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.

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

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

not a fan of the hulk but perhaps SkyD

Thanks

on the look out for

Patek 5167

PAtek 5174

FPJ CB

Thanks!



Hard to keep all five in rotation. 3 at most for me



what's after 5? Sextet?

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


no swapping but perhaps add

Patek 5167

PAtek 5174

FPJ CB

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

I am one that believes "every collection needs a Sub". That being said, the Sea-Dweller is nice, but I would flip it for a either No Date SubC or LVc.

I have five Rolexes, several other brands and a lot of Seikos, Citizens, etc. I do have too many watches, because some nice ones get little wrist time.

Your approaching the limit imho. Adding more and more watches will bring you less enjoyment + you wont be able to enjoy them anyway.

If your going to add I reckon 1 more maximum. If I was you consolidate them into 3-4 and upgrade to models and different brands. Rolex is not the pinnacle of watches plenty of others much better. Try different complications and functions. Sometimes simple 3 handed watches just get plain boring.

Try an IWC perpetual calendar or something more interesting.

I consider my SD4K a Sub on steroids. I like the case shape of SD4K better than Sub

You have a sophisticated enough of an "eye" to assemble a breathtaking collection.

Yet you have to ask advice from a forum of strangers? Hmmmm.

Thanks! I'd like to think I have a sophisticated "eye" but why not solicit feedback?
Yes, from complete strangers but doesn't hurt to have opinions, whether i act on them or not, in whole or in part at least it's out there and am making an informed decision.
There are zero guarantees that people who know you as a person will give you accurate or appropriate answers either

That's pretty close to being the perfect modern collection. Add a SkyD and done.

Never enough, five is too many but six is not enough. We're all hooked.
