Nothing but Rolex, and probably never will have anything else.

Variety for me (although I'd trade my other two for either a GMT II Pepsi). My current stable includes the following 3: Rolex Sea Dweller, Omega Seamaster GMT "Great White" and Seiko Orange Monster (arrived today)

The Orange Monster is an unreal watch for less than $150

As far as Rolex is concerned, you are all class, Jocke.....and I'm proud of it!!

Get whatever you like and appeals to you, my friend.

I'm sticking with ROLEX ONLY - that's my policy and I'll abide by it!!

Rookie Post

J.J. Sorry First post. Had a very diverse collection, noticed I was only wearing the Rolex's. Traded online a Panerai, Breitling, and a Carl F. Bucherer for another new Daytona.( white to wear often, black to not((stickers off))) Figures to about half of what I had paid on the deal, but the first time I wore the white face a waiter said "nice watch" and that helped to ease the pain. Now she lives happily with 'blackie' and the GV Milgauss, and the Sea-Dweller.

I started my collection about 8 years ago with an Omega and purchased my fiancee one last Christmas. My next watch was an IWC and recently I purchased a Rolex. Crazy thing is that now that I have finally got a Rolex I find my self looking more and more at Rolex's only.

Cheers - JJ

Many Rolexes a few Tudors, a Breitling Top Time three-register chrono, an Omega Constellation and a few vintage watches from the 1940's-1950's.

If you were JJ Irani's child, you'd wear a Rolex.

I only had Rolex until this week. Then I picked up a Tudor. Does A Tudor with a Rolex signed case still count as a Rolex?
