Yes. A watch I waited over a decade to be able to own. It has far surpassed any expectations I had.

Yes, I do. But then again from 1985 to 2016, the same could be said (and was said) about my Datejust. I don't think I have that common TRF gene that makes people say, "Just picked [xxxxx] up today. What should I try to get tomorrow?"

bonheur · 12 October 2021, 12:05 AM

Now I have all the watches I really want and love. Ask me again in 3 months and I might want an Aqua Terra, which I don't own at the moment.

Choo Yao Chuen · 12 October 2021, 12:07 AM

Unfortunately for me, NO😜

sgarrity · 12 October 2021, 12:21 AM

See my avatar. It came down to the Explorer or a BLNR. I had the chance to get a BLNR at retail….twice! But passed for the Explorer. Did I make the right decision? From an investment perspective, no. But for me personally, absolutely. The Explorer fits my day to day life and fashion aesthetic. And it was purchased as a gift so no matter the watch I’m never selling it anyway.

So yes, I have what I want. Now could I maybe add some gold in the future??? Time will tell….

I would say you've made the right choice!!

Got this pair from AD in 2018 and '19, what I wanted and very satisfied. I am waiting on a Coral Red OP41 but can be patient for my store to come through.

brandrea · 12 October 2021, 03:08 AM

I’m happy with my small collection

franklee168 · 12 October 2021, 03:13 AM

No other wants. Just here to read comments now.

Gerardus · 12 October 2021, 03:13 AM

Yes, but I should NOT have sold my 118238 last year summer. Stupid mistake!

Goodwill63 · 12 October 2021, 03:17 AM

Yep.....Z serial 16600. Perfect for me!

Robf52 · 12 October 2021, 03:34 AM

Still have the urge for more....SS white Daytona, DD RG olive romans, meteorite GMT or Daytona.

JSolution · 12 October 2021, 04:10 AM

No there’s always another …

tgyberg · 12 October 2021, 04:20 AM

Indeed! Pulled it out of the box and it fit perfectly without any adjustment. Was meant to be!

Daytona88 · 12 October 2021, 04:28 AM

Unfortunately, that's a hard no for me. I suppose I could make it happen but I'm not willing to pay such a steep premium to make it happen and I know that once I got it, there would be another!

Cauhauna · 12 October 2021, 04:33 AM

It’s an ever moving target for me

brucethemanlee · 12 October 2021, 04:35 AM

i have THE watch that i want and I have only watches that I wanted

I only buy what I want and wear.

JohnGingerwood · 12 October 2021, 04:38 AM

Never!

kieselguhr · 12 October 2021, 05:18 AM

Yep. All the Rolex I want, I own. I’m very content.

Rolexforthewin · 12 October 2021, 06:22 AM

Not yet. I'm still on the hunt for a SS Daytona and a blue dial Sky Dweller. Obviously, two of the hardest Rolex watches to get your hands on, but I refuse to pay over retail, so I'll wait it out.

mykii · 12 October 2021, 06:30 AM

I went Rolex crazy in 2020 and, since then, I have sold all of them except my Hulk. It is the only Rolex I need. I'm completely satisfied with it. Don't care for the hype/frenzy in Rolex anymore, and for the $$ I am far happier going back to my roots by looking at high-end manufacturers (far more interesting for the money).

TLDR: Completely content with Rolex, but not watches per se.

That’s a sound approach I try to follow as well. Just as you don’t need to have 4 modern BMW 3 series in different colors to rotate between for your commute. You need one, and then you have space in the garage for a few more exotic things to take out on Sunday afternoon.

Same with my watch collection. I have one Rolex to wear everyday (and a second I keep for sentimental purposes), and then I have a few finer pieces to take out for some fine dining and similar occasions here and there.

Couldn't agree more and well said!

BNA/LION · 12 October 2021, 06:52 AM

Yes, for now I do... I'm just not excited about anything else right this moment.
