New Rolex Owner Dilemma

I had been lusting after an Explorer II 16750 Polar for a while, and I found a beautiful, like new one in Hong Kong and bought it.

It was perfect - understated, almost no one realizes its a Rolex I'm wearing (that I can gather), which I wanted as I travel almost constantly, and travel in some areas that are relatively poor at times (South East Asia).

I was originally going to go for the GMT BLNR, but I felt it was too flashy. After a couple months of wearing the Explorer II, I feel like it's to indiscriminate. Sometimes (at business events), I want the watch to be noticeable.

I also recently just picked up the Speedmaster Sapphire Sandwich (found one new in box in Japan). The addiction has set it.

I just can't justify having two Rolexes, especially one that will let me back $8k-9k plus the Explorer II. It's not about the cash, it's about efficiency.

So, other than "buy both" as that's still an option rolling in the back of my head, what would you do?

Maybe the Explorer II can be my "beater" watch I take when I don't want to be noticed, and the BLNR can be my occasional wear piece. But again, that's a chunk of change to be wrapped up in watches I don't wear (BLNR, Exp II and Speedy).

What are your thoughts / opinions?
