My next 3 Rolex watches

These are the Rolexes that I can't stop thinking about. I'm rather curious how much this wish list will change in the next 1-10 years. I'm not, on the other hand, all that curious as to how long I'll have to wait to accumulate such a collection.

At the moment, though, this is it.

Day date 36 mm YG
Datejust 36mm SS/WG (blue dial jubilee)
Root Beer GMT II TT (oyster)
And..
Omega Speedy Pro (Hesalite)

For the record, my current collection consists of a 116610 Sub-c date:

For the record, this is the new 116610-UD

I can't for the life of me figure out why, in 2014, Apple and iPhone/ipad can be treated like a foreign language to certain windows based systems.

(On my ipad, the picture of my subc is inverted)

If you are like me, and I'm sure others on this site, your list will change in under 3 months.

Tastes change, I'm sure, yours will.However the watches you're after are classics....I guess time will tell....
I thought I'd never consider Gold DayDate....but hey ,I'm really liking those nowadays.....maybe I'm getting middle aged, maybe I just really don't care about what others think.....

It will change.
I'm just trying to figure out one what watch I want next, it will change. I started out dead set on a TT Daytona.

Now I'm looking at a SS AP RO and a JLC MUT Moon 39mm...

In terms of financing... I'm hoping I can buy my next watch this year.
And then nothing for at least the next 10yrs because I can't afford anything after that.

Nice sub. Sadly the way silver prices have dropped over the last year, it'll be a while before the next piece so you have time to revise your wish list.

You won't believe how much you will change. I change so often that now unless I feel the same way about a watch after 3 months I don't trust it as I know something else will replace it on my list.

Haha!

It's been one day and I'm wondering if a TT DJ might need to bump something out. And the Omega is in under pressure from an as yet to be discovered Triple Date Moon Phase watch in decent condition.

And I bought that silver recently, when it dipped below 20, so I'm ok for now :)
