far from rich, I just like watches. and set a bit of money aside for my watch fund any chance I get. I figure if I start early enough, my collection might be as impressive as some of the collectors I look up to on the forum |

I also own 3+ rolex in my collection
But I wouldn't consider my self an average. I'm more of a complete addict (a little cray cray when it comes to decision making during purchase) |

Maybe 3 is the average for a "TRF" member.

lol
TRF members are not average, we're completely nuts to the people outside of the world of watches I'd agree, 1 maybe 2 is the average In my line of work, I see 1 Rolex out of 6 business owners out here. which i see the same watch on everyday for the past 6 years ive been around here. So i'd assume they only own 1 also, but they see me switch around. Sort of look at me if i have fakes or im out of my mind |

I would think this, maybe the average Rolex "collector" has three but I can't imagine your average Joe would have three.

A good sales technique: "The average Rolex owner owns 3, and I see you only own one. Well, let's see if we can raise you up to the norm."
