How many Rolexes are too many?
Can you have to many Rolexes?
I have been collecting watches for the last 20 years or so, and I still want more Rolexes.
Do I need a Doctor?

There are never too many, and the discovery of the notion of infinity and infinity times infinity has not changed this mathematical fact.

There is no such thing as too many Rolexes as long as you enjoy collecting them.

You can't be too rich, too thin or have too many Rolex watches.

As a "WIS" there are never to many. Rolex makes so many awesome watches. Not one isn't worthy. WIS in a candy store. What fun! Enjoy!

Did I correctly count 58 watches here? If so, the 59 is too many watches.

I say we start calling AEtv/Hoarders for Mike to get him some much needed help for his hoarding of fine timepieces! Those poor vintage pieces... poor little things!!!

Seven may be a reasonable number. This is based upon a rotation of one for every day of the week.

Well, I don't think there's a magic number.

If one has a lot of spare money, and likes watches, the sky is the limit.

I'm not a collector, I'm a user, so my three watches now makes me indecisive of which one to wear.
