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!

Wow nice

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.

smym18 · 4 August 2018, 06:05 AM

I could see having multiple of the same models but different color (like me and many others here having a black and green Sub), but why two or more identical watches?

BobDyl · 4 August 2018, 06:06 AM

No problem that I can see. All different, right?

Nope, clearly no problems here.

sensui · 4 August 2018, 11:28 AM

It's all relative....I really don't see a problem either....but it'd be a different story if you ask that question to the wife.

Nice one! IMO this isn’t duplication as they’re all distinctive in some way (movement, case, ref).

I wish there was a modern 40mm reverse panda like that one for sale today.

Such a shame these modern disks are not full circles. The original look so much better.

Problem? What problem?

I think it’s only a problem when the 100th duplicate arrives in the collection.

Whoever has a problem with this has a problem.

Greg5512 · 4 August 2018, 09:44 PM

Great post and collection!

Rebuilding my collection...Hulk and 5513 are the foundation

Old Geezer · 4 August 2018, 11:15 PM

I don’t buy duplicates but I do have different variations of the same models. I like GMTs and Subs.

joshua182 · 4 August 2018, 11:16 PM

That daytona collection is quite something!

Torque Time · 5 August 2018, 01:50 AM

Nope...and I think it is a waste. If you have the means to buy multiple Rolex, buy something different and expand your inventory.

Everything on you favorite watch can be replaced if damaged.

Some of the watches in this thread would be very difficult to replace. Having a daily wear favourite or two and a pristine example (or two) for careful use makes perfect sense to me. I want my 16710 pristine and I don't know how loaded I'd have to be before paying 2018 16710 prices wouldn't be a concern. So I'll probably be opting for the Tudor at some point.

When that Nigerian prince comes through for me I'd love a collection of multiple references of the same models. This surely isn't a waste but what any mad wealthy Rolex collector would do.

BOA · 5 August 2018, 05:15 AM

Did I just see a four pack of Pepsis? :)

Golf&Watches · 5 August 2018, 07:28 AM

Yes, I have nine 16710's. They are all different, one of each bezel reference of the SEL's, seven are NOS, so two to go. Yes, I now this is an issue.

maylebox · 5 August 2018, 09:33 AM

I don't see a problem with it. Buy what you like and what you want in your collection. Currently I have multiples of a few references but that's only because I ran across a few deals too good to pass up. I've been in no great hurry to get rid of the duplicates but I'm considering a couple other watches and two or three of these would go to fund those purchases
