My collection, for now.

Hi All

I bought my first Rolex about 12 years ago. A white dial Explorer II. For 12 years, I was completely out of the Rolex watch scene. A couple times, I thought about getting another watch, looked at Omega, but I didn't pull the trigger. About 6 months, after hearing my older brother getting his 3rd watch, I started checking the current Rolex collection and was immediately drawn to the beauty of D-blue. I joined the forum, called around all the local dealers, a week later. I got the watch. This forum is a dangerous place. I was addicted. I started reading more, I started looking at several other models. All the beautiful owner's pictures are bad... Anyway, I was lucky to get the D blue, BLNR, Sub-LV, and Sky-D in 6 Months period. Here is my current collection (Lady datejust and the hulk are my wife's). Next will be Daytona whiteName:  20180304_111558.jpg

Beautiful collection and moving at a fast pace! The Daytona will look great in your collection.

That’s cool that your wife likes the Hulk. Mine hates it so much she’d probably divorce me if I bought one.

What a sweet collection! You got a very fine taste my friend and sure have some of the nicest rolexes!

Looks like we are going at the same pace! Got 6 watches in 6 months as well. It’s a nice feeling to collect them then sit back and enjoy them

It is surprising that your wife likes Sub-LVc.

Fantastic! Wear in good health. This forum certainly encourages conspicuous Rolex consumption.

Beautiful collection! And a great clear photo showing them as well...

It's nice to wake up and see those watches all lined up just waiting for you to grab one to wear for the day...

Enjoy and congrats!
