Help me reduce this collection to five pieces

As the title suggests, I’m looking for the opinion of the experts to help get this theoretical collection down to 5 pieces.

I feel the BLRO should stay and a blue dial is needed but not sure what to eliminate to make spaces.

All opinions welcome.

Thank you.

Agreed. Although I love those 2 watches also those would be the ones to go if I had to pick from that collection.

It may not be helpful but you asked…I would sell the datejust and the explorer as they don’t do anything for me. I like your other Rolexes and if your going to own a speedmaster, you picked a great one.

I think WG for a PM is a bit of waste. Rose gold I can get behind but no blue dial options.

Additionally, for those that may suggest to keep the submariner as well as the date just my question to you is, don’t you feel that’s a bit too much green?

I am absolutely no expert but here is my what I’d do with your collection.

Sell these and use the remainder of the money to buy a yellow or everose gold Day-Date.

This gives you two phenomenal daily’s to share watch time with in the stainless Rolex’s. The Snoopy is just awesome and I’d love one to collect and wear sparingly. The Day-Date would be a little more of an occasion type watch that makes you feel different and special.

I would lean towards this suggestion.

If cutting down to 3 instead of 5, this would be my move as well.

My thoughts, exactly! Firstly, you have great taste. The green Datejust makes a great dress watch. No need for a Day Date. Certainly no need for three GMTs, so the Pepsi is the keeper!

Not a fan of 2-tone so that is a gone and then the Omega as well is gone. Just my opinion, good luck!

Keep 4 in my opinion:
Explorer - Rolex's nearly perfect watch.
BLRO or CHNR - draw for me here, Everose is great but Jubilee is equally great.
Speedy
Sub

Colors and functions don't end up overlapping as much and can be dressed up or down a good bit.

you can consolidate more.
Keep DJ, Pepsi, Batgirl and Snoopy. Rest are just repetitive.
