Yeah...I'd keep all the subs. Unless you need the GMT function of the EXP2.

Nice collection
Bluesy, polar and one of the Subs depending on which one you like/wear the most. Blue, white and black dials checks a lot of boxes.

The 5513 is definitely a keeper, and probably the 16613. For the 3rd, I would keep either the 16570 or the 114060, depending on which you're more partial to; GMT function or ceramic bezel. If it were me, probably 5513/16613/16570

The omega is a goner for sure. If it we a 42mm 2500d, maybe not.

I'd keep the 5513 and trade the rest for a BLNR and a moonwatch.

i'll get rid of the 16570 polar (i never liked explorer II, i consider it as a GMT wannabe) and the Omega (not a match for Rolex)

Interesting responses, I'm also considering downsizing. I seem to wear the same watch almost everyday.

You should keep the ones you like the best and sell the rest
