i have

Panerai

Tudor

Omega

Seiko

in my collection as well

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

I am on the "list" for:

Patek 5167

Patek 5164

FPJ CB

Maybe SkyD

If i had to go three:

Never know what Basel will reveal

Been collecting a long time!

possible acquisition list and they all fit my wrist nicely I must say!!!

Patek 5167

Patek 5164

FPJ CB

Truly fantastic collection, well done.



The only thing I would say is, if funds allow, maybe add a Sub (any Sub) & a JC DeepSea - then you really would be 'done'....until Basel '19 of course...

Thanks

[Rolex.c6]

Impressive collection. Sit back, enjoy!

[bruinmd]

congrats.

If I was you and wanted to keep the collection at 5, I would swap out one of the Daytonas for a Skydweller, and one of the GMT's for a Hulk.

[brucethemanlee]

Great 5! Same as mine, except for my 14060M over the SD43.

I would consider flipping the SD for a Hulk and adding a blue SkyD or polar ExpII. Add a DD40 if you’re not only into steel. Then modern collection complete

not a fan of the green shade on the hulk.
SkyD perhaps

I'm not really a DD person

In order, you need to add:

Skydweller blue
Hulk
SD43
Jc dssd
DJ with rhodium dial to get a bit dressier /classic

Go for it man 5 is just one hand.

Another 5? HAHAHA!!

Ive never been a sub fan (which is why i got the SD4K)
SkyD perhaps
Explorer? tried it. it just doesn't look right on my wrist

Thanks. I love the 5. However SD4K and BLNR wasn't always popular. SD4K was quite hated when i purchased mine and the BLNR was never in this high demand it is now

I do have Panerai, Tudor, Omega, and Seiko in my collection.

Have my eye on Patek and FP Journe

[Watchdaytona]

Any thoughts on getting a vintage Daytona 6263 possibly.

[Starwalker]

I wouldnt add anything more. You have the best sub, the nicest ss gmts and both daytonas. Adding anything else would be redundant, would start looking at other brands! but saw that you have panerio, seiko and omega...would pick up the 5167, fpj CB and also look at the Moser Pioneer!

[brigadoonb]

Fantastic current collection! I would go old school .......16760

[KNY]

That is one heck of a quintet! You can definitely just keep those and be happy, and I've found 5 to be an ample collection to be able to have a satisfying and useful rotation. BUT, it seems there's always another one catching your eye. If the internet did not exist, I bet many of us would have just one

[alexintheair]

Yes, you need a hulk

[jb335]

Great collection.

It's all personal preference, but I would do some swapping.

For example; I'd flip one of the Daytona's and the SD for a DD40.

[T4ME]

116613

[shivayash]

Vintage pieces?

[SS Oyster]

Hulk and SD DS Blue

[Dr.Brian]

You should get a vintage version of all of them, and then a Gold version.
At that point you can be done with Rolex and move on to AP, VC, Patek and some of the hand made independents.
Then you will be done.

[dafuture]

Definitely think that's plenty. Congrats on getting the BLRO, that's at the very top of my list.

[brucethemanlee]

Great collection of 5 sought-after SS Rolex watches!

Thanks!

not a big fan of green dials, especially the shade of green on the hulk - that's why i don't have a hulk. that said i did like the green on the Panerai PAM 911

Great Collection

Thanks! I am going to chill until Basel!

I hope nothing i like comes up at Basel!

Yeah enough of Rolex, for now at least...

On the look out for:

Patek 5167
Patek 5164
FPJ Chrono Bleu

Thanks.

i like repetition ....boring i know.

On the look out for:

Patek 5167
Patek 5164
but not a fan of AP

Originally Posted by LondonLukeM

I personally found that when i added some PM pieces to my collection I started to enjoy them much more than the steel pieces.
Enjoy :-)

Thank you
yeah never been a PM but then again I've never owned a PM....so maybe i do need to try it out!

[dardeca]

Amazing collection...congrats!

[bonovox]

Epic!

[1watch]

Why not a fan of AP? Royal Oak is an iconic watch and a whole different level than Rolex

I just don't wear too anything dressy

Not a huge fan of the LVc shade of green

Patek 5167
Patek 5164
FPjourne Chrono bleu

have my eye!!

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
Not a fan of the LVc shade of green
SD50 too beefy for me

A) Swap the redundant Batman for the Hulk



Or if feeling more adventurous



B) Swap out Black Daytona and Batman for a Smurf



Even better..



C) Swap out Black Daytona and Batman to put towards a sporty PP (Nautilus or Aqua) or Rose Gold Day Date

C sounds good but sure I'd swap out....just go for a PP directly

Nope, you need an OP39 white or Explorer 214270 :-)

You certainly need a hulk to balance the color variation

[mangoseed]

Did you know that there are other manufacturers besides Rolex? >_<

Try looking at VC or Glashütte Original
