ROLEX BLUESY or GMT MASTER LN ?

I am lucky enough to own both the Submariner 116613 LB and the GMT Master 116710 LN but need to sell one of these cracking watches.
Its a personal thing but which one should I keep and which one should I sell.
I would be interested in the forums opinion as I like them both.

I own both of those and choosing which one to sell would depend on what else you have in your collection. If it's just these two, I would keep the GMT. But if you have a different watch that you could use as a daily I would keep the Sub.
I really like the Sub, but it wouldn't be a daily for me. But I have a friend who wears his daily. I know it's like choosing between which of your kids is a favorite, but one of them must have the edge over the other... Good luck.

I have owned both of these watches, have also owned the GMT LN TT. I only have my Bluesy now...Bluesy is the only one which continued to grow on me.

Bluesy is a great watch no doubt. I just feel like it’s better suited as a second or third watch.. The GMT is definitely more of a everyday goes with everything kinda watch.

I also have both. Is there anything else you can give up instead? Like a kidney?

Of my collection, the Bluesy rules as my favorite.
In fact, my favorite Rolex, period.
Would never part with it.

I'd sell the "Bluesy" over the GMT Master II.

Tough call, but I'd say keep the GMT and sell the Bluesy. I think the LN is more versatile than a two tone Sub.

I have sold two GMT LN’s both times it was for more colour (once a Hulk once a Blue Dial YM) never looked back. Life is too short for all black watches IMO of course

The Bluesy is in a class of its own. I miss mine.

But sold it to rely on a black date Sub and a blue Roman fluted DJ2 for my color fix

For daily, keep the LN

If you have a collection and it will be in rotation, MAYBE keep the LB

I would keep the bluesy. But first, I would move heaven and earth to keep both.

Bluesy (apart from its excellent 3135) is just visually stunning and interesting to look at. You just don't get tired looking at the time.
