Buying the same exact watch multiple times for color
Anyone else bought the same exact watch multiple times simply to change dial color?
I'm officially guilty now. I now have this GS in black and blue. I've had the black one for a couple years but am currently lacking blue in my collection. Now I have both LOL. I plan to sell the black eventually. Anyone else care to fess up on multiple watch model purchases? This hobby is a disease |

I have a black dial Sub. My next watch will likely be a 126613LB.

Moonswatch and Blancpain x Swatch. Multiple colors. Not sure if it counts though

Not here.
This can get to be an expensive hobby. I like to collect watches but keep the brand & design/style diverse. |

I traded and sold several over the years to diversify in colors, black watches are nice but as I get older I prefer a splash of color.

At one point I had two subs, two black bays … it’s fun to have the same watch in different colors. Love both those GS!
Also, ALMOST perfect photo!!

I currently have 2 OP's, Turquoise and Celebration Dials. I have the BLRO and had the BLNR at the same time for many years. I used to have the Tudor BB smiley face in different colors.
I do this with shoes too

Does this count?
Wife’s turquoise and mom’s red. Liked them so much I picked up a yellow for me! |

I think it’s probably pretty common in the Rolex kingdom. Particularly the Sub, as the LV and black have such drastically different looks.
I had both a blue Pelly and a LHD for a hot minute, but moved on from both. I’m sure there are a lot of Speedmaster fans who will be (or have) added a white dial 3861 as well. Other than a Sub or Speedy, I can’t see me allocating resources to get two of the same watches with different dials. Not that it’s not great, it’s just with the finite purchasing power I have, I like to cover more bases in my collection. |

I haven’t but I’m not a whale. If I was, I’d definitely be up for a hulk and black, blnr and BLRO, green gold day date and white gold etc. it’s a disease!

I saw a lady that bought 2 identical Franck Mullers, with different colored straps. Presumably to match different outfits.
Now that's crazy. |

Nope, never. Also never buy more than 4, maybe 5, ok, perhaps 7 watch straps for one timepiece. nope. Never.
So... Red Pill or Blue Pill? Sherman_Red_Blue_Pill_edited.jpg . . . . ...or Green Pill or Multi-Color Pill? MAD1_Blue_Red__Green_Love_edited.jpg . . .

Boring, probably, but I've worn a GMT since the early 1970's and never felt the need to blow dough on another timepiece. Why would I?
Find something that doesn't disappoint, and stick with it. |

Not personally, but I totally get that haha.
In my case, I've done it for condition.
