Feel like I've manged to acquire 3 nice watches upto now after a total of 7 purchased rolex watches since 2003,must say I wish I still had all 7 but that's the way it goes flipped and sold the others for cash when skint and to get the three I've got today

pd999 · 6 February 2016, 12:48 AM

I'd say even just two counts as a collection

But the more the merrier, so don't stop buying!

Abdullasaif · 6 February 2016, 12:57 AM

Yup definitely! I had 3 for a while

Oyster Al · 6 February 2016, 12:57 AM

I guess it depends on what three but for sure a colllection....daytona, gmt, sub is awesome....or maybe a hulk, smurf, and two tone sub for three very different subs....

Tmac478 · 6 February 2016, 12:59 AM

I definitely feel my Sub, GMT and YM qualifies as a "collection".

beshannon · 6 February 2016, 01:04 AM

Yes

AK-Rolestar · 6 February 2016, 01:06 AM

3 watches qualifies as a collection.
2 watches qualifies as a collection.
1 watch with the "intent" to collect more also qualifies as a collection.

I just found out I'm a collector

rmlovett1 · 6 February 2016, 01:16 AM

Definitely!

It's a gentlemen's collection.

Good answer.

Rogdogg · 6 February 2016, 01:29 AM

I have 3 and consider it a collection

travisb · 6 February 2016, 01:32 AM

For sure!

Glock2710 · 6 February 2016, 01:35 AM

Sure. I would say a collection is in the eyes of the beholder.

droptopman · 6 February 2016, 01:56 AM

Yes it is a collection.

Ruud Van Driver · 6 February 2016, 02:02 AM

'Collection' is plural so I would say more than one is a collection

Boaters · 6 February 2016, 02:06 AM

You bet a collection as by definition is a group of things so two watches would be a collection ... Three is a big collection

silverbullet818 · 6 February 2016, 02:07 AM

My modest collection includes 3 Rolex. Date, Datejust and GMT ii

Looking for a Daytona to round her out.

A Sub well into the future perhaps to round her out.

presario · 6 February 2016, 02:20 AM

Yes! A lot of people think a rotation of 3 is the perfect number with each getting good wrist time. Enjoy!

BigJoe · 6 February 2016, 02:55 AM

If you have more than the one on your wrist right now you have a "collection".

AnythingButTime · 6 February 2016, 03:02 AM

One is for function. (And many today would question even that.) Anything more makes for a collection. The real question is, at what number do you go from collection to illness.

And is there a cure?

Well...if your a constant flipper, than even one or two would be enough to change your label from a watch collector to a WIS Sicko!

fskywalker · 6 February 2016, 03:17 AM

Well, regardless of what the "proper" definition of a collection is, THIS IS MY COLLECTION!

Tokyo Time · 6 February 2016, 03:23 AM

Yup. My collection is a Sub, DD, and Daytona. I think it is the perfect Rolex trifecta but I'll prolly screw things up and aquire a DD40 in the near future
