This forum is hilarious lol

Excellent collection OP any one of us would be beyond excited to own all these pieces at the same time, hell even one of these pieces is a feat for many here.

Idk if it’s jealousy or what that elicits the negative attitudes and sassy responses here but isn’t this all just for fun

OP has the means to put this collection together either thru a great relationship with an AD or enough financial muscle to go grey and he gets bashed for being a hype beast.

When any one of these pieces is acquired and posted as a stand alone in an “incoming” thread there is nothing but positive vibes and salutations as there should be.. but when these pieces are in the same place at the same time it gets an eyeroll lol

None of these pieces are original anymore.. but that doesn’t mean that the OP only bought them to flex. Maybe they are extremely popular references for a reason.... these are some of the sexiest pieces that Rolex makes period

The next step for me would be a gold president, if you like flying under the radar you could choose white gold or platinum to go along with your stainless pieces

Congratulations and enjoy that beautiful collection !!!

Thanks! Yeah I love my SD4K (i purposely chose it between SDDS JC, Sub, and Sub Date back 2016)

It is the near perfect diver IMHO

Gold is not my thing. Doesn't fit into my active lifestyle.

If i were to get gold it would be WG

I wear jeans/polo shirt for work. pre-covid / covid times. Haven't worn dress watch in 20 years and can't see needing one for the next 20 years

Thanks! I love my set of watches. All special and unique in its own right but 4/6 of them are linked to special life events.

I agree on positivity comment.

This is just a forum on watches.

I too only obtain watches that are right for my wrist - otherwise I'd get SDDS James Cameron and SD43 50th anniversary - but they're just too large for my wrists

Thanks

Yeah the SD4K kicks butt. I love that watch.

Everyone has different tastes. This is mine.

Oddly couple years ago - TRF said I needed a HULK in collection.

PS: why is it so hard for some folks to believe that some people have no desire to own PM but prefer SS watches?

Really nice collection. Now that you have had access to all of them sought after SS watches it would be interesting to know which one gets the Most wrist time and which one doesn't live up to the "hype" (in your opinion of course).

Swap out the PepC for a 16710 and the black dial Daytona for the black dial SS bezel variant and it would be getting around to my tastes. Lol at the pissy comments. Guy has a bunch of Rolexes, posts them on the Rolex forum. Hahahaha.

Wow some of these comments are ridiculous. As if anyone buys a Rolex (the most recognized and over hyped watch brand, period) to be original. Rolex doesn’t even maintain a very large catalog of references vs. many other brands, so how exactly is one going to ‘original’ in their choices?

I remember a time not so long ago when watch geeks bought sports Rolex because they were good watches, vs instagram fueled speculative investments for people that know nothing about, and don’t care about watches at all.

OP, ignore the Chad haters, that mini collection rocks. Explorer is not represented, a 2 would look nice in there.

Great pic too!

Most wrist time currently is Kermit because its new

Overall most wrist time is Daytona - white

Didn't live up to "hype"? I don't know because each watch was purchased because i really wanted it or marked occasion/event - it was predicated on hype. But my BLNR probably gets the least wrist time for what its worth

i agree with others that you need some color and just wanna say gold watches fit active lifestyles too...yellow/rose gold go with anything like steel. at the end of the day a rolex is jewelry now and gold is no different than steel in terms of wearability
