Here I was thinking I was the only one with parting problems with one of my collection when a new one comes in. I just might advice you keep all lol.

If you had to get rid of one, explorer. Personally doesn’t really do a whole lot for me and dare I say a little too ‘plain’

Big DJ fan, but do you need 2 x white gold fluted bezels?

Keep all 4. You have Land, Air and Sea along with a Classic DJ. I have similar references.

I think there is more overlap between the DJ 41 and SkyD with regards to "covering your bases." That being said, I would still opt to let go of the Explorer over the DJ 41 just out of personal preference. You have a perfect configuration of the DJ in my opinion, and the blue adds some color to your current line-up with the black dial SubC and white dial SkyD.

I am not a DJ fan except the SS/WG Blue face.

Let the Exp go or keep it as the knock around and sell nothing.

The DJ and SkyD are almost redundant. I had both in blue. Now I have neither but got rid of the DJ towards my SD4K.

Keep all four for a while, and then determine which needs to go. Let the decision come to you...

The DJ would go. Not a fan of the 41mm.

I would keep the explorer just because it would make a better fit in your 3 watches collection. If I were you, I would keep all four for now and give it some time before you decide, the answer usually becomes obvious after a while, unless you need the money now, wait.
