Friends, I sold my Polar Expy II with a heavy heart and now I am down to one Rolex (16610). I had to pay for some other expenses that took priority

How many of you are in the same boat? I mean one Rolex. Can you live with one? I think I can because I have other two non-Rolex - Speedy and Wenger.

niels74 · 24 October 2008, 12:35 AM

hmm, not sure there, perhaps, as i have some Pan's , breiltings, cartiers , but the thought gives me goose bumps.. as long as there is some sun protection on my wrist...

GradyPhilpott · 24 October 2008, 12:36 AM

I have but one and that's enough for now.

toph · 24 October 2008, 12:36 AM

yes i sold one of my 2 and have a Panerai on the way also have hamilton sieko etc

One Rolex is enough for me!

acce1999 · 24 October 2008, 01:16 AM

I guess owning one (1) Rolex would be a luxury for most people... unless you are amongst us...

Owning a Polar Explorer II myself I am sorry to hear that you had to let it go. The Sub would have given you more money... but perhaps your Sub is to you what my Explorer 14270 is to me.

For many years I had only one; the Explorer 14270, that is on my wrist as I write this. It is THE keeper for me. The others I could get rid of... but it would be a BIG problem for me if my financial situation depended on my watches only... but who knows what might happen in times like this.

I wish you luck, solving your issues, and eventually getting hold of an Ex II again.

Best,

A

One sub is more than enough for anybody!!!!!!!!!!!!

You did the right thing.

Time Traveller · 24 October 2008, 01:30 AM

How about none? I sold a Sub a few years back, my only Rolex I'd ever owned.

: dummy:

I still cry about it.

But I'm working towards another soon.

I love the Explorer! Just gorgeous, understated, and classy.

Mr. E · 24 October 2008, 01:48 AM

I've only ever owned 1 and I think it's enough but I do find myself browsing the classified on this site.

Very true! I am a one-Rolex owner (see below). More would be nice? - yes. But I can only wear one at a time, so I am basically content. I figure I'm lucky to have three really great, classic watches to choose from on any given day. That makes me "watch-poor" only by the standards of a place like this.

pricojorge · 24 October 2008, 02:15 AM

yes i currently only own my SD ... thats rolex wise of course
but i have a breitling as well

omg · 24 October 2008, 03:38 AM

I have one RL for 5 years until I found this forum

I have 4 RL..

But I found just one watch have most of the wrist time maybe all the time now since I have 2 bezels.

One watch are fine, stuffs come and gone. It will come back when you are ready.

Bisquitlips · 24 October 2008, 03:40 AM

I am a one Rolex man! At least so far unless someone wants to send me 12K $$

ditto. I have no intention of buying a second one in the near future but I too find myself browsing watchnet trading posts very often

Dan Pierce · 24 October 2008, 03:45 AM

Just one oyster? I thought I could but truth be told at least 2 are essential. However 4 to 6 work best for me.

Thank you! All compliments are accepted and duly noted for future reference!

chopperboy · 24 October 2008, 04:40 AM

Richard,

I have actually sized down a little. I gave my brother my Stainless GMT IIc, and sold my Stainless/Platinum Yatchmaster to a very good friend of mine. So, this is what I'm left with for now! I do find myself wearing my Sea-Dweller & Explorer II most of the time, and wearing my all gold GMT IIC during an evening out and through-out the weekends.

JJ Irani · 24 October 2008, 05:03 AM

2 are just right - not too heavy and not too light!!

YuppieKid · 24 October 2008, 05:48 AM

Although, that one is my 3rd Rolex.

frostie · 24 October 2008, 05:52 AM

Ι've got only one too

If things go well hopefully next christmas i'll be able to buy my grail watch

Living with one watch sometimes is boring but you know that it is always there just for you and i sometimes i cant stop admiring my only watch

It's warm feeling when something that you own makes you happy

limbo · 24 October 2008, 06:04 AM

I've only got the one Rolex now, won't be buying any more Rolexs for some time. I do have a small collection of other watches - Omega, Tag, Tissot, Frederique, Seiko, Bulova, etc.

VDENTALS · 24 October 2008, 10:25 AM

rolex_addict · 24 October 2008, 10:33 AM

even though you are just down to one,, you still have one of the best watches ever made!
