I have been a flipper thus far because adding Rolexes is a little unrealistic for me right now. I believe I've found the perfect Rolex for the time being (42mm Explorer 2).

Having two young children and college funds to invest in, I think I'll take a break for a while. But eventually I will add a 36mm Date-Just. I'd also like to get one for my son and daughter one day after a significant achievement and at the proper age to appreciate it.

1 Rolex out of 3 watches total. If I bought another watch, I'm not sure it would be a Rolex. Probably something else to add some diversity to the collection.

I could buy more, but what's the point.

Same for me. Own two.

But will add a WG DD40 down the road.

I love to wear my watches 24/7 so DD will be my week watch, my 16710 M my travel watch and my SDc my weekend / holiday do everything watch.

I wish i someone who could only own one Rolex. It truly is an addiction, when I get a piece the day after I am looking for what I want next. I am only 24 but I don't see an end to this. Each year I am looking to spend more. Someone HELP!!!

TheRolexKingofLV · 27 March 2016, 04:05 AM

That would be like owning only ONE car, or only having ONE girlfriend...things get boring when ya only have ONE choice.

SemperFi · 27 March 2016, 04:29 AM

It took me a lifetime to acquire the one that I own (Explorer 214270) which I'm perfectly satisfied with. I'd like a Black Bay Black to have a diver and maybe someday a 38-40mm Datejust.
But if I never own another Rolex I'll have no regrets.

tudorluv · 27 March 2016, 04:58 AM

had several, flipped one, gifted another, down to one...

Daryl · 27 March 2016, 05:24 AM

I have a Sub Date traded to BLNR. I have a Tudor black bay black . thinking of selling both and get the new ceramic daytona for my only watch :)

Ocean · 27 March 2016, 05:32 AM

I only have one which I wear everyday and promised myself this would be my only one - although I did then buy Mrs Ocean her own one does this count as it wasn't for me

Oh and please talk me out of flipping my watch for the 116618lb I have already got my eyes on

VicLeChic · 27 March 2016, 10:30 AM

I have just one Rolex and to me it's plenty enough. I don't wear it often, far less than other pieces.

I have owned maybe 16 over the years I have 9 right now with an in coming tomorrow FedEx. A GMT II C TT this will be the second one I owned, the first went away in a trade last year.

THC · 27 March 2016, 08:42 PM

One and only one for me...

Dyim · 27 March 2016, 11:27 PM

When I bought my first one 15 years ago, I told my wife this is stupid $ for a watch and that will be the one and only. (Still have it though. I have kept all of mine so far.)

Boy, do I have to eat my words.

Now, I am buying and putting kids name on the warranty. And just started "lending" some out to family.

Car? That's stupid $. Rolex, not as bad.

TRF is like a crack house for an addict, not helping.....

rebel_1 · 28 March 2016, 03:02 AM

I wish I could own just one. I can't even wear just one watch per 24 hour cycle! In all truthfulness, I like different Rolexes / watches for different situations.

kirksingleton · 28 March 2016, 03:09 AM

I keep on thinking about it but don't think that trading in 3 stainless models for one pm is wise. I guess I'll keep saving so I don't need to trade in.

franklin · 28 March 2016, 03:33 AM

I own a Rolex explorer. And a vintage Tudor.

Drkitch109 · 28 March 2016, 05:03 AM

Rolex DSSD and Tudor Black Bay Black

Gray1730 · 28 March 2016, 06:11 AM

I only own one at the moment, which I am very happy with.
However, I can see all too easily how the bug can bite!

greenfan · 28 March 2016, 06:17 AM

Just one, a GMT II, which is in fact two ! Because sometime I have the all black bezel on and then I change it and put the Coke one... so it's two different watches !

Its not easy but it can be done.

The collection for now is a 5711, Speedmaster, the Sub, Portuguese and a reverso

That sounds like a perfect collection! A watch for all seasons!

interesting concept...kind of like alternating NATO watchstraps but more expensive in terms of initial outlay.

being that the average person wouldn't notice the different colored arrows, one could re-create the general appearance of all or most of the existing GMTs by simply alternating the respective bezels...thus eliminating the need to own multiples of the same model. Rolex ADs ought to offer an optional 'variety pack' of various colored bezels for GMT owners/customers. better yet, include one with each new purchase.

kangajack · 28 March 2016, 07:58 AM

I only own one, a 216570 Explorer II Polar. My other watch is a Speedmaster Professional, but after wearing the 216570 for the last 2 months straight, I've virtually abandoned my Speedy. I'd like to add a Sub C, no date or a Datejust 42 to switch it up and to cover for service times. When I sell one of my businesses in the next couple of years, I will probably pick up two watches, a second Rolex for me, and a first Rolex for my wife. For now, I enjoy learning about, and growing my appreciation for watches

I only have owned one Rolex at a time, but I am considering buying a datejust to add.
