So How Many Rolex Watches Do You Have and Which One Do You Wear The Most?

Poll

I am curious with all the new models as to what the results will look like. I am guessing that the new ceramic GMT will be in the top 3 ....maybe even #1.

thanks,

In the family, wife, daughter and self there are six watches.

The one I wear is a new GMT II with the ceramic (I think) bezel, a bezel for which for which I have no love. My original GMT (now lost) was a 1959 model with a Pepsi bezel which suited me just fine.

SubC GMTIIC Milgauss GV. SubC gets by far the most wrist time.

Three:

1. Brand new 18k YG Daytona with champagne Paul Newman dial with black subdials;

2. TT Submariner with blue dial and bezel (M Serial); and

3. TT GMT Master II with champagne dial with diamond and ruby markers.

I wear the Daytona the most. To me, a 18k YG Daytona is the ultimate Rolex.

Have a 16700 Pepsi GMT, 116610LV Hulk, 116520 Daytona, 116660 DSSD, and 116710 GMTIIC (just got it this week). My DSSD has seen way more wrist time than any other and I anticipate the GMTIIC will see tons too. Getting a 114060 and giving up the Hulk as it has had little wrist time. I wear my DSSD essentially as my go to watch. I love the 16700, but it is in such great condition, I only wear it when I am not wrenching on something, which is a rare occasion lately.

Six (see my sig). Most used at the GMTII-c and the GV Milgauss. Best daily wearers ever! Then my SS Daytona. Least used are my RG Daytona and DD and LV Sub 'cause they are my 'special' event watches.

Too many.... But I always want just one more!...

Currently, I would say the weekly rotation for now is daytona, dssd, and Gshock.

I have 2, the Deep Sea and the Sub LV. Since my wife wears the LV it's the DSSD for me! I'm at the Cape right now with my Pam 24 which I love, but I miss my Deep Sea badly!

I tend to wear the DJ more often because they are more comfortable for everyday wear

SubC, SubCLV, DSSD and a milgauss GV.

I pretty much split time between the LV and the DSSD with the DSSD maybe edging out the LV. Wore the milgauss about twice or so and although it's absolutely wonderful I'm far more drawn to the subs. I plan to pick up a 216570 white which may push the LV out of second.

I just have one, my 14060 sub.

I did have a second, an oyster date for a while, but I never wore it. I liked my sub too much so I wound up selling it.

Since I've bought my watches: I've gotten married, bought a house and have some other good things going on so adding another will probably be out of the question for a while so I'll be very happy with the one I have.

Only One at A Time!

As the Sultan of Brunei said in an interview many years ago, dismissing a question about whether or not he owned a thousand Rolexes (true), : ".... but I can wear only one at a time"!

Had 5, left with 4 but trying to cut down to 3. Favorite would depend on phases but I definitely like the ones with YG a little more.

1. 16610LV- 2008 Sub Anniversary Edition. I love this watch!

2. 116334- Date Just II- stainless with dark blue dial with white markers.

DJII is a suit/work watch only. Sub is on my wrist the rest of the time.

Several, but the TT GMT and the Exp are getting the most time right now. I'm slowly bringing the PO 8500.
