2. Which is your least favorite? YM
3. Which would be your daily? BLNR
4. Do I need a Platinum Daytona? No
5. Other comments welcome. No thoughts of variation? It's 4 watches on the exact same Oyster w/ PCL, 3 of which have the same dial layout. Which wouldn't be repetitive if you had a ten watch collection but seems a bit monotonous when it's your only 4.

I’d keep the Pepsi and sell the rest at a (probably) profit.
Is the Pepsi white gold or steel?

You may want another watch, but you do not need one. You are well covered in the watch department. Should you want the platinum Daytona. It would be a super addition to your collection for sure.

1. Which is your favorite? GMT WG
2. Which is your least favorite? Yacht master
3. Which would be your daily? GMT WG or BLNR
4. Do I need a Platinum Daytona? You need water and food, you don’t need a Platona
5. Other comments welcome. Nice collection, how do I believe it can be improved? Brand variety, I would sell the YM, and add something on leather. Patek or VC or JLC most likely.

I’m a fan, obviously, but why are you limiting yourself to Rolex? Plenty of other amazing timepieces out there…

The WG pepsi is a great watch - not sure what advice you’re looking for. But I see no reason not to add a platinum Daytona you clearly like blue.

Lovely 4 watch collection. If you’re happy that’s all that matters.

For me, all are fairly similar and very blue. I’m not a YM fan and your 2 x GMTs overlaps so I’d loose the YM and one of your GMTs and then look at maybe a Daydate if you want to stay with Rolex or preferably another brand

Very nice. My favorite is the PM BLRO. Not a fan of the YM in the collection, with what you have. I’d probably go one GMT, the Panda, and a more “discrete” piece like a black sub. If you wanted more flash I’d go with a LV sub instead.

I think many (including myself) go through similar evolutions as you have. Namely daytona + multiple sports Rolexes with a rotating bezel, usually GMT's in multiple colors. This obviously made even more sense during the bubble period. But then after a period of time the diversity of different GMT's starts feeling same so you get the PM piece like you have with the WG pepsi blue dial.

After that you yearn for the next step up the ladder which is the Platona.

I would share peronally that after the Platona I haven't felt much of an urge for another Rolex so the end game brought by the Platona has been very enduring. I still look at the other watches because I still think they are beautiful in the watch box for what they are, but I rarely put them on now. This left me with Platona + beater GMT as the main rolexes in rotation. After that I departed for the crazier world of other brands.

And full disclosure, while I once thought a platinum dd was the grail for me, as I got older and within reach of the price tag it did nothing for me on the wrist, which is why I don't mention a DD above.
