Keep what you have. You can buy all those watches one at a time. Enjoy building that collection.

I wouldn't go for quantity over quality.

If you fell like you are doubling up, what about a trade into really nice dress piece, or a half way house something like a Patek Aquanaut? It's gotta be hugely serious trade bait, given the demand.

Would I regret selling my BLNR for this?

You have a great two piece collection! There is no way I would let go of the Batman for any of those watches. I think you would be well served to add a chronograph down the road, and have a perfect land, air, sea collection.

Something like this maybe?

Borrowed pic.

I think selling it simply to replace with those others will leave something to be desired. Not to mention that picking up that many new pieces at once will make it difficult to appreciate any of them. If you do, you'll probably fall in love with one and the others will be quickly left out in the cold.

If you don't love the BLNR, get rid of it. Theres no use in having something around that you really don't love. Take your time, this isn't a race...

Never ever sell a Rolex......unless you’re broke and really need the $s.

I had the same 2 watches and recently sold the blnr for the Daytona. I do miss the blnr but don’t have any regrets trading it in for the Daytona. At the end of the day, having 2 similar watches in my small 3 watch collection became too much and I wanted something completely different.

However, I would never sell the blnr to get a bunch of cheaper watches. You will regret that for sure. Only way I’m getting rid of blnr is if I’m upgrading to something better.

BLNR is overhyped and just an ok watch.

Do what you want.

Definitely keep the BLNR, quality over quantity, as it was previously said...

Bad idea. You will regret it. Keep both and save for the Speedy down the road.

no way would I trade it for 5 pieces like that. I just flipped my own BLNR, but I'd only have considered parting with it for one piece that I loved more. traded mine for a BLRO; also thought about doing it for a lange 1815.
