Hulk
Kermit

--GMT Line --
Ceramic black
Ceramic pepsi jubilee
Ceramic Batman oyster
Gmt Coke

-- Daytona Line --
Ceramic Daytona Black

Now you spot some investment opportunities and must trim down your collection to 4-5watches. What are you going to keep? Thank you for your inputs in advance.

Welcome to the forum.

I guess if you’re trying to get the most money out of your collection, you’d sell the ones that are worth the most.

I’d keep one if each complication and sell the rest

Should be pretty straightforward since you only have 3 different models in multiple configurations and colors. Pick your favorite from each model line and you will have 3 great watches and recoup some $$ for investing.

I'd definitely deep these three:
Hulk
Coke
White Steel Daytona

Rest are getting good market prices, I'd sell them all.

No photos? All those highly sought-after pieces? Brand new to the forum? I'm calling BS!

That being said, keep the all the Daytonas and wear the Pepsi.

This is spot on.

You're going to get multiple answers based upon our subjective tastes and thoughts. It's your collection and you have favorites, keep those and move the ones you don't wear as much.

Keep:

Pepsi
Coke
Black Daytona ceramic
White Daytona stainless

Could also see keeping panda and black steel Daytona.

I picked based on which I like best, though Hulk and Panda will free up the most money.

Are these answers helping OP?

So far every one has been different in their preferences (which is exactly what you'd expect!).

I would keep the steel white Daytona, Gmt coke and Kermit. I would dump everything else. Why? Most of the watches I recommend getting rid of are either in production and/or hype model that are mass marketed and would be easily repurchased. You have a nice collection and have scratched the Rolex itch. If it’s time to move on, then do it and don’t look back.

I'd mostly trim them all except maybe the Ceramic white because it's the most iconic Rolex. or if you have the panna cotta then keep that one instead.

A green aquanaut can take the place of the flashy green you wanted with the hulk and kermit. It's just a few more levels up so i'd probably move up to get that instead.

GMT, i guess i'd have to keep one because it's an icon. So out of these, the coke if it's a 16760 Fat Lady. if it ain't a fat lady then probably dump all to grab blueberry or meteorite GMT.

Daytonas, honestly i'd get rid of all of them and try to move a 4 digit tropical dial. What's more iconic than that and better for eggplant measuring contests than that?

I'd basically consolidate and move up. Too many of these stainless and it's redundant.

Because they're the best variants. Because that's what I would want. I like ceramic bezel.

I'd keep:

116610LV
16610LV

126710BLRO

116520 White
116500LN Black

It's really tough to go wrong with any of those watches you own though. I like to add, not sell if possible.
