Collection current and complete. All about what sings to you.

Perhaps not well balanced and cover all bases though. Collection evolves as many pieces came and left and the remaining are those I want to keep for now. The four 116520 seems redundant but each has some meaning to me, and they are the MK1 with creamy dials so they are not exactly the same and can exist together in the small group.

The 4 are 116520 but they are the early MK1 with cream dials so to me they are not exactly the same, plus each has a story, so I still keep them for now. Of course I can easily let them go if I want to do so.

Nice ! Would be interested in hearing the story of the 4 116520s ! More than half the collection are Daytona's and more than 3/4 are either a Daytona or a Milgauss. At least you know what you like ! Enjoy !

Thank you No grand stories here but I bought one of them in 2000 to mark my first career advancement so it has some sentimental meaning to me. I had kept the watch many years until I noticed its dial turned creamy 5-6 years ago. The rest I got them more because I am interested in these creamy dials.

This is an incredible collection. I especially love the Platona. Nothing wrong with Daytona duplicates - keep on going!

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you. The most worn are Milgauss either black or white dial, as office watch, and Platinum Daytona when going out at weekend. On casual occasions I would also take the YG Daytona on Oysterflex. Daytona ceramic, Hulk and Z-blue get least worn.

Thank you. Daytona and Milgauss is my favorite of modern sport Rolex line ups, though I also like the vintage Subs.

You have some nice watches. Agree about what sings to you , posted my collection recently and there is not one of the hyped models in it and they’re all quite similar in regards to colour and style. 4 of the same watch I don’t understand, you trying to make money on them? You could trade three in for a very nice watch.

Thank you. Seen your collection too. The four 116520s I have mentioned in other replies. It's because I am very much into these particular dial variants of the 116520 that I keep them, though I can easily sell or trade them.
