What is your “state of the collection”?

This is my 3000th post and wanted it to count
I was fortunate enough to have acquired great watches. Kept many and sold some (duplicate or didn’t like)
This is the state of my collection today

If you have 1 watch or 50, what’s the state of your current collection?

My signature below tells my collection.

I have an AP RO 15400 incoming and the DJ41 is out. I’m also waiting for my white dial DayC.

I don’t inspire to add any more Rolex watches. IMHO you are Rolex heavy and you should try to sell some of your divers and try out AP or PP.

You have a great and beautiful collection regardless. Enjoy!

Sick collection. You have more SS sport watches than any Rolex AD in the world. What do you plan on adding to fill that one last spot?

thanks. I always wondered what’s “hidden” in those AD vaults. I bet they have all the white Daytonas and blue skyD we’re hoping for!
I have that spot saved for the white daytona! Not sure when/if it will happen but hoping soon!

I have a sub bluesy, sub hulk, and a breitling navitimer. I feel like my collection lacks a dress watch and a pure "everyday" watch. Thinking of adding the Ball trainmaster kelvin for the dress watch and a YM sunburst blue dial as the everyday!

I feel like I am close to completing my collection. I am next to receive a Daytona C and a Pepsi and will likely be content with it. This pic is missing my V series 16610 sub and my 116610 Black sub as I plan to give the 5 digit sub to my son.

I am at 4 watches ... 5 if you count my weekend mow the lawn watch.

2 Rolex's (one is my first watch 1994 DJ, and a Sub C - 3 months old) , a Seamaster, and a Breitling Aerospace. The Aerospace gets the least amount of wrist time - though it is a great 2 timezone watch and has a TI bracelet.

I am content. Nothing is really appealing to me now except a 116710LN - not actively shopping for the watch, and I won't pay over retail, but when I find a new one at an AD ... I will probably pull the trigger.

I got an SD4K recently so this is my current collection. I would like to change the SD43 for a Pepsi GMTII but I don’t have high hopes

All impressive watches individually, and I like Rolex a lot, but I don’t get why you want/need 3 Daytona’s, or 5 submariners, or multiples of any model. Buying every watch that’s ‘in’ doesn’t really give you a great collection as a whole. In my opinion.
Soon as I get my GMT batman the GMT pepsi will be getting sold. Same with the hulk and my 116610.

You've got a nice collection of Rolex watches, have you thought about buying other brands?

My small 3 watch collection:

1. Omega SM300
2. Rolex BLNR
3. Rolex Daytona white C

As good an SS Rolex collection as you can get, I'd look at other brands and metals now for some diversity.
