Help me reduce this collection to five pieces
As the title suggests, I’m looking for the opinion of the experts to help get this theoretical collection down to 5 pieces.
I feel the BLRO should stay and a blue dial is needed but not sure what to eliminate to make spaces. All opinions welcome. Thank you. ![]() Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

It may not be helpful but you asked…I would sell the datejust and the explorer as they don’t do anything for me. I like your other Rolexes and if your going to own a speedmaster, you picked a great one.

Additionally, for those that may suggest to keep the submariner as well as the date just my question to you is, don’t you feel that’s a bit too much green?

I am absolutely no expert but here is my what I’d do with your collection.
Sell these and use the remainder of the money to buy a yellow or everose gold Day-Date. This gives you two phenomenal daily’s to share watch time with in the stainless Rolex’s. The Snoopy is just awesome and I’d love one to collect and wear sparingly. The Day-Date would be a little more of an occasion type watch that makes you feel different and special. ![]() |

Not a fan of 2-tone so that is a gone and then the Omega as well is gone. Just my opinion, good luck!

Keep 4 in my opinion:
Explorer - Rolex's nearly perfect watch. BLRO or CHNR - draw for me here, Everose is great but Jubilee is equally great. Speedy Sub Colors and functions don't end up overlapping as much and can be dressed up or down a good bit. |

you can consolidate more.
Keep DJ, Pepsi, Batgirl and Snoopy. Rest are just repetitive. |

Get rid of two GMTs, or a GMT and the sub.

5 ideas for you, depends on what’s important to you:
1) I need a date and use GMT a lot on my watches. If you’re like me, trim the Speedy and Explorer. 2) If you don’t use GMT that often, cut the redundancy by selling the CHNR and Batman 3) If you want variety with color, metal, style, and bracelet: cut the Green Sub and Batman. 4) If you want all large sport watches, cut the datejust and Explorer. 5) If you want to be known as a Rolex purist, cut the Speedy and CHNR.

I understood the assignment. Here’s the reasoning
Pepsi. Everyone has a pepsi, and three GMT-Master II is too many. The Rootbeer is just a stunning two tone and beautiful to behold in person. The Pepsi, is nothing special, at all. Like boring! The Batman (Batgirl), that’s a clean looking classy watch, not a Pepsi advertisement. The explorer is a nice watch, but the others are nicer! You don’t need a DD, you have a DJ, and a nice one at that. The omega, that’s a beautiful watch, and your only white face in the collection. The Sub is a classic, and every Rolex collection has to have a Submariner in it. |

You have a great collection!
If it were me, and were I looking to consolidate, the very obvious choice would be to eliminate the Omega (that's an instant decision for me and a no-brainer), and then 1 or 2 of your 3 GMTs. Just too many GMT in the mix there. Personally I think you could trade the CHNR, Omega, and BLNR and add a white-dialed Daytona (any model that suits your fancy, just something with white dial) and then you'd have a really solid 5 piece collection with your remaining BLRO, LV, DJ, and Explorer.
