I own a Datejust (16200) and a Sub C (116610), I don't need another one, I think the 2 Rolex watches I have are enough! However, I can't stop thinking about the 2016 Explorer 1 with the all lume dial and started thinking that perhaps I can add one more?!?

Your thoughts?

dht_tubes · 8 June 2016, 01:07 PM

depends on your collection for now if you have only 2 pcs for all brands

take you time to think about new add EX1 IMHO!!

Your thoughts?

I think 10 is a good number.

Gaijin · 8 June 2016, 01:10 PM

If you are a WIS, as many as you can afford I reckon while still ensuring your financial future.

socialpro · 8 June 2016, 01:13 PM

You could never have enough.

That's the problem with TRF - it keeps pulling you back in and the ever elusive 'enough' satisfaction is hard to come by :)

dualcarb · 8 June 2016, 01:13 PM

Really depends on your wants. For some, there is the ONE. For others, as many as they can afford. For watch lovers, one for every occasion, and of course the "land, sea and air" collection.

RGP · 8 June 2016, 01:48 PM

Just one more!

Muzz · 8 June 2016, 01:55 PM

5 or 6 seems to be a great number:)

Ckci · 8 June 2016, 01:57 PM

I'm not saying how many I have but it has seemed like enough for the last 20-30 days or so but that feeling is starting to wear off.

GB-man · 8 June 2016, 01:58 PM

23

osamu · 8 June 2016, 02:03 PM

I have two, and am thinking that's enough for me as well....

......but that doesn't mean I don't want a Tudor, Blancpain, JLC, Cartier, Grand Seiko, Glashutte, ALS, AP, PP, Journe.

We'll see when the time comes, if I ever have enough money for another watch, maybe I'll go with another Rolex, but there are so many options out there as well.

visualplane · 8 June 2016, 02:05 PM

2 minimum

GeoSid · 8 June 2016, 02:06 PM

N + 1. 'N' being the number you currently have.

So 3 is the minimum

clb521 · 8 June 2016, 02:32 PM

As many as you can afford. When you hit that, buy one more!

This.

Matt93 · 8 June 2016, 02:53 PM

I can't see how it's any less than 6:

Sub, Daytona, GMT, Datejust, PM of your choice (DD for me), Oversize/complication (YM2/Sky Dweller/Deep Sea).

busytimmy · 8 June 2016, 03:18 PM

I consolidated from 3 to 2 and then from 2 to 1. Personally, I feel Rolex sport watches are often very similar... That's not to say I wouldn't own more than one, but it does mean I look at other brands as well more frequently if I'm looking for something a bit different.

I do see myself owning more Rolex watches in the future though. Rolex is the only brand that can do everything, all the time and with such amazing reliability and robustness.

CHOSEN1 · 8 June 2016, 03:25 PM

just need 1 lol. the platona

scombs263 · 8 June 2016, 03:32 PM

Depends how much dough u have to spend. But 2-5 would be pretty ideal.

wuyeah · 8 June 2016, 03:32 PM

let me see...

1. DateJust
2. DayDate Platinum
3. Vintage Sub
4. Modern Sub
5. vintage GMT Pepsi
6. Modern GMT Pepsi
7. Milgauss
8. Explorer II polar
9. Yacht Master II TT rose gold
10. maybe Anniversary LV

I think 8-10 sounds about right.

armen34 · 8 June 2016, 03:34 PM

You can have many variations of the same watch, depends on how much you want to put down on watches.

Loevhagen · 8 June 2016, 03:38 PM

I thought the ultimate answer was 42.

Dr.Smellody · 8 June 2016, 03:55 PM

Ha ha! Never enough.

ronin_ph · 8 June 2016, 04:10 PM

Was just thinking about this. What the perfect number is, that is. Was at 12 and liquidated some recently. At some point, seemed like I was buying things for sake of it. Only have one wrist.

To me, now, the sweet spot seems to be about 6-7, while still maintaining some variety of style and function.

I think Matt Jacobson (Facebook/hodinkee) said something like I don't need to have every expression of a reference as long as I have the right reference.
