7 Rolex collection, no prior history with any AD’s so I guess there won’t be any mor
Hello guys, how are you? I have recently added a blue sub 16613 to the collection. It came from family so it wasn’t exactly planned (don’t worry no one died) as I look at my watches I am thankful but also a bit sad because it will be very difficult for me to add any more models given I don’t have any prior history with any AD. I would like a black dial Daytona, a green ceramic sub or a rose gold yacht master. Models nearly impossible to get for someone like me. I don’t think I’ll go gray on them because at that point (Daytona and yachmaster) I might as well get an AP. I guess I could go vintage if I wanted to add something else, perhaps an older explorer 1 would be nice? Rolex has always been my first love but the fact that is impossible to get modern ones makes it very difficult to continue to collect once you have certain models. I will continue to check in to random AD’s and put my name down on lists but I don’t see anything else coming my way in the near future, and that’s sad! Thanks for reading and salud!

Put your name down for rose gold yachtmaster. I don’t think it will take as long as you think. And my guess is you’ll have green sub in 6-12 months after that.

Thanks for the message, I am on the list at a Bay Area AD for the yachtmaster. I was also told they haven’t had one on the case for over 2 years (not sure if it’s true or bs) as far as the green sub I’ve gotten 2-3 years estimates. I have mentioned I collect and I don’t have any intention to profit from buying but I am sure you they don’t believe that haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Congrats on a really nice Rolex collection -- you've got great representatives from pretty much all the major food groups there. Enjoy

Very nice collection and really covers all the basses. I too have a small and modest collection that enjoy and wear each day. I am also hesitant to even ask my AD for an Explorer or GMT. I recently mentioned a 18k gold sub at some point in the future and even got a shrug and short story about supply. I have decided to wait it out. Maybe the next economic valley will be the time to jump on a few watches. I am chasing other items that I have always wanted. They too are showing signs of the scarcity story but much earlier in the play book.

Check in with AD’s? Are you looking to curate a Rolex museum or actually wear these watches? If each one gets worn evenly, that’s like what a few weeks a year of wrist time for each watch? If you want to amass a large collection of things and Rolex things you will have to look to the gray or preowned market or branch out into other brands. If you want meaningful watches and are looking for more than a dopamine hit, pare down, and wear the heck out of the watches you have.

You have seven Rolex watches, including some very desireable models. I would step back and focus on that part where you feel thankful vs sad. If you really want to add something, sell 3 or 4 and pay the current grey (market unfortunately) price. You are in a great position to sell/add.

There’s is definitely scarcity of certain luxury items (watches, Porsche etc) A whole year stuck at home will do wonders to disposable income. The only lines I see people making at the local mall are at Louis Vuitton, Cartier etc Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Thanks for the reply, I wear all these watches, some more often than others. All these represent significant events in my life. I am happy with the variety of what I but would like maybe two more models I find attractive Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

“Sad” was a poor choice of a word. I would say I am a bit disappointed I cannot add one more modern Rolex to my collection. Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Beautiful collection, enjoy them and patiently wait for the others to show up at the AD you have expressed interest with.

Satisfied would be a word I would use if that were my collection.
