Icon7 Which one to part with?

I have a 2014 Hulk, 2016 Batman and 1990 18238 with champagne dial and tight bracelet. If you had to part with one of them, which would it be?

GMT for me. Not a huge GMT fan and a Sub and DD would be all one would ever need I think.

But really, DD and either Sub or GMT depending on personal preference makes sense.

The DayDate, even though I’m not a fan of coloured bezels. Although the only dress watch of your three, it’s full YG which is an aesthetic turn off for me.

For the person saying the WR on a GMT2 is worse than a Submariner, I challenge you to exceed 100 meters underwater. Recreational diving rarely goes below 30m.

your two modern pieces are SO different from your DD. You must have some idea of which you prefer. If the DD is seeing no wrist time or you just don't like it that much anymore, its easy, ditch it.

If you love the DD it seems like the logical choice would be to ditch a 6 digit sports watch.

Of those two IMO the BLNR is more versatile. The Hulk is a little more fun. I'd probably keep the BLNR.

LV Sub. For nothing else than the stupid nickname

DD without a blink, the Hulk is the most iconic among the 3 followed by the Batman

I'd be keeping the 116610LV and 18238 - without question the BLNR would go.

Another vote for the DD. Ditch that 36mm and move on.

All great references. Personally it would be the BLNR, slightly ahead of the LV.

For you, which do you wear the least and like the least?

I would keep the DD as your formal watch. The BLNR is an all around good watch. The Hulk, while a beautiful dial is the most limited unless you wear clothes that are green or go with green well.

If you’re on the fence about them equally I’d trade them all in for something really cool

Personally, I would ditch the overhyped Hulk that I am not a big fan of.

I would move the LV. Out of the 3 I like the BLNR and DD much more. Much cleaner and classier.

Keep BLNR for sure. Toss up between DD and hulk based on preference— can’t answer that for you.

Currently looking like, in roundish numbers, Hulk gone 13, DD gone 6, BLNR gone 6. This includes the dude that said get rid of them all.

Of these, I would smoke off the DD. So make that 7.

I am surprised by the count on ridding the LV
