Should i get another Rollie?

As said above, if you've got a 2 year anniversary coming up with your SeaDweller, just purchased a DAytona a month ago and perfectly happy with the 2 watches but caught on with the Rolex bug. Would you purchase another Rolex or just chill it?

If the desire is there it has to be satiated.

Seems like you need a GV

get something totally different than the 2 you have. GMT-C LV might be too similar to your SD. Polar would be different... lol-x gives a good recommendation for GV.

I voted for the PE II, but I didn't mean it. If I got a 2 year anniversary coming up with my SeaDweller and just purchased a DAytona a month ago and am perfectly happy with the 2 watches but caught on with the Rolex bug. I would get an EXP I because it is what I want.

Do you Need another Rolex or do you WANT another Rolex? If you get another Rolex, would you then want yet another Rolex? Is there an end to it? .........NO!!! hahahaa

Trust me, i am going thru the same dilemma!So first watch your finances and then by all means if you have extra cash sitting in bank, go ahead and buy a new Rolex.

Saladin - you are so right. Where does a Rolex collection end?

I still need a Milgauss GV, a YM and the GMT IIC. That will complete my collection.

But will it? But that time the new sub would be out and I would have changed my mind about the DSSD. That's another 2 that I would then need.

Rolex would have come up with a new Exp II and I would need both the B&W. Pretty vicious cycle. Just buy and buy and buy

Don't you think Rolex lives off people like us?

JJ I can pick up many Rados for the price of a Rollie! oops Rolex!

Seems like the GMT IIc is a great choice among TRF'ers.

Steve, maybe I should head on down to my AD and strap one on and see if it smiles at me.

If you are able to get one of the above - why not? I'd go w/ the GMT IIc.

Cooling off for a while is probably the best bet. I'm assuming you're like most and don't have tremendous discretionary funds at your disposal for luxury watch purchases. If you do, get another!
