Hulk as an only Rolex?

[Sandman42]

Hello everyone,

Advice needed.

I have been a follower of this forum for some time now and i am always amazed at the pictures and advice you have given other members.

I was drawn to the luxury watch market by the mystique of Rolex. Everything about the brand “called” to me and I became attached. The watch that initially “called” to me was the Milgauss about 10 years ago.

I finally made the plunge in 2011 and purchased the Milgauss.

In 2012, when the aura of the green crystal faded I flipped it for a “classic” DJ II.

As I learned more about Rolex, I craved an “original” and flipped for an Explorer 1.

I flipped for a Daytona 116520 (and then a 116500) both white dials, but they did not “sing” to me. At that time I briefly had an LVc but flipped in order to fund something for my wife. To this day it is the only watch I regret getting rid of.

In 2016 I finally realized i wanted more of a sport model and flipped again for my current only Rolex Submariner 114060.

I was very content with being a 1 watch type of guy and wore it everyday in every situation.

About 6 months ago, I started looking outside of the Rolex world, something I never considered, and found myself being drawn to AP and PP.

I started slow by adding a AP Royal Oak 15400. Then came the AP ROC 26320 and then AP ROO diver.

I then went all in on PP and added a 5711, 5712 and finally a 5167.

I have not worn my Sub in months.

There was always 1 Rolex that I went back to, but it didn’t fit in my mind as an “1 and only watch”. The 116610LV aka Hulk. It’s the watch that every time I scroll through pictures on this forum that I stop and take a second (and third) look.

Now that I have other watches, to fill other needs, could I possibly own a green watch as my only Rolex?? It is strange to say, but now that I have looked outside of the Rolex world, I found myself only being drawn to the LVc (and maybe the Pepsi - don’t know until I see it in person). I appreciate all their other watches but would not consider owning them anymore.

Usually what I have learned from reading other long OP posts is that the answer usually lies within their question. Showing their interest and looking for validation.

What I need advice on today is, why is their a hesitancy to have a unique watch as my only from Rolex? From AP and PP I consider that I have 3 of their “classic” or “iconic” watches. Is that the same with the Hulk?
