Trade opinion to complete a three Rolex Collection
Currently have have a BLRO on Oyster , DJ41 blue fluted on Jubilee, and two tone black sub (purchased new two weeks ago).
Would like to get your opinion if it’s a bad move to trade the TT sub + omega 300m white for a new Batgirl. Downside is I lose my diver watches although I never dive and don’t ever plan to. Upside is I will have a jubilee bracelet to switch around between the BLRO and BLRN. Either way, I would like to keep only three Rolexes on my collection. |

Personally I would not do that trade. I would find having two GMT’s redundant, but YMMV

I’d say they are too similar.
Keep what you have and buy the jubilee bracelet.

I don’t like the TT Sub and the Omega but I would not do that trade. You already have a BLRO and the BLNR is basically the same watch with a different bezel.

No trade.
I’d rather have a Submariner and an Omega vs. 2 GMTs. |

No. You have a GMT.

What’s your reason for wanting to complete the trade? You’ve only had the sub 2 weeks so was it not what you expected?
I wouldn’t do the trade. You have a land/sea/air trio now. |

Unanimous. Good call. Whew, glad I asked :)
If you were in my shoes, would you give have the two tone sub for a LV? Don't get me wrong, I love the sub but trying to weigh my options available based solely on the market situation. In other words, trying to get creative. Thank you gents! |

Most likely keeping all three but the LV is rather a thought. Sub two tone black is very versatile. |

Not sure of the new question but IMHO an LV would be a good choice with your GMT and DJ41.
Full disclosure - Not a fan of the TT - YMMV

If I got rid of one, it would be the TT. I’d replace that with a SD4k. *drools*

If it was me I will trade your newly acquired TT sub with an LV sub.

I definitely wouldn't give the sub away. You can sell your Omega and buy a Jubilee bracelet for your BLRO. This allows you to leave your great Rolex trio the way it is, but you can change your GMT from time to time.

I would choose the LV over the TT Sub. The white 300M is a nice piece, but if it had to go, so be it. They're replaceable and could potentially be obtained at a lower cost in the future.

You have a Pepsi … no way I would want a second gmt in a small collection.
Would look at a submariner (no date).
