Keep 14060 and your birth year Explorer II.

rl96701 · 11 April 2018, 08:06 AM

Keep the 5513/coke....... And if you decide to get rid of them, I’ll buy it!

I would keep both subs. One newer looking and one older looking. Same watch completely different.

Coke hands would kill it for me. Otherwise I would keep it. Black explorer doesn't do anything for me personally. Birth year is cool to have, but do you love it?

Do this - look at images of each watch on Google. Which two causes the most stomach pain if you sold em. Technically all four may hurt, but two should stand out. Keep those two.

christo4 · 11 April 2018, 08:18 AM

For all the reasons already stated, I would keep the 14060, hands down (haha) but the second keeper is a tougher call. I like the 5513, but the coke adds some color despite its defects. Good luck!

fskywalker · 11 April 2018, 08:34 AM

keep 5513 and 16570 as it is birth year

Tough call. I am a Sub guy so would probably keep the Subs. I do like the patina on your GMT though.

You guys are awesome. And this is impossible!

Don't envy your problem, it is a very hard choice. If it was me, I would end up keeping the Subs.

mementomori1983 · 11 April 2018, 09:01 AM

IMO the 14060m looks best on you. Full set is icing on the cake. So I'd keep that if I were you.

Between the three remaining ones I'd keep the 5513.

Max46 · 11 April 2018, 09:05 AM

I'll always favorite my Rolex 5513, Classy vintage IMO.

Lose the last two listed

Drewkeffler · 11 April 2018, 09:27 AM

The GMT and the 14060 are going nowhere.

scooter1307 · 11 April 2018, 09:32 AM

Get a new wife and keep them all!

~JJ · 11 April 2018, 09:43 AM

Don't reverse course too quickly. Start by selling the explorer and see how life goes for a couple years, then decide on next step sell/buy who knows.

Craigdwh · 11 April 2018, 09:44 AM

None, get rid of the old lady instead hehehhehehehe

Keep the 5513 and sell the rest. This way you keep the one you love And you have money now to scratch your next itch

Ticked_off · 11 April 2018, 10:50 AM

The two subs? At least they would be for me.
Then again I've owned a couple 14060Ms and sold them both. Also sold a mint 16710 w/ box and papers...

doh!
And owned a 16570 Black which I sold to get the polar.
To be honest the only real keeper here for me is the vintage sub.
Who knows? Maybe another piece will come up that you'll really want and can add if you sell 3.

The 5513 has a few small dial imperfections but I still love it.

I’m by no means accomplished regarding such things, but it might be worth looking into

I’ve thought of this. The 16710 is going in for service tomorrow but not to Rolex. Also the exp II only has original warranty paper. No booklets etc

Keep the Subs!

Colin10101 · 11 April 2018, 11:31 AM

definitely sell explorer.

definitely keep GMT.

Between the subs its close, but I think I'd keep the 14060 as it is a bit more durable.

Thought of this as well. But I’d probably service the GMT and use it as a daily

I'm gonna suggest something that will probably be hated on by many, but its what I would do if I were in your situation.

I think I'd take the GMT to Bob Ridley, or another CW21 watchmaker with a Rolex parts account and have him service the watch, replace the dial with a new genuine 16710 service dial, and replace the hands with new service hands. The watchmaker will let you keep the old parts (good for future re-sale value), and now you have a fresh modern 16710 ready to be your daily.

I think in this case I would keep the 5513 as well, so you'd have one clear 'vintage' watch, and another more modern and durable everyday wearer.

I’d just sell it and source a new one in this case
