Are these five SS enough?!?

I am humbled, thrilled, and very fortunate to have obtained some highly desirable SS Rolex timepieces from my AD in New York.

My fabulous five are:

- GMT Master II - 126710 BLRO (Pepsi)
- Daytona 116500 (white)
- Daytona 116500 (black)
- GMT Master II - 116710 BLNR (Batman)
- Sea-Dweller 116600 SD4K

After acquiring the 126710 BLRO (Pepsi) at Christmas, I feel I might be done with Rolex. At this point, I think I am just going to sit back, chill, and enjoy my timepieces.

Famous last words right?

Beautiful modern collection .. have all SS bases covered for the most part. So unless a newly redesigned model comes out or you decide to get some PM pieces I think you’re good.

That’s exactly my thought! I’d consider a SD43 as well

I guess “enough” is relative and is never the case

Thanks!
Nothing dressier and not particularly needed.
One of my siblings currently uses the CK2998

SD50 too beefy for me

It’s never enough until you’ve got every SS in your collection lol

On a serious note I’d add a Hulk or swap it with your black dial Daytona if you wanted to keep it at 5.

Otherwise what you have now is definitely quite enough to enjoy each piece in rotation with equal wrist time

Very nice collection thus far indeed! Well, you have many of the coveted SS models, so most folks would be happy to hold the line there. You just got the wonderful SS Pepsi. All I might suggest is the LVc which makes a fun addition and would add a Submariner which you lack. The next stage might be a move into PM. Good luck and enjoy what you already have nonetheless. Cheers!

It's hard to be done (I've tried it). And of course you haven't reached the summit...... the flagship Day Date. Carry on good sir, your collection is inspiring.

You have amassed most of the current sought after pieces. It's a great collection.

Have you thought about maybe a PM piece next?

What a coincidence that your favorite watches in the Rolex lineup would also be the hardest to acquire and most coveted! Or is that why you selected them to acquire? Don’t you need a Sub LVc?

The psychology of this Forum is fascinating.

I'd move whatever doesn't get worn enough and branch out into something different. Patek, FPJ, Voutilainen... something other than a Rolex.
