Duplicates?? Anyone Else Have a Problem?
My wife says I have a problem. Often times, if it is a watch that I really like........I try and buy a backup. I guess in retrospect, this has been to my benefit. I would be lying if I said that I didn't own other duplicates.....Subs and SDs primarily, but also GMTs.
Anyone else suffering from this affliction?

Jason, I hear you...but I went in a different direction. I went the reference route, Sub ref # 5513, 1680R, 1680W, 16800, 168000, 16610, 16610LV, 16613, 16600, GMT ref # 1675, 16700, 16760, 16710, 116710, 16750. But I do hear all the time that my collection looks the same. Really doesn't bother me, because I know what I like.

Most of the "sane" people I know think I have a problem by having spent so much money on a watch.
If they only knew... |

I know the dilemma. I have multiple versions of the “same” watch - I.E. 16610LV and an 114060 or three different Planet Ocean models. Nothing wrong with buying and enjoying what you like!

Hey Jason, I feel like that too. Currently in the Rolex collection I have a hulk and BLNR. Really like the SD43, but feel that may be redundant...

T-shirts yes, watches no. Too boring and redundant owning same watches as backup. Maybe if second watch is an investment.

No
I cannot see how this is a wise use of funds. I barely have time to wear what I own, I would never want a duplicate piece of jewelry that just sat.

I have often pondered having duplicates of my favorite reference, namely if I found a good deal on another 16600.

I don't see the point of having duplicate watches and I can't afford it.

It’s only a problem if you suffer with it. If you enjoy every minute of the condition then it’s no problem at all. :)

No, I try to keep madness in the realm of possible curability. Presented with the opportunity to buy a second SD43 from another AD, I decided to decline although temptation was strong.

No criticism from me on this. I do this when I find good shoes that I like. I have a multiple pairs of the same Shell Cordovan loafers from Crocket & Jones and from Alden.

So what is the point of duplicates? I have four, all different. Can't imagine even having a Sub and an SD43.

Shoes wear out, cost far less and change with fashion trends. Multiple identical cars? Multiple identical iPhones? Sorry I don't understand

if you buy duplicates of the same watch same model, you are a hoarder. On a flip side, if you bought 5 16710 gmt with 3186 when it first came out, you are a genius!

Not sure I agree. You’re basically a half-black colored bezel away from having 3 extremely similar looking watches, where in fact from a few feet away look the same. The Hulk, no question is much different.

You are in the wrong place asking this question lol. I'm surprised you only have three, if your were really serious you'd have four, amateur.
