One watch guy her for about 4 years. The Submariner is extremely versatile and checks all of the boxes for me. Can go from beach to boardroom to cocktail party.

Watches are not wives. You don't have to have just one all your life. Polygamy is perfectly allowed as long as you can afford

I have four Rolexes, but I'm thinking I may pare down my collection (8 watches) to just one Rolex, one Omega, one GS and one AP.

Then I will be a one Rolex guy, but still not a one-watch guy. That will never happen.

For thirty-seven years I've lived by the principle of...choose once, but choose wisely. But then my father passed and willed me his Rolex.

Now I have two.

I have been happy with 1 for 3yrs. Have not worn other vintage non rolex watches collected over 20yrs since I got my rolex.

I'm up to 4, 3 of which are Rolex. If I had to go down to I would probably keep my 114060.

One watch guy here as well. 114060 is just too good to need anything else.

One Rolex man!!!

While I'm neither a one Rolex man or a one watch man, I envy those who are and hope to maybe someday be one. For now, my hunger for variety keeps me with enough for one every day of the week. Although I fully admit it's somewhat absurd .

Hopefully I will be doing an incoming later this week. I actually am taking a break from this hobby and going to only be a one watch guy. I have flipped watches with color DJ II blue Roman, BLNR, and just go back to the classics. Stay tuned for a possible incoming!!!

Was a one Rolex (Cellini) guy for about a week- then joined TRF- you know what happened next.

SubC to suit the everyday needs- three weeks later the D-Blue for times away from work.

I've always been a one-Rolex man. I am a one-watch man for the most part, too. I have a TAG that sits in a watch box, and I keep it for sentimental reasons. I wear my Daytona every day, and all day.

I want to buy a second Rolex, but I have to be certain that it's something I'll actually wear over my 116520. That's difficult to do!

I really want to be....But came across a flawless 1675 that has now become the second and likely last keeper in my collection, along with my Sea-Dweller

Great picture. I coveted the 116619, then hated the blue, and now I'm beginning to love it again.

I would like to think that I could be one but history has shown that not to be probable.

One for every occasion, work and weekend? :)

Currently have two (BLNR + Datejust) and bought one (Oyster Perpetual) for my sister as well - she's a one watch girl.

Don't think I'll be adding a third one soon. I like to buy watches at meaningful moments in my life and not just to add another one.

To me a Rolex is a watch you wear everywhere, all the time, that stands up to anything and everything you throw at it.

I currently own one (SubC no date), but would like to buy a 2nd when funds permit (either a blue face Milgauss or a pepsi GMT).

I was hoping to be a 1 watch person with my AP but ended up justifying a Rolex for rougher activities...then bought an ETA Tudor BB kind of as an investment but now I wear that too

I have had 10 or 12 in my search for the perfect one, the no date sub pre C has taken the trophy. I have a date sub on hand that I don't wear and am going to sell. I however, don't wear it everyday, doesn't really go with my military uniform.

So I'm only a weekend Rolex wearer which I think impacts the need for multiple Rolex's. I would love to have my explorer 114270 back though to accompany it on the nightstand. Maybe one day

The more Rolex we have the more self-fulfillment we feel. It just my opinion.


I have one - Sub C Date and totally happy. It was a process going from 2-3 to 1 but I have other hobbies now!
