Should I sell my BNIB 2021 Explorer 2 (black dial) and used 2017 Ceramic Sub for a Root Beer GMT 2? Thinking to make the GMT my every (work)day watch. I’m in an everrose mood lately but just worry about the everrose being a trend and not a classic. I don’t plan on buying many more Rolexes in the future (maybe 1 his/hers set and that’s it).

I wouldn’t sell both. Sell your least favorite one and save up the rest of the cash. Sometimes a steel watch is more appropriate than a big shiny rose gold one.

Seems pretty rich to me. Wouldn’t do that trade.

Have you owned a gold watch before and gotten a lot of wear out of it? I love the root beer but I think you’re right that a two tone likely just won’t have the staying power or versatility of a sub or expii. If you wanted to consolidate and go to a one and only Rolex collection I’d be going Pepsi much faster than root beer

Thanks for the opinions thus far. I would be having to go grey market or pre owned for the Root Beer.

I’d probably select the Exp 2 if I were to sell one, but having 30k in 2 watches seems crazy excessive which is why I considered selling both. (Plus I wouldn’t have to save up another 10k =])

I’ve thought about the Pepsi as well but can’t say I like it enough to fork up 20k for the white gold. If I were to get it I may trade up the Exp 2 for an aluminum Pepsi.

Any opinions on whether the 2021 Exp 2 could go up in value more later given it’s the 50th anniversary (they didn’t change much on it though haha - just the size).

Nooooo

Have you seen the Rootbeer in person?

It’s magnificent, but much “louder” than the sub or Exp 2. Be ready for that. And I wouldn’t worry about styles changing; two-tone has been around for decades and decades, and the Rootbeer is an icon in its own right.

Is your sub a date or no date? Either way I’d keep the sub and use the Exp2 as collateral, or just sell it if you don’t love it.

Yes I saw it in person and agree that it is surely on the louder side. The sub is a date. Thanks for the input.

So they raised it to 55k.. but I still feel underpaid based on the amt of work I do. I don’t know what my title or what to put on resume..
