Help me thin the herd... Which 3 of my 8 watches should I keep

So here are the watches that I currently own:
  1. Brand new AP Diver new release purchased at an AD in Hong Kong last week
  2. IWC Big Pilot 5004 -- purchased pre-owned from a Trusted Seller here on the Rolex Forum about 2 months ago
  3. Rolex BLNR -- purchased brand new at an AD in the Frankfurt Germany Airport as a new release in July 2013
  4. Rolex SS Daytona White Dial -- purchased brand new at an AD in Honolulu in Nov 2012
  5. Omega PO Ocean Chrono 9300 -- purchase pre-owned from a Trusted Seller here on the Rolex Forum in July 2012
  6. Panerai PAM 88 J GMT --purchased pre-owned from a Trusted Seller here on the Rolex Forum in April 2009
  7. Omega Seamaster Bond 2531.80 -- purchased new at an AD back in July 2000
  8. Tag Heuer Professional 200M -- purchased new at an AD back in Sept 1997.

I have put up the two Omegas, the PAM 88 and the Tag up for sale on the Forum here -- Even if those 4 sell -- I'd still like to keep it to only 3 watches.

Keeping the AP Diver since I just bought that last week. Which leaves the Daytona, the BLNR and Big Pilot. Which 2 would you keep of those 3?

Another way to go would be to try convert the 4 watches I currently have for sale into a pre-owned AP ROO Panda or Navy or Royal Oak Chronograph and then only keep one of the following: Daytona, the BLNR and Big Pilot.

Thoughts? I realize ultimately it's my decision -- but wanted to hear some other opinions etc.

Thanks.

Keep either the BLNR or Daytona, and get another AP.
