I made it a point to go against the flow and gat different watches and brands but after 10 years i found myself back to rolex. It is just more lasting than the others.

Subs, GMTs and Daytonas are just that good. It can't be helped.

Not even a little bit diverse within the collection, but not the SS seen so often here, either.

My collection is as basic as Starbucks. Although, I put a lot of thought in it. My oddballs are probably my JLC Grand DuoDate and Rolex OP 34 in green.

My “collection” is a lot humbler than all these posts above ^^^
But it’s different! All I have right now is my DJ36 and a Timex Chronograph. Now before anyone laughs at my Timex, it’s my first ever chronograph. It keeps good time (of course it does if it’s a quartz movement!), has a jumping hour hand (for traveling like the Rolex GMT Master 2) has a date, a working chronograph, and I bought it on special for less than $30. Also, it has a leather band which is different from my SS jubilee on the Rolex. I’m trying to be a one watch guy, so I’ve only had these two for a while. But I’m getting the bug for a Seiko skx013, so I might add that soon. |

Also, I wanted to add to my post above....
I wear the Datejust about 95 percent of the time, but when I do wear the Timex I enjoy it as well |

Diverse collections?
Good discussion in the previous thread and love to see more of these diverse collections. Agree it's getting boring with Speedy/Hulk/Batman/Pepsi/White Daytona/Blue SkyD collections although I understand the reason for it, they are considered the iconic and collectible.
I have come to the conclusion I'm not really a collector, I'm an enthusiast and therefore want to have pieces that are appealing to me, fit my lifestyle, adds diversity to the collection and are somewhat 'significant' pieces. For now it feels like I'm done with Rolex or at least that these 3 will stay 'forever'. |

Diverse collections?
I’ve cut back on my collection to just these two. Frankly they cover all bases. Everyday wear and sports/ beater wear.
Frankly the Seiko is really nice for the $$, so much so that it makes me wonder if I really need another sport watch. The DJ covers pretty much all bases. Frankly I’m starting to think after collecting and owning a lot of watches over the years, I’m just about done with the hobby. Only piece left on my list is a PM sub or DD. Other than that I’m pretty content right now. IMG]http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191230/775c98260a7dec8516962da7ad312e27.jpg[/IMG] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Once owned a variety of 5 subs... when I realized that I sold them all and began again.
I think I have my diversity dialed in. Especially drawn to the unique case shapes and dials.

Love the Catier and that is my preferred Perpetual, almost bought the white dial but wanted the black and even though I had a great opportunity I resisted.

I often have a difficult time taking the Patek off, it is so easy to wear and is packed with interesting details to enjoy... the fact that it is an automatic is also a huge plus to wearing it as s daily. Maybe you’ll revisit it one day
