My Three Rolex Grail Collection & the one I regret selling - Show us yours!

[ducatiti]

Although not much compared to fabulous collections here, I have completed my collection of Rolex pieces I have always wanted after all these years. Although I may be speaking prematurely, I think I will never want or need anything else. Recently let go a couple of Omega pieces and gave my 3861 Speedy to my wife.



So a little background.. The first Rolex I ever laid eyes on was a replica my cousin gave to me at the age of 12. I promised to myself I will own the same blue face DJ one day. - Purchased 2019



At the age of 20, I fulfilled my dream of acquiring my very first Rolex which was a 16700. I wore it for 20+ years as my only watch but I eventually let it go back in 2019. Huge lesson learned. So basically got my very first watch back in the form of a BLRO. - Purchased 2023



While having the 16700 for a decade or two, I always envied submariner owners when seen around.. Not sure why but back in the 90’s, I felt like I had an entry level Rolex next to the Air King. I always liked the beefier look a sub with the thicker case and crown that I had the black bezel insert for most of the time. One day, I saw a Bluesy on someone. That was it. It’s over. Instant grail piece for me, and this was in the 90’s. -Purchased 2023

Just wanted to quickly share my experience.

Show us your three rolex grail collections!!!!!!


And for the one that got away :)
