I'm perfectly happy with one Rolex.

Shoes and purses, on the other hand...

Retirement is 20-25 years away for me. With any luck, and compounding interest, $10k saved by not purchasing a new Rolex could support me for an entire year in retirement.

I have two very different watches - Milgauss and GMT IIc. They each have their time and place and don't really compete with each other.

I have been debating a third, but fear there would be some competition. DJII or Explorer would compete with the Milgauss, and SD or ExpII would compete with the GMT.

I'm pretty sure I'll be happy with my one Rolex but when I come on this forum my eyes-and thoughts-start to wander.....

I often dream I could be happy with one awesome watch. Then reality sets in and remembering why I love to rotate through a collection.

I have a blue sub and a daytona. I could easily do without the daytona but could not do without my blue sub and my navitimer.

Oh oh, me me! I love all my current Rolex's and other watches but when I look at grabbing a watch every morning, my first thought is always to wear this one:



It just makes me smile

I'm happy, but it is difficult to be content. I love all my Rolex watches, but my problem is that I surf the sales forum from time to time. I see a good deal, and I just can't pass it up. Always after the grail also.


I do think that JUST MAYBE I have found something to keep me happy for a while. Should be here tomorrow

I am happy with my one, but saving for more! If I couldn't save, I'd still be happy.

I've just got my 1680 and I'm more than happy with that. But I'll soon have two when the new ExpII comes out.

I have one. I would like two. Just need to get the wife to want me to have two too.

I like to have a rotation of about 5 watchs i wear regularly. keeps it interesting and doesnt get too overwhelming. Plus, it prevents any watches from being neglected wrist time.

I get bored with a single watch, so whenever I change up what I'm wearing, the watch becomes fresh again.

I had many watches from different brands over the last decades, including watches from really expensive brands like PP and others.

Three years ago, I sold most of them because I realized that I want only one brand, and this is Rolex.

And then, I streamlined down to Rolex sporties, all stainless steel, no gold, no two tone.

And then again streamlining to Subs and Sea-Dwellers.

And today, I am really happy with my 116610LN, which gets 95% of wrist time.

Sometimes it takes some time to finally end up with THE ONE watch that makes you happy.....I did it.

And the best is: I don't have anymore this "must have" feeling for other watches.......

This saves a lot of money I can use for other things....

Regards
Tom
