80% Rolex and Tudor.... 20% divided between Patek, IWC, Omega, AP, etc.

ps.... Tudor = Rolex in every way (except cost)

RidingHero · 4 December 2009, 01:48 PM

I only collect Rolex, including Tudor and other vintage double-name Rolex/Oyster watches.

roadcarver · 4 December 2009, 01:52 PM

I fancy any automatic watches. I own Seiko, Breitling, Omega and Rolexes (his and hers).

Shall we say I do not discriminate

Boopie · 4 December 2009, 03:41 PM

I have several lower-priced watches that I owned before I got my Rolex...my next most expensive watch is in the $300 range, so I guess my Rolex is the only watch in my "collection."

i gotta first flip my TAG before i can join your club JJ!

Trurolexer · 4 December 2009, 10:47 PM

Me...I guess?!?!

At least I was a Trurolexer before.

surillious · 4 December 2009, 11:19 PM

Once my ten-year-old Timex Triathlon dies my collection will be only Rolex. Of course, that watch may never die...what a trooper.

eparisini · 4 December 2009, 11:38 PM

I've a few rolex... looking for a 6263... + 1 Pam 001 (untouchable), + 1 Omega speedmaster pre-moon 321 that I'd like to sell

Rolex Rules

chriseskew24 · 5 December 2009, 12:27 AM

Nope Rolex,Omega.Seiko,Movado,Orient,Citizen

Mosco · 5 December 2009, 01:40 AM

As a 'per brand' representation, I have more Rolexes - TWO. My DSSD and a GV, still looking for a GMTIIc in steel at a reasonable cost. But other brands have single 'representatives' - one Breguet, one IWC, one Panerai, one vintage Seiko, one vintage Seconda, one Ulysse Nardin... Getting ready to add one Vacheron Constantin and one AP (maybe - for some reason the ROO's are beginning to rub me the wrong way).

Very nice set!!!

P.S. The winder on the right needs a new battery!

KarlFr · 6 December 2009, 06:53 AM

Besides Rolex I think Panerai is a great brand just to change style with the straps and the extra weight

Used to collect Omegas but that's being phased out....
Here's Omega-Rolex-Panerai side by side

R S · 6 December 2009, 07:40 AM

Thanks 777, but the batteries are Nicad, you plug them up for 24 hrs. and the charge lasts 4-6 weeks.

Thanks, very similar to yours. The white Daytona is great, but the Sea-Dweller has gone alot of places I wouldn't take the Daytona (dive trips). It's beautiful and a real workhorse.

HDHNTER · 6 December 2009, 02:12 PM

Only Rolex here, sold my UN last year.

Not me. There are far too many high end watch manufactures to hang your star on any one brand. Rolex is a solid, dependable, known factor, but it certainly isn't the Holy Grail or the be-all, end-all.

Well put. I think of Rolex as the Harley-Davidson of watches. All are very nice, and very-well-finished, but they are by no means the be-all, end-all. For me, 1 PAM, 1 Breitling, 3 Zeniths and counting.

But I really do like my Rolexes, and plan to keep them and baby them. Just like yer s'posed to.

Damage Inc. · 6 December 2009, 02:39 PM

Not I...Rolex (2), Omega (~1963- wife will be wearing it after xmas), Tudor (early '60's), New York Watch Co. pocket watch (great grandfather's...~1873), Elgin pocket watch (grandfather's...~1914, needs help), ETA 2824-2 based 'no name' I built for myself (keeps GREAT time, perfect for backpacking).

Only non-Rolex on my wishlist= Vacheron Constantin white gold Malte Dual Time Regulator
