Icon20 What is the perfect collection/combination?

My current set:
GMTIIc TT --- 14060M random --- Subc.
(with the note that I do not feel much love for the SUBc)

The question is see current prices (and having 2 adult sons):
-Keep what I have
-Sell the SUBc, which I do not much like and keep my beloved GMT&SubND
-Sell them all and buy my other dream/grail set, 118238 with new model clasp and catch (again) a 2010 16610 G or Random.

Go for the grail set. a) its a great combo with DD & Sub, sporty and dressed b) i think its a more rounded better choice. I might only substitute either a GMT II (Pepsi or Black) bec I love two time zones or a 16600 SD for the Sub. Nevertheless, a DD & a Sub are two Rolex icons and make a great collection.

Go for the grail, if you can afford it. You only go around once ... you may as well make it a good one.

If I'm in your position, I'm selling those for the Day Date ASAP. Even better if you can afford a 16610 to pair it with. THAT's the perfect duo for me.
