Rolex collection based on metals

[paverman]

If the question is about Rolex only, than my list would be:
Wg - DD II and Sub c (smurf)
SS - no date Sub and GMT c

If the question is about ones general collecting preference of any brand, my choice changes to pretty much all precious metals, specifically platinum, white and rose gold. I realize it's purely a matter of personal taste, but personnally I've seemed to gravitate more towards dress type watches vs. sports models; therefor the preference to the gold and platinum.

There's something special about having a platinum watch strapped to your wrist.! But I realize I'm singing to the choir on this forum

You say that now, but than you'd certainly move onto other brands. After that happens, there's no end in sight.

Just don't set limits and all will be good.

Only if I could commission Rolex to make a timepiece for me...

Sam,
I'm getting to that point myself. I hope Basel brings some new stuff quickly. I guess there's vintage but that's a WHOLE different beast that I'm not ready for.

If I could commission anything from Rolex, it'd be a minute repeater.
