As far as i know Rolex doesn't make Exp on oyster flex. Oyster flex i think only comes on PM models. Do you mean Exp with after market rubber strap?

Enough? It’s never enough; but that’s a heck of a great start. You could add another brand, or a blue or green dial Rolex. And PM is always a consideration. I’m like you. I do love the sport Rolex and that’s all the Rolex I keep.

Enough for what? You've already got duplications in function. What are you looking for? If you've got the collecting addiction, you'll never have enough. If you wear watches to tell time, you've got too many. These are largely depreciating assets if you wear them rather that storing them unworn, stickers intact. So, is the benefit you get (and what is that) worth the cost?

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?

Respect ... DJ or even DS champagne dial with flutted bezel might make it perfect 6 having one for dressy occasion

Hahahaha....you're such an enabler!

I do have other brands... this is just my Rolex collection. I'm fortunate to have Omega, Panerai, and Tudor in the fold as well.

I'm either on the list, on the hunt, or seriously interested in (in order of priority or desire)
  1. Patek 5167A
  2. JLC - Reverso
  3. Rolex Daytona 116509
  4. FP Journe Chrono Bleu
  5. DJ 36 - blue dial
  6. Exp 1
  7. ALS - Datograph - up/down (GRAIL)

the SkyD is too large and bulky.

Sub? not current generation. If the "new" Sub whenever that comes out has slimmer lugs then i will consider it. For now, the SD4K kicks butt for my diver

I would look to add some older pieces. Some 5 digit stuff. Maybe a 5 digit Explorer Polar. Or swap one of the Daytonas for a 520. Or just add a 520. Hell maybe even go for a birth year Sub or something.

Patek 5167 is certainly high on the list.

I've also taking a liking to the AP 15450 in blue

ALS dato? It's BLOODY expensive brand new. Selling all five of my SS Rolex watches would get me there, barely.
