Repetition in your collection

[MrGiggles]

Hi Guys,

I’m new here, just started poking around and I’m really happy to have found a community of like minded enthusiasts!

My question is for those who collect the same modes from one manufacturer (Rolex in my case) only with slight variations in their metals, bezels, dials, and movements.

I recently purchased by 16th watch and I am finding that my collection naturally evolved to become repetitious. It’s not a bad thing, I actually think it makes it more of a true collection since I have to source the watches I want rather than just buying whatever catches my eye in an AD’s case.

I am just curious if anyone else finds themselves in the same position, and if so, what criteria differentiates your collection?

For example, I own a 14060 and a 114060. The same watch, but they couldn’t be more different!

I also have a BLNR (oyster) and a BLRO, though there is quite a bit that separates these two models!

Same story with Daytona’s... I have a SS 116520 White Dial, WG with a Silver Dial, and the Platinum all on oyster bracelets.

Anyway you get the point. I am really curious to hear what criteria you guys stick to when buying a new piece, and what you try to look for in a piece when expanding your collection. And please, if you have nothing nice to say, don’t respond. This is an honest question from one enthusiast to other enthusiasts who share the same passion.
