One last question, Royal blue, Trident blue or Navy blue?


Don't want to get the wrong color.


Thanks in advance.

I love it. Does seem that you could use something to just beat around in though. Maybe a 14060?

I'm colorblind, you're asking me??

No problem, here's what I ordered:
1 × Denim MN™Strap
Center Stripe: WHITE
lug width:22 mm
Stitching color: Centerline matching
Wristsize: Other (email size)
Hardware: Bead Blasted
Issue numbers print: No
https://erikasoriginals.com/mn-straps/denim.php

Make sure to get regular Denim, not stone washed [unless you prefer stone washed]. Also, while my wrist is 7.25" [185mm] I have very large hands so requested an overall strap of 280mm in length end to end, EXCLUDING the hardware. That way I can easily slip the strap over my hand without stretching the material. It took about 2 weeks from order to shipping.

I'm happy with these 3. Much lesser/older watches laying around, but these 3 are 'the' collection. Yes, I'm content.

Really nice trio! I’m thinking that instead of a GMT, I might go for a ND Sub as a 4th.

3-4 is perfect for me, but change is constant and it could happen so fast.

Someday I will sell all the stuff I never wear anymore and get down to under 10.
Im just too lazy to take the time to list them and frankly I take horrid pics.
Too bad you get killed on trades to gray market BUT I get it, time and tied up funds plus they have bills to pay.

I couldn't think of a nicer 3 Rolex collection. Very nice!

I currently have 6 in the “luxury” category (listed below). I’m in the process of getting it down to 4.

I wear the 2 Rolex the most by far, then the OG BB58, and the Speedmaster is so beautiful I can’t part with it.

I’ve realized that I can’t justify the blue BB58 tying up cash when I barely wear it. And, while I do love the Panerai, I just feel this drive to downsize.

I figure I could “collect” a few pieces in the sub $1k range for fun and not worry about the cost vs frequency worn.

For example, I think the Pepsi colors are fun and add depth to a collection, but I’d never buy the BLRO because I know I’ll probably only wear it once or twice a year. I’d rather go Steinhart in that case.

Either way though, I’ll be very happy with the 4.

Very nice collection - one that clearly doesn't need any new additions. That said, it ain't about ever about "need" when it comes to this hobby

Ive been really pleased with my trio, though lately I’ve been eying a dress watch and/or Royal Oak.

I also love the idea of a tight collection, where each piece gets used. I feel connected to each one of these pieces for different reasons, and enjoy how they work together as a trio.

I have a short list of a few pieces I think would be cool to add (polar 226570, rhodium YM40 126622, some iteration of a gmt on jubilee, 16600, etc), but I can never see myself having a massive collection - I think id feel guilty letting them sit in the box. Three is a perfect number for me, right now anyways…

3 was 1 too many for me, so I sold my Explorer and bought my wife a DJ.

More content now with my collection (124060 Sub and 126000 green OP) than I've ever been.

You need a Daytona and a Day-Date to complete your collection :)

Very nice collection so far tho!

I thought I was content after getting my Daytona back in 2014, after a Yacht Master, Date Just, and a Panerai.

Since then, I've added a few more, including a few Moon Swatches. It's an addiction, and I should probably move some on, especially the Moon Swatches. I just can't seem to let anything go.

My three watch collection feels perfect to me:

- Cartier Santos (white dial)
- DJ41Oyster/Jubilee (Blue dial)
- GMT Master II (Guinness/Zombie/Bumblebee - what ever the hell we're calling it these days :)

Most times, it is difficult to be satisfied with the number of watches in your collection when you know that you have the resources to buy.
