My wife had what I call and intervention with me the other day. She gets the watch thing but...finally broke down and said, can you relax and chill and just wear the ones you worked so hard acquired???

I had to stop and think and I do sort of agree that I should just wear these and relax.

New GMT Pepsi
New Daytona C White
Sub C No Date (Foundation that will not move)

This is after I thinned things down and moved the sea Dweller, Daytona C Black, hulk, Explorer Polar White and Blue Pelagos...

When I type it out it does seem to be a problem..

DtownRRS · 28 October 2018, 10:55 PM

Ha! I could definitely see my wife saying the same thing. It's a good line up that you can enjoy for a while. I have a 16750 (30 year old GMT BLRO) a Sub C ND and am hoping my AD comes through with the Daytona C White for my 50th in March. My plan is to enjoy the three for a while since I think it definitely gives the right mix and there are only so many days in a week to mix them up.

travisb · 28 October 2018, 10:57 PM

Your current 3 are perfect! Wear and enjoy!

Boba Fett · 28 October 2018, 11:00 PM

OP you have the perfect air, land and sea collection with the three you have.
Now go look for the dress watch your obviously missing, Lange or PP for example.

Welcome to the help group.
I feel your pain, sometimes with pans over the head.

Fat_ninja · 28 October 2018, 11:05 PM

3 is a good number. Really not that bad. I think the chase is what is fun about rhe hobby. Sometimes we find some peace and solace when we find that piece,...however short lived it may be :)

My wife is an enabler saidly. She has her own list and she has a list for me.

pickettt · 28 October 2018, 11:06 PM

You'd better listen before she takes half of them

cvo · 28 October 2018, 11:09 PM

Perfect setup! You got the main SS models covered. Enjoy wearing them with good health.

watchmework · 28 October 2018, 11:11 PM

You’ve got a great collection as it is Rob, listen to your wife!

faimag · 28 October 2018, 11:21 PM

Just listen to her. She is always right.

How do you split 3 watches?

THC · 28 October 2018, 11:54 PM

Most of us would Love to be told to be happy with those 3

ap1 · 28 October 2018, 11:55 PM

Add hulk back then perfect

Oh, I'm sure any of our lawyer members could explain it better, in more detail.

Dsmith1974 · 29 October 2018, 12:06 AM

You have the holy trinity already..

However, I would add just one 16710. Especially after you moved all those others!

I can’t see how you can improve on those 3. You have nailed it

azs.77 · 29 October 2018, 01:41 AM

You have a great combo. Unfortunately for you and your, it’s going to need a lot more than an intervention to get watches off your mind.

jenedla · 29 October 2018, 01:46 AM

I would sit back and enjoy what you have.....for the moment.
You've done a good bit of flipping in the past XX months/years and seem to have settled into three that you like. Now is the time to relax, squirrel away your watch funds and think about what you want to add next. Take your time and really think about it. Half (if not more) of the fun is the opportunity to look at the forums, see wrist shots, read reviews, and think about what you really want. The watches you want to pull the trigger on now will (most likely) still be there when you finally do decide what you want to add next. Just my $.02 and what I'm currently doing myself.

Nikrnic · 29 October 2018, 02:03 AM

I think you need one more to cover all of the bases, get a Platinum DD40 and call it a day. I'm sorry l couldn't help myself

You do have a fantastic trio to Enjoy.. ..

Drive · 29 October 2018, 02:09 AM

If you’re not gambling, drinking excessively, doing drugs or other women, I would say it’s a pretty inexpensive hobby.

You’re spot on, the chase and the honeymoon are the sweetest.

There is a saying - 'You can have too much time on your on your hands' - normally means you need to fill it with something useful.... Or just buy a new watch .. lol

MJZRolex · 29 October 2018, 05:04 AM

Sounds like a first class lineup. Enjoy the 3 you have for now. You can always change at a later date.

markseattle · 29 October 2018, 05:34 AM

I agree with your wife, seems like you might enjoy the hunt the most. You've got three of the most popular SS Rolex models, you might change it up, but you're not going to do better by most standards.

Wear what you have for awhile and enjoy them, You've got a great collection. Your wife is right.

Mark

Chilly Coconut · 29 October 2018, 05:47 AM

Sorry, I can’t reassure you. I suggest you try and find contentment in the awesome watches you already have. Staying off this forum for a while may be the only way for you to do that.
