Another vote to keep what you have, especially the GMT. If you absolutely have to trade your best bet in my opinion would be a YG GMT w black face

That's the perfect watch. My choice would be to keep the BLRO, sell the Bluesy and put some extra $$ with it and add the Smurf.

I love YG (have the DD40) and also have the smurf. I would not do the trade. I think you have two fantastic pieces there, very versatile.

BLRO looks good for a daily if you've worn it almost a year. Go gold. You don't need a steel watch.

My advice would be to keep the BLRO because it’s nice to have a SS model when you own a PM. Save a bit and trade the TT+cash for the PM model you prefer

Love the DD although you have 2 classics there in my humble opinion. GMT during the week, TT Sub for holidays and high days.

Maybe save up of the full YG piece and have it in addition, what a collection you would have then. All bases covered.
This. Sounds like a plan for the future.

I'd keep the blro and trade up the sub for a full gold version, white or yellow. Doesn't matter which one, as long as it's the right watch for you.

Get a DD proved history it take anything day to day wear and will never go out of style. The surf will get old quick as you get older.

No wrong answer here. The Smurf would be a bad ass daily.

The DD40 WG Blue is beautiful and you will love the bracelet.

I probably wear my DD40s most out of my whole collection.

I'll be honest, I wouldn't.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all about PM. Not a hater. I have several PM pieces in my collection. But, you're not going to get the bang for your buck with one really great watch when you already have two great watches. Just my two cents.

For me it would be extremely hard to let those two go.

BLRO+Bluesy into a Full Gold?

I prefer PM, and in the past I have made the trade down to only having one watch, and it was a PM. I missed having choices. I have several different watches, now. 2 PM. You have 2 great watches. I could not go to 1 watch. I won’t do it again.

For a daily, WG suits my needs. YMMV

Many opinions here...Not sure if your tired or underwhelmed with your two or your $ situation. On one hand I dont see the point of PM in a sports piece but I'm not always logical and I do love the Smurf. If it were me I'd lose the Bluesey and add for the Smurf.

BLRO and a DayDate is the ultimate combo in my opinion!

Try not to replace unless you really don't like the watch. Save up for FULL GOLD

All I wear is my DD40 in everose. It is a perfect everyday watch. But I do have my GMT II LN for travelling if I am going somewhere not safe or if it is a trip with lots of beach or hiking.

Some really excellent comments here causing me to pause. These are two really great watches. I find myself struggling to choose which one to wear on most days.

I think if I was going to do it, it would either be a Smurf or the WG Pepsi GMT.

Reality is that it took me a long time to get to having these two watches. So adding a third PM watch is unlikely, and potentially converting the Bluesy into a PM would be difficult but not impossible.

On the plus side, after a couple weeks of searching, there is almost no full gold Rolex kicking around in Canada at the moment, so I may have no choice but to let this urge subside for the time being.

Thanks again.
