It is like a theme you tend to be loyal and stick to. Brand and followed by the model.

+1

Besides with being the owner of both DSSD variants, I have one for a daily wearer and the other for dressing up and going out whilst mixing it up a little depending on the light

Outside of collecting sake for appreciation, etc -- can those of you in that position chime in with how/why you got to owning multiple examples of essentially the 'same' watch?
Because some people have too much money.

I'd love to have all three 39 mm OPs. What a great range of vibrant colors to match up with clothes.

For me, while I don't own more than one yet, I can see the appeal. My next purchase will be a submariner. I decided on that part now because it's going to take me forever to figure out which model I want. To me there is enough difference between the 5513, 14060, 14060m and 114060 to not only make the decision tough, but to make me want all of them. I even thought of picking up a 214270 mk2 (Keepticking talked me out of it) because I thought it was different enough from my mk1.

It's what collecting Rolex is all about. Same goes for any collection. The difference is in the details

It was an enjoyable trip...

...at the end of which I had leaned that I'm a Rolex man, and a GMT man.
