Are these five SS enough?!?

[brucethemanlee]

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?

no, but very close. I would add Hulk, DSSD blue and SkyD blue

[Tony8959]

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.

Exactly this!

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

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

Agreed!!

This is really just a 3 watch collection so you do need a lot more, and at least 1 PM and some size variation.

LOL! Perhaps a PM

I recommend a blue dial fluted DJ2.

DJ maybe....
I just don't wear too anything dressy

Those Daytonas are gorgeous

Thanks!
Not a huge fan of the LVc shade of green

Patek 5167

FPjourne Chrono bleu

But we’d need to know how they fit into the rest of your collection to make a full assessment. I seem to recall you’d gotten a CK2998 at one point. Anything on the dressier side of things?

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

Thanks nice to have some "spares" laying around LOL

SD50 too beefy for me

Yup - flip the black Daytona for the blue SkyDweller and add the LVc

pink gold diamond set? perhaps not LOL

but looking into it!

Unfort I passed on Sd43, DSSD and the blue SkyD because they were all too large for my wrist when i tried them on

thinking about it....

[ozwatchguy]

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

[TickTockChuck]

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.

[Andad]

You are getting there.

[envuks]

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

Have you thought about maybe a PM piece next?

[liu_watch]

You’re done?
Is Rolex the only brand you like?

[Chilly Coconut]

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.

[Starhutch]

Great collection...my money is on you are not done

[huncho]

nice collection. personally would flip 1 of the daytonas for a skydweller or an AP RO at some point

[The Libertine]

Get a 5-digit.

I was thinking the same.

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

[Rashid.bk]

You need a yellow gold DD to round it off.

[watch81]

Great collection, missing yellow gold I feel.

[codecow]

No birth year? I think you’re just starting out and have a nice sample of modern pieces.

[Roger Lococco]

A blue dial YM 1 would go very well with this outstanding collection.

Looks like the whos who of stainless Rolex in the past 5 years. Nice.

[brandrea]

Fantastic collection indeed

If it were me, I’d add a Seadweller 43 or Dblue and a Skydweller Not that what you have isn’t awesome because it is
