My boring or classic? Rolex+ collection

[kieselguhr]

You really shouldn’t worry about what others think of your collection. You curated this collection your way. It’s your preferred style that matches your personality.

Me personally wouldn’t have a collection like this, every single one being similar monotonous colors and styling.

I prefer variety of styles, function, colors. I don’t match my watch to my clothing. Nor do I match the watch to the activity.

Looks great to me

I think you have a great collection.
You have selected each piece for particular characteristics that suit you, and you have done that well.

A simple way to enlight your collection would be to change bracelet to a nice leather strap on one of your 5 digits Sub!

Or consolidate by trading old Sub, Explorer and white OP for a PM piece (Daytona on OF maybe).

Would definitely keep white flutted DJ!

So I’m in a relatively frequent shift between thinking these are perfect and classic on the one hand, and somewhat boring on the other. And when I start to think boring I have to tell myself I’m a moron and am probably getting influenced by the hype.

Without a doubt a classic collection. I wouldn't say boring, but maybe a tad redundant. Mainly because I think the Submariner, Explorer, and OP39 could be the 3 most redundant watches in the Rolex catalogue.

I personally would only make 1 move here. I'd keep the 16610. I'd add the other 2 Submariners to the OP39 and trade that for a Pepsi. And then I'd call it a day.

The other thing I'd consider is if your Speedy Pro is the Hesalite version, switching to a Sapphire sandwich. Just my personal preference, but I'd like to have at least 1 watch with a fairy decently finished/decorated movement that is visible.

Definitely no need for a traditional dress watch. You have the DJ41, ExpI, or the Speedy (on strap) that can easily do dress watch duties these days.

This collection is amazing and has its own character and appeal, thanks for sharing as it is very inspiring.

It's boring to me. But you do you!

Looks bland and repetitive to me but each to their own.

If you’re asking you must be feeling it too…

[Gab27]

Ain't nothing wrong with black and white. That said, your collection seems to be asking you for a PM addition?

[TheHulk]

Ill be honest.... SUPER BORING!!!!!!!!!

[ltmgeller]

Awesome collection, I'd add some color.

[Malum]

Most people would look at your collection or any collection and say , that’s boring it’s just a bunch of watches .

[IR201]

Hi all, thanks a lot for the brilliant reactions!!! You guys are the best. I have to apologize sincerely because my original post was horribly unclear!!! I selected the pieces of my collection that I am constantly debating whether they are all I need, or too basic. They are not my only pieces. It's been fantastic to read all of your insights, half making me feel like the minimalist watch collector I WISH I WAS, and the other half calling the collection boring. I feel like you are all right. Part of me wishes I could just take even one of these and call it a day. Probably one of the subs. But I'm too far gone!!

[Ensign]

There’s a lot of heart in that collection; it really shines. I can see a theme of “simple, good design” in your watches. Congratulations!

Sell everything, keep the vintage date sub and speedy. Add a new SS and PM Rolex. Think it would liven things up since you had to ask. More wrist time in a 4 piece heavier hitting collection.
