One watch owners, lets hear from you.

[petesjag]

I'm a one watch owner after years of collecting and flipping. I decided that I would rather have one really special watch to grow old with then a collection. I love strapping on my GMT and it makes me smile from check to cheek when I'm wearing it. In 2 weeks it will be a year since getting it. I love to look at the different watches here on the forum but don't fell the necessity anymore to buy what I see. Maybe this is something which comes with age and experience..? I am curious to hear other 1 watch forum members perspectives..

I'm a one watch owner!

But only because I'm a student and can't afford to purchase any more watches as of right now :D

Same here.

[gpfps]

I have 2 DD and 14060. But only wear the DD because it was my dads and he wore all the time and I feel I should do the same. Plus I don't want to wear the sub.

[OrangeCrate]

One Explorer II, that I've had for 25 years.

[capote]

I only have a watch, Exp2. Very happy with it, would probably want another one or two but I can't really make up my mind. No Rolex currently in production is interesting for me, and when you look outside the Rolex sphere there are too many to choose from.

Basel is just around the corner.

[Roma315]

Currently have 3 watches and would like more. Different watch for different moods/occasions

[Benjamin86]

im a recent GMT IIc TT owner too and at this stage only have eyes for her.... im sure in time and with more TRF I will stray into a new love but dont see myself owning more than one at any time, will just save some cash and trade up

I'm already looking at the YG DayDate or dare i say the Rose version :-)

[Lagunatic]

I'm a one watch owner, but i sometimes have anxiety wearing such an expensive watch. Maybe i will buy the Tudor Pelagos model when i sell my TT Submariner-Date.

[Buck I]

I have a Sub C and a Speedmater Pro. All my current watch needs and desires are met.

Truth be told, the Sub alone met those needs.

[Thatguy]

Only a 1 watch owner until I save for my next. Waiting til after Basel in case something awesome comes out though.

With your one watch, I wouldn't feel a need for anything else either!

PS: I'm an addict so I can't take my own advice.

I too am down to one Rolex (GMT II) which I purchased new about 7 months ago. In the past I have had a 2 tone Datejust as well as a stainless Datejust. I'm not sure if I'll add another Rolex but I am on the look for a Rolex for my wife. We are presently in Arizona and are meeting with an AD on Thursday am . Maybe we'll find her something she likes (doesn't like the ladies datejust).

[HRV]

Wish I could be happy with only one

[blackreplica]

More than a year still happy with my only watch, a GMT IIC

Can't imagine myself owning more than one, I'm a wear-the-same-watch-all-the-time kinda guy.

Would love to trade up to a two tone or better yet all gold GMT one day though

[joeygmt]

i only own a gmt II

i would love owning multiples but that can get pretty expensive. I get to see and try on my fathers collection though.

[joe100]

I'm a one watch keeper...but I flip like crazy. Next on the radar screen is a 16700 so then I will be a 2 watch guy, maybe for the weekend.

[judodave1964]

I only have One Rolex which is a Submariner, ever since I saw Roger Moore (James Bond) in Live and Let die as a kid its been the only watch I have ever wanted to own. I've had subs for the last twenty five years and have dabbled in between with date just's , omega seamaster's and speedmasters etc but always kept a sub. I have a 16610 now and it seems to have everything I need in a good quality watch, I wear it 24/7. Watch collecting is fantastic and I enjoy reading this forum with members adding to their growing stable of fine pieces but would be wasted on me.

[zeuloa]

I'm a one watch guy, SD. Would like to add a dress watch sometime, perhaps a PP Calatrava, Cartier Tank, or the beautiful Reverso 1931, preferably on the Casa Fagliano brown strap.

[aprasert]

I wish I could be monogamous. Although the 16600 might be the one.

Although I currently have another watch (1625) for sale, I've decided the 16600 is "the one" for me. I used to wear a Breitling for Bentley every day, but I find myself reaching for the SD every single day since I bought it. Hmm, perhaps the B will be for sale shotly as well!

[PMiddy]

I think 2 will be my limit, one for everyday and casual events and maybe a YG date just for special occasions

[kcmo]

It's been a few years since I was a one-watch gal....I went from 1 to 2.....to 1.... to 2....to 3....to 2.

2 is a sweet spot for me, though truth be told, either of the ones I currently own could satisfy me as an 'only one'.

[JJL]

I kind of consider myself a 1 waych guy, because I have only 1 Rolex, which I've worn every day since aquiring it about 2.5 years ago.

I purchased this watch as a gift to myself for becoming a father with plans to pass it down to my son when the time is right.

Knowing this may be my one and only Rolex, I wanted a piece that is versatile enough to be worn on any occasion, a perfect blend of sport and dress. It's the watch that has always stood out to me in the Rolex lineup (to be fair the Daytona was a very close 2nd). It is the SS/Platinum Yacht-Master.

I hope to be fortunate enough to have a 2nd child in the next few years, as well as the funds to purchase a 2nd Rolex. As of right now, that front runner is the 16600 Sea-Dweller but who knows if that will be my choice if/when the day comes.

Eventually, I'd hope to round off my collection with a 3rd piece, later on down the road: A solid gold piece, possibly a YG DayDate, or WG Sub? Who knows

[montpyt]

I only have one Rolex until I save up for my next one, most likely a TT Sub-C or a DSSD.

[Trim]

Only 1 since first 14060m sub in 2011, after stumbling across a picture of the hulk ceramic cant stop looking at them!

Booked a viewing with AD to see it in the flesh, so maybe 2 by weekend.

My wife bought me a watch for a wedding present, a TAG Heuer Carrera Twin Time. That's never going anywhere. I wear it on special occasions. My personal collecting has seen many come and go. I'll always have my "beaters," my Seiko and a perpetual calendar Citizen that my wife bought me a couple years back.

I started with the Seamaster Pro "Bond," and then added a Breitling Superocean. I flipped the SO for an Omega PO, and pretty much ignored the rest of my watches, wearing the PO every day. I decided to pair down and just go for one watch to wear every day. An article on Hodinkee about a guy wearing a GMT MII every for the past 40 years is really what made me make the more to be a "one watch guy."

[SeaDweller50]

I just have my Explorer 42mm because I cannot afford to own any more. Simple. I feel very lucky to have one if I'm honest.
