Help me narrow my collection down to just two.....

Hi guys I've got to confess I have become a bit obsessed with collecting watches recently and have decided that as much as I love them all when you have so many you don't get to enjoy them as much!

I have two in mind that I really want to keep and just seeing if anyone comes up with the same suggestions as me. Here is my collection if you could keep just two models what would it be your perfect duo?

126334 DJ41 Steel/WG Wimbledon Dial
114060 Sub no date
126710BLNR Batman jubilee
126711CHNR rootbeer
126710BLRO Pepsi jubilee
126610LV New 41mm SubC Cermit/Starbucks

Thanks in advance

Sub and BLRO...iconic configurations.

Use the proceeds from selling the others to go AP, PP, or whatever other high horology catches your fancy.

I’d go Batman and rootbeer out of those.
But if selling off to fund 2 new ones is an option, I’d have plenty of ideas...

We all have different tastes

For me I’m not too keen on the new GMTs. For various reasons, no point going into.

As an owner of the previous ceramic green sub, that would always be my pick. So that’s easy to rule out the new green sub and the GMTs

So it would be the classic black dial/bezel no date sub and the DJ for me. Great diversity there. Although I would be tempted to get the new no date sub.

I can tell you that doing a very big effort I would trade only the DJ and the Sub No data (because I like more the new reference); the 3 GMTs and the new Kermit are definitely not transferable.

Based solely on looks/versatility, and not taking into account value or difficulty to reacquire ...

CHNR and 41mm LV, but man, your collection is so good you should really find a way to keep 3!

Oh it's hard to say. I am a GMT fan so one of them has to be GMT. Not BLRO so between the BLRO and CHNR. I like both TT and Jubilee as well as both Rootbeer and Pepsi color combo. I pick BLRO. No, wait, CHNR. Final answer... Pepsi is the original and Jubilee is just too comfortable, so I guess I will have to go BLRO. Second watch has gotta be between the DJ and the Cermit. Two GMTs would be too much and black ND Sub is too plain for me. Since you already have the Jubilee BLRO in the mix that can be dressed both up and down, I'll go Cermit. Although I agree with noshame, you should find a way to keep 3. CHNR+BLRO+LV would be an amazing combo.
