You’re not wrong….but, then also wrong.

Potatowarrio89 · 9 May 2023, 11:38 AM

swap the explorer for a Dj 41 and u are done ... or maybe a skydweller seeing that u like bigger watches

IMO a collection is a variation of watches that you enjoy. I don’t really get buying a chrono for a collection if there isn’t a piece you love. I “like” Daytona but it’s too small for me. Thus, you like what you like…. I have two subs because I love subs. But they are different enough for me. I’m not saying I’m done and I too am on the list for a modern ss gmt so we will see. But sounds like you’re pretty content with your lineup, as you should be. If I had to let one go it would be explorer.

The current purchasing process with Rolex is definitely #1 hindrance to growing collection. I too thoroughly enjoy a random purchase on a vacation and that’s just not happening in 99% of cases.

I’m on the same path- DJ, kermit, and a ND. Holding for a Pepsi and if a Daytona comes I’ll take it. Gna let go of the ND and Dj, keep Kermit and Pepsi.

Never Enough

Watchsprings · 9 May 2023, 02:07 PM

Great collection, if you are truly content then yes you are done. Enjoy them they are all awesome pieces!

DoctorsOrders · 9 May 2023, 02:14 PM

I will admit, it is getting rather discouraging.

macplee · 9 May 2023, 02:21 PM

I love you collection and how you use it and think about it. but ....ask yourself if you had to lose one....i would drop the SD43. replace with a DD PM / or daytona (these are 2 iconic Rolex) - ps i love my explorer 2 and gmt too....must keep

The Perfect Watch doesn't really exist and I've come to see that what I have comes rather close.

So my collection is complete? I've resolved to delete something else if I were to add anything. (My name is still out there for a BLNR but I'm not sure I'd want that to happen.)

CHNR
- First watch purchased from an AD!
- I think it's amazing! Certainly works best "dressed up" but not out of place in casual environments either.
- It's not just the looks but also the slight "heft" compared to the SS models
- BLNR would not replace this

SD43
- My daily for many years
- Totally comfortable for me although I understand it's not for everyone
- Don't want this gone either

Exp2
- My travel watch, love having the GMT function
- Also somewhat of a "beater", I don't baby it
- Could potentially let this go for a BLNR... but then again I already own a fantastic GMT so why even consider this?

Nice rotation!

It might exist. It just hasn't found you yet. Close will likely not be close enough. But at least you'll keep more of your money in the meantime.

Lets see how it goes.

HogwldFLTR · 9 May 2023, 07:07 PM

Nice trio; it's your money, do as you like. You're a better man than me if you can live with three!!

Little machines · 9 May 2023, 07:10 PM

Very nice trio ! Never is a complex word when it comes to collecting Rolex .

Dmcnill · 9 May 2023, 07:58 PM

I would have said you get done with this fantastic 3 that you own but who knows? I can't say never till you get the next call.

cdm765 · 9 May 2023, 08:01 PM

Hell - I could go my whole life with any one of those three watches. Awesome collection! Nicely done.

travisb · 9 May 2023, 08:03 PM

That's a solid trio right there!

Spurman · 9 May 2023, 10:07 PM

U have 3 perfect rolexes.
In terms of sizing and wearibility.

The only missing is prob a datejust. Or a daydate or a full gold rolex.

I mean u dun even require a pepsi or batman or girl. U got the rootbear.

watchwatcher · 9 May 2023, 11:16 PM

Those would be a good 3 to quit on.

Calatrava r · 9 May 2023, 11:18 PM

You need a DD40 for collection balancing.

OG1982 · 10 May 2023, 12:51 AM

You seem to have the sports models covered. I’d look at a DJ on Jubilee for a bit of balance and call it a day!

Failing that, a BLNR on jubilee would be a good replacement for the Explorer, gives you the functionality you like and also adds a bit of variety with a different bracelet.
