Tough decision - two watch collection

Hi guys,

I have owned several Rolex models in the past four years (Rootbeer, Bluesy, Sub, DJ41), I liked DJ41 and Bluesy. Currently I only have Batgirl which I like but I've been wearing it everyday for the last two years. I'm over 40 now and I like TT watches more and more. I prefer rose gold over yellow gold but there aren't many options. I would like to have 2 watches in my collection.

Although I like TT watches, I really like the new Bruce Wayne GMT because it's so elegant and it's timeless.

I'm thinking of two options:
1. To sell my Batgirl and bought 126710GRNR and add 126331 with Wimbledon dial.
2. To sell my Batgirl and bought 126713GRNR and add Bluesy

I know that this two options are way different but as said, I like all of them, maybe I prefer rose gold over yellow more. What do you think what is the best combo? I can only have two watches so option to add more it's not possible.

Thanks!

Keep what you have and give it time to let the feeling pass.

I’m not sure what to recommend.

If you like rose gold, what didn’t work with the CHNR? You already owned the Bluesy … do you want to give that one another shot?

Personally, if I’m not set on buying a specific watch, I’d stay put as my friend Gus says, until you have more clarity

The CHNR was a blind buy, I didn't tried it before. The problem was with the bezel as it's really brown (ugly for my taste) and I didn't liked it. I sold Bluesy as I needed cash, otherwise I think it would still be here.

Yeah, I think I still need more time...

AXiON,
Today I actually tried on the 126331 because of the rose gold, grey dial. As I own several black dial watches I am looking for something with color. The yellow gold being too loud for me.
The rose gold (pink gold) with Wimbledon dial looks great as the colors provide contrast.
You would buy the Bluesy again?

I think DJ41 Wimbledon looks better with rose gold, as you already said, because of the contrast. Looks amazing.
About Bluesy, yes I would. It's a great watch, the blue dial is amazing. But I would say it's more a "summer" watch.

I’d keep the BLNR and add the TT of your choice.

This. Or at least until you figure out exactly what it is that you want to add.
