Plan for my collection for now.

I started with a plan of collecting GMTs. It went out the window when I saw the GV. Therefore I came up with a new blueprint for my collection. Ignoring non sport watches, DJ's etc and other brands, here is what I am thinking; I am going to collect a current model to complement a previous model.

Here is where I stand on the keepers, all SS:

GMT II Pepsi - GMT II c
EXP II Black - Hurry up Basel 2011
SUB Date - Come on August
GV - Looking for a 6451 or 1019

I love each of these and can part with the others to make room. I may even add SD/SDDS.

Anyone else have a collection following a similar plan?

Having a direction lends focus to any collection. Mine's not far from yours. I just went a bit further back.





Having an icon is fun too.

I'm getting a current version of Martin Skeet's "Vintage Rolex Sports Models".

So far I still need to get a Milgauss and a Daytona since the TOG is no longer a sport model (IMO) but rather a modified DJ.

Mike that is a great way to do it. Two basic groups, big groups.
