Sell the GMT llC and buy a Pepsi Gmt and pocket the diff. Then you would have the 3 Classic Rolexs. Then sit back relax and enjoy them for the rest of your life. What more could one want

AGREED....100%. And if you can add on the new Super Jubilee, then you'd be an outright winner!!

I may be biased, but I'd sell the Daytona, you lose less money on that one.
You said if you loved them equally, so then it comes to the number game.
Both GMT-IIc and Sub Date will have bigger drop in selling price (I think), so why not get more out of your 'investment' now, and spend it later.

Of all the three, I'd say I like Sub-Date the LEAST. Too common, too 'classic' for my taste, and too many 'homege' watches to stand out.

YMMV

Well...if you are in need of a quick deal...the Sub Date would be the easiest to unload...but it really depends on if you want to hold on to the "classic" rolex sports watch...or do you lean toward the new?

Daytona and GMT are more versatile watches.

I'd sell the biggest ticket item now, the Daytona.
then I'd sell the Sub Date.

then find a good deal on a Sea Dweller, and keep the GMTIIc.

but thats what I'd do, what would make you happiest is more
important.

I'll pick GMT-II C.
You'll be able to find this one for years to come as well.

Sub date. Besides the rumored redesign, the resale value of it is pretty good and you can use the money to fund your new, redesigned sub date purchase.

Sell The Daytona.

It can be replaced later probably for less than you can get one for now - if you are quick.

The general consensus is the sub date may be the classic Rolex, but they're too common. It's even worse when you factor in the copy cats and fakes.
