Sell the explorer and GMT.
Actually, it’s a very personal decision, so asking on the forum will likely not net you the best answer. |

Same.
Keep the GMT for sure, then one more for variety. Why keep the GMT: - Does everything the Sub can when it comes to realistic 'diving' - Also has GMT function which is likely the mostly useful complication ever - Similar size/weight as the sub many would say "They're the same watch" - If you ever change your mind, a Sub is easier to add back than a GMT due to the relative hype - Looks more interesting than the sub |

I had one in 40mm with the maxi case; well, the time we still can walk in and get something right away from Rolex. Then I sold it. Then I missed it and traded in for the same model. I sold it again. Last year, again, bought the 41mm sub... When I hold it, I feel bored. I don't have it; I miss the look, the functionality, and the robustness. Here we are again. |

I think the Sub is a wonderful (maybe the best) one-watch. If it's your only watch you can't get bored with it since it's the only one you have and you are stuck with it. This worked for me for a long time back in the day before the collecting bug bit me again. But in a collection it can get boring and lost in the shuffle. Having said that, I feel the exact same way about the Explorer which I have a similar history with the Sub. Great as an only watch, boring and lost in the shuffle in a collection. I had no problems wearing it everyday when it was my only nice watch, but I almost never wore it once I got other watches. So I think I'm going to change my mind and contradict myself. I now think you should just keep the Cartier and one of the Rolexes (BLNR would be my pick by a mile). Because the Sub and Explorer don't really work well in a collection imo. |

I’d keep a dress and a tool. All of the Rolexes are variations on both. Since the Cartier is not a tool, I’d go with “tooliest” Rolex. Keep the Sub and Tank.

Agreed with this reasoning. The Rolex are all variations on a theme. The Cartier is a classic that stands on its own. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Impossible to answer for you. What is your wear pattern like? Which do you wear the most/least?
