Agreed as well. Out of those 3 it definitely doesn’t do it for me personally.

I’m in the minority. I say let go of the Pepsi. I recently bought one and sold it the next day. Didn’t like it at all. My wife didn’t either and wondered what all the fuss was about with that particular model.
The color scheme didn’t look great on my wrist. I took the money I made and put a deposit on a Sub (date or no date, whichever comes first). YMMV

That FP Journe is not for me. It would have to go well before the other two. If you like it, rock it like a champ and part with one of the other two that you like the least.

Bravo ! Was always wondering , why GMT ? Don‘t see any interesting thing on it , too big numbers on bezel . Fourth hand just to confuse you . Anyway different people , different choices. Never been my cup of tea .

Keep in mind that you are posting in the Rolex forums, so the feedback you receive is biased at best. That said, I'd unload the FPJ as well

Like the others, just because a watch has sold out doesn't mean it's desirable. the Quartz FP may be difficult to get hold of but is it really going to be a whole of life keeper? The sub and pepsi will be heirlooms your kids will love. However, if you have to get rid of one - sub 100% but I'd be passing on the FPJ.

Sometimes it's a matter of tranquility. I don't know how many times I've told my wife "not another watch until or unless I sell one"

Would you honestly wear that FP if it had a different brand name on the dial? Cause imo that is not an appealing watch... at all. I'd never give up either of those Rolex watches for that.

Get rid of the FP Journe. Sub and GMT are both must haves.

The Sub. The GMT does 99% of what the Sub can do plus you get the dual time complication and the cool multi colored bezel.

It seems like Sub is the cheapest one, Pepsi and FPJ are just about the same market value.

Let the one you like the least goes.

I'd keep both Sub and GMT. Not a fan of that watch at all.

Send Journe on a journey. Sub and GMT are the two most iconic Rolex in my opinion.

A GMT is not more iconic than a YG DD. GMT is strictly hype at this point. Sub is iconic.
