State of the Collection ... Seeking Your Opinions

Hello all -

I don't actively post here much, but frequent the forums daily. Since we're under quarantine, I thought I would take this opportunity to share my collection and ask your opinions as it relates to a consolidation of sorts. I hope to be a more active poster in the day/weeks ahead!

Anyways, my current collection consists of the following:

- 114060 ("No Date" Sub)
- 116610LV ("Hulk")
- 126710BLRO ("Pepsi")
- 116500LN (Daytona - white dial)

I've been on my AD's list for a black dial 116500 for some time now and just got the call last week. The catch is, they wanted me to pay in advance and promised me the watch within 90 days. I went ahead and 'pulled the trigger' but put it on a 12-Month 0% credit card. A little over $14k all in (MSRP + tax).
It's worth noting this is the only Rolex I've ever financed, however, I couldn't justify giving up that much cash during this time of uncertainty, especially on a promise and not having the watch in-hand.

Lately, however, I've been lusting over the 228235 Rose Gold Olive Dial Day-Date 40 and was thinking of letting go of one of the Daytonas (likely the black dial when it comes in) and both Subs (114060 & 116610LV) for it. I know I don't need to move both Subs, but figure it will allow me to just about reimburse myself for what I 'borrowed' to purchase the Daytona. In my mind, I'm essentially trading both Subs for a Day-Date.

My wife tells me regardless, I need to slow it down for a while which I wholeheartedly agree with so this will likely be my last (watch) purchase for a while whether or not I decide to keep or sell/trade the Daytona.

I'm curious to hear your thoughts on the matter. What would you do in my position? Would you go another way (consolidate into a Patek), or simply flip the new Daytona to pad my cash holdings and stay put with my current collection?
