116619LB in = what to go?

Have these on the platter. I really want the 116619LB. So - what so go?

Please disregard the 16570; it's the wife's...

I vote 42mm explorer ii, OP, and 114060. That still leaves u with plenty of blue in the collection and u already have a no date sub. Can't wait to see what everyone else thinks

I would lose one of your EXIIs, I would lose one of your ND Subs, probably the 14060. I would make even consider losing both of those subs, and of course keeping the red line sub.

I'd imagine your BLNR can take on similar duties of the modern sub.

The OP... hmmm.. take it or leave it. Not really sure where it fits in to rotation. I know it would be my last choice to put on the wrist, but it's also not going to make all that much of a difference in purchasing the LB. aghhhh, I'd lose it too.

I agree....and you would ,of course, be gaining a Sub.

For sure keep the vintage. With a blue bezel/dial coming in maybe trade the BLNR, OP, and one or both no dates. Leaves you with a nice mix of colors and models.

For me I would start with the duplicate model function, then consider moving the version you wear least


or just keep the 3 on the right side (sub, gmt, exp II) and go shopping.

I'd keep the new Explorer II, both GMT's. The rest would be on the chopping block. I don't need both Exp2's, and with the new addition none of the other divers would get must wrist time. Ok, I admit it, I'm a sucker for GMT's.

Keep two modern pieces: Exp 42mm and BLNR

Keep two older pieces: 1680 red and 14060

sell the rest!

Good luck!

I enjoy your photography man, well done. LB is a sexy watch, no doubt. Keep the 1680

Damn, this is like deciding between your children.

Firstly the 14060 would definitely go if it was me. Second the 114060, third the 42mm explorer and forth the 116000.
With that said, I both own a 116000 and 114060 myself and like mine very much...

I'd get rid of the 14060, the OP, and the Pepsi...if you need more cash I'd add the 114060 to the list.

Keep the Polar, BLNR, and Red Sub for sure.

OP I recommend reflecting on just how much you've worn each piece over the last month or two or longer. Did you have to "force" yourself to wear one because you knew it wasn't getting wrist time? Or just on special occasions or something? That should help you eliminate a couple. I know it has helped me come to grips with soon parting with most of my non-Rolex pieces to save up for my next incoming. Gotta work on reducing the desired Rolex wish list though. With all that said, I'd keep the red sub, sub-C, polar Expy II, and the BLNR. Good luck and enjoy your Smurf when you get it!

This, although I would get rid of the BLNR as well as the pepsi is always cooler.
