You really pay attention to detail and I truly appreciate your opinion. Yes, Daytona 116520 was my first Rolex to celebrate my 40th birthday and most likely my keeper watch. Thank you.

All of them! JK!! It would be very tough for me, I would want the Pepsi and the Daytona both are priceless and legends. So if it’s one only , which gets the most wrist time out of all of them, there is your answer.


Cheers,

116520 since it was your first but also because it’s so timeless and comfortable.
Replacing it when times are better will be much harder now that it’s been discontinued for close to a decade.
The white 116520 is the last watch I’d part with in my collection.
It’s the one watch that gives me that little happy feeling every time I look at it.

I agree, my wrist also smaller side and Daytona happen to be the most comfortable but GMT and Sub are timeless watches also. Leaning hard on Daytona as my last forever watch now.

+1. Saved me typing an answer.

I need a date function and it's the best daily watch for me out of your collection

I would keep the Daytona and Pepsi for a while then decide which to let go later. Most probably you will decide to keep both.

Sub. Then, I would get on the list for a Sub Date and sell the Sub when I got the call for the Sub Date.

I would get the values of the watches from a verified source, Trusted Seller. I would then use that information and my personal feelings about the watches to guide me to which ones to get rid of. I know we are only suppose to do a one watch choice but I would keep the Submariner and the Daytona, if I could. One, the Submariner, is and could be a do everything, go everywhere watch. The Daytona is special to you and as such would be a nice secondary/ primary watch when you want. I subscribe to the saying, "Two is one and one is none". Good luck and let us know what you decide.

Pepsi and pick up a jubilee bracelet so you can swap out from time to time.

I'd keep the Pepsi... Classic, holds value well and its hard to get.
The Daytona a close 2nd.

You can always re-buy any piece.
Watches are just shiny objects to admire.
Best to you.

I would keep one of the GMTs. Probably a function that will used more than the chrono.

Situations like this always makes me wish I can keep them all, but if I really have to go for one, then it will surely be BLRO.
