SOTC - Which one to get rid of

While I wait for a certain unobtainable piece, I'm thinking of letting go of one of these... I'm more of a vintage lover but some new pieces have really caught my attention. What do you think should go first?!

Tough choice- I’d let the YG DD go first, as that is (relatively) easy to re-acquire
later if you have seller’s remorse. And better addition to the bank account. I’m also just not a YG kind of person, the WG I really like. YMMV.

not sure about this tbh, those day dates look like 1803s? most likely not easy to reacquire those. i'd get rid of one of the subs personally

Maybe put off buying until you can just add?

I can add without getting rid of, its just that once I add its less wrist time for one of these...

the YG DD has a dial I have only seen on 3 others, its basically irreplaceable

Eventually, get a no date.

One of the subs or the white gold DD. Love that that yellow gold DD adds some diversity and fun to your collection - None of the others can offer what it does

Touché, sir. I yield to your Rolex fund of knowledge.

What I love about TRF- I’m always learning.

I agree with this sentiment… once I get more than 4-5 watches, I find they don’t get rotated enough. While I’m not a personal fan of PM or 1803s, for your collection I’d move the 16610. I think the 16710 and 126610 cover the same basic spots in your collection/rotation as that 16610.

Oh man. From my experience, I wouldn’t get rid of any of those. All great watches. If you can pull it off, I’d suggest you add the ones you want.

I'd go with the one that you currently wear the least.

I'd get rid of the pre ceramic sub. Those always looked/felt cheap to me. Just my opinion though.

Agree on one of the Subs, reduce redundancy first.

None?

But forced to decide, maybe the modern sub if you don't like the modern features?
