I'll be jealous, but just enjoy

stapler101 · 3 August 2011, 10:07 PM

Yes, that is the craziest thing I have ever heard!
Send one to me and I won't have you committed

watchf · 3 August 2011, 10:12 PM

I am not a collector by any means, I just like watches so to me owning two watches of the exact same model and series is one too many. I like variety.

You are thinking of getting the new Subc so that would be quite a great difference between that and your 16610 and I see that as different watches but if it was me I would sell one of the duplicate to fund the subc or, fund another watch or put the money in the bank.

RBR76 · 3 August 2011, 10:24 PM

You should get the 16610, Sub LV and Sub C.

To complete the collection, get the Sea Dweller and DSSD as well.

Anyone here with such a collection?

marcinthemiddle · 3 August 2011, 10:25 PM

no.

Texasjim · 3 August 2011, 10:51 PM

Simply, no.

landroverking · 3 August 2011, 11:09 PM

Yes. Unless they are SS TT & gold

working on it, haha, only got the SD and DSSD for now, convinced two other buddies to get the Sub C and Sub ND, another buddy has a SD also, so when we hang out, its fun

Maxtor · 3 August 2011, 11:32 PM

Why not? Watch collecting is about pleasing yourself. So if you want it and can afford it then do it. If you ever change your mind there seems to be a ready market to buy used Rolex watches so it is not like you are stuck.

I like the way you think! An 8-pack of Subs and SDs. I'm a huge Sub fan and want to begin adding vintage ones.

SteKos · 4 August 2011, 01:47 AM

Yes, that is too many. The only sane thing to do is to give one to me. I'll provide it a good home, and I don't have a Sub myself.

Dr. Robert · 4 August 2011, 01:52 AM

You are not crazy......one can't be too rich, too thin or have too many submariners!
The guy w/ the 8 pack's cool......& Mike Wood, what can I say about him....he is akin to Haile Selassie for me!

Yoda · 4 August 2011, 04:53 AM

Simple answer yes. If I had 3 subs I would sell 2 and get another model, maybe a gmt. It's not me and you need to do what makes you smile. Enjoy.

theironchef106 · 4 August 2011, 05:10 AM

Guess I'll probably sell one of the K series when the time comes for me to get the sub C.

Ski Dweller · 4 August 2011, 05:11 AM

You might donate the money to charity and get a tax write off. Or you could hand a dollar day to a homeless mendicant or street urchin every day for the next 15 or 20 years.

I happen to like a theme in a collection. Same series, different watch. Or first editions, or last editions. If you like Subs, you might want to show and appreciate their evolution. If you wear watches all the time, and you have certain social and work requirements you might consider a different style Rolex with another dial color. The two tone GMT's aren't my first choice for a more formal occasion. They tend to clash with the colors and style of my wardrobe or my wife's wardrobe. They also scream a bit with the bright two tone bezel. The black sub is muted, but the colored dial and bezel subs are pretty loud. I happen to love the look, but over the years, I've grown less excited by them. You don't see a ton of yellow cars running about for long, you know? The pepsi bezel thing is generally only appreciated by a collector.

Chipmunk · 4 August 2011, 05:15 AM

I don't think so...... myself, I only like two or four.

TSW · 4 August 2011, 05:24 AM

No not at all!!

ManUtd · 4 August 2011, 05:57 AM

Whatever makes you happy.

Ski Dweller · 4 August 2011, 06:01 AM

Of course, I've been told this: More Subs, more seamen.

Jason71 · 4 August 2011, 06:02 AM

He who dies with the most Submariners..................WINS.

MoosicPa · 4 August 2011, 07:30 AM

I hope not, as I'm up to 5 currently; 16610; 16613/blue; 16613/black; 16618 and 116610LV.

Osbong · 4 August 2011, 10:08 AM

Get three Subs and enjoy, life is short.

godowning · 4 August 2011, 11:20 AM

the more subs the better

harrishc · 4 August 2011, 11:32 AM

I am sure they mean something to you, in which case I don't see why you shouldn't keep all of them. I would probably get an SD or a green sub to complete the sub line collectio.

SUBversive · 4 August 2011, 11:34 AM

You know what, no. If you can afford it and are not diverting child support payments, go for it!
