Which 3 Rolexes to keep

[Randonneur]

Dear forumers,
I have 8 Rolex sport watches. All are not getting enough wrist time and sleeping in the safe box most of the time. I am considering reducing the Rolex watches to 3 but I can’t decide which 3 to be kept for the rational stated next to the model:

M series Daytona black dial: The master of Rolex sport model and the most appealing chronograph. It is like a must have for a watch enthusiast. A cult chronograph watch and no other chronograph come close to it.
M series Explorer 2 white face: This one came with the 3186 movement and there are only 3 white faces from Rolex sports model. The other 2 are Daytona and Milgause.
Z series Blue Sub: I love the beauty of the blue face. The blue colour of this discontinued blue sub look refreshing and stunning and it is the only Rolex sport model with blue face.
Z series Platinum/SS Yacht Master: I love the unique silver dial, red second hand, curve case and the only platinum bezel. The most dressy sport model.
Z series Seadweller: The discontinued SD (including the DS) is the only Rolex sport watch with date but without a Cyclops. The toughest Rolex sport watch.
Z series Green Sub: Sub is a classic and I love the green bezel and the maxi dial. This would probably discontinue when the new SS sub release.
Y series GMT II 16713, half gold: My first Rolex and I like the dial with the golden letterings and marking that shared with the 18K model. Unlike the new GMT IIC, the SS TT and 18K black dial shared the same dial with white letterings, only the 18K anniversary model (green face) with gold lettering. I see a dozen of SS GMT and it is rare to find this discontinued half gold GMT.
Y series Explorer: I love the simplicity of the dial, timeless classic design and comfort on the wrist.

I may sound like that it is better to keep all but if you are in my position. What are the 3 you would keep or which are the ones that you think should not keep and your rationales. Let keep the discussion going. Thank you.

My preferred choices are those highlighted: must have date function.

Nice collection!

Very nice collection you have there! Well, if I were you, would go for;

1. Black daytona - definitely a keeper
2. GMT II TT - it's your first rolex and a nice one too!
3. Blue/Green Sub - it's a toss up between the blue and green sub. The green looks nicer but i think the blue is more collectable and unique.

Tough choice there mate..I would rather keep 5 - one for every day!

exp II, ym and sub

[sfugel]

Daytona,GMT II and the EXP II.

[augpat]

If given a choice,Daytona,GMT II and Sub LV.

[BRABUS]

My pick would be Daytona , Blue Sub and Explorer II .
Daytona as its king of rolex sports , TT blue sub for the fomal dinner and also just to have at least 1 TT watch ,and finally Explorer for travelling overseas cos of the GMT function .

1) Daytona
2) Yacht Master
3) Seadweller

What a collection! An enviable dilemma... My choice would be

Personally I like to have different dial colors to match my mood and attire
