Well , I have a couple of Longines , which I inherited but never wear . Otherwise only Rolex : 116520 , 116660 , 116710LN , 1603 and 116334 "on route" all the way from Orlando FL. ( DavidSW ) via L.A to Belgium and eventually Spain .
Does that qualify as "Rolex only" J.J. ?

How many here have rolex only in their collection

My wife gave me an Omega Seamaster as an engagement gift 7 years ago... I own an SD and an SUB LV and I'll never buy anything but a Rolex going forward. But there will always be a spot in my heart for the Omega (love the blue bezel)! Here is a picture of my cherished trio! Love 'em! By the way i am new here and love it.

In one year, I bought and sold +60 automatic watches in few different sizes and shapes.

Its a hobby for me, always wanting to try something different , keeps me busy while able to play and own many different brands of watches.

Rolex is one of watch brands I own now, nicely made and comfy, their are other brands that offer something Rolex does not have like bigger or different cased watches.

Rolex is sure thing if your looking for long lasting value+ #1 watch brand known world wide.
