"I will take all six in stainless steel, no need to wrap them!!!”
I wish it was that easy to get SS Rolex watches at an AD. These days it takes patience, perseverance, and a phenomenal AD. Fortunately, I have been blessed with all three.
Ahead of another potential COVID lockdown, I decided to go to the bank to switch out a few watches for the next rotation and took a quick family photo. Definitely all used and slightly abused from the daily grinds of life.
Here is the family photo of my six modern SS Rolex (Pic or it didn’t happen right? LOL!) |

Don't get me wrong, those are some great sought after pieces and congratulations that you've been able to purchase those.
I think most of us would enjoy the possibility to buy these ourselves. But - I always feel like these collections are missing some personality. I would love to see something more out of your collection that aren't just "the hot pieces everybody wants to own". |

These type collections are a bit paint by numbers. But if it's collecting new Rolex sports watches then they are on their way!!

Congrats on an excellent collection! There’s a couple there we have in common and a couple of them I’d love to land :)

Very nice watches. Awesome collection. There are at least 2 watches in your collection that I have been on the 'waiting' list for a few years.

Nice collection of ‘most difficult to obtain from AD’ SS Rolexes. Looks like the only one missing is this, which is arguably the hardest to get: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Frankly, I don’t know why Rolex decided to make the fewest of this model. Personally, not my favorite. I am with OP in terms of the favorites, and not sure I would add this one Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

In other words you've been sucked bigtime into the hype.
If your happy with it by all means enjoy it. To me when I see these collections its just a person who goes out and buys each hyped watch on Instagram. |

Tend to agree. I would sell the Pepsi, black face Daytona and the SD and get a WG GMT Pepsi. Then I add either a Bluesy or CHNR for a little flash. The last watch to add and then drop the mic would be the Platona.

If you can get any of these pieces from your AD at list price there is not much harm or risk in picking them up. They are all worth more than he paid for them right now for sure. He's not the one who got sucked into the hype....it's the rest of the world who would pay him more for these pieces than he did!

To be fair, I’m number one on the list at my AD for one of the most hyped watches in Rolexdom, however, if not for the hype I would not have been aware of the existence of the 116508 John Mayer. Thank you hype!!!

Nice collection. I think a little more variation in material/color and functionality might be a good idea in the future though. A Pilot watch? A dress piece? A PM piece? Having so many variations of the Rolex sport theme is nice because you won't lose money on any of those (since you got them at List from AD....no brainers each one is!) but from the standpoint of having real mood changing/look differentiating choices I'd score some diversity. Time is money!
