since 1953 - must account for something. Sea dweller is a beast and trumps a sub everyday and twice on sunday.

The 36mm Explorer provides contrast to all of the other watches and needs to stay.

Of that group I would say the Speedmaster because in my collection it’s the one I wear the least and it is the easiest to replace.
