Yeah I've whittled my collection down to 1 daily which is the Batgirl. It has everything I want in a Rolex:
- Nice colours.
- Interesting complications.
- Comfortable.
- Tough.
- Jubilee bracelet.
- Very accurate (+-0 after 10 days of wear!)
- The date.

What a watch - really don't need another.

I have more than one watch but only one Rolex and it gets 99% of the wrist time. I’m trying to put together a two watch collection which both include Rolex. I’d eventually like to expand to a Tudor and Omega as well

Just picked up my second Rolex from an AD only 3-4 weeks after picking up a GMT on the grey market. I love the GMT feel and look so far as my daily & haven't gone for my new watch since I purchased it (Datejust 41 Jubilee).

I'm starting to think I only need the GMT for now. I'm anticipating I may wear the Datejust 10% of the time as I spend most of my time in casual wear.

One watch might be the move for me lol or at least in this scenario...

GMT guy here too, also from the grey market funnily enough. I actually find it less stressful having only one watch to think about and the guilt of having watches that I don't wear is gone too. It's a nice feeling.

Yes. I have my ss Daytona to my wife last year and so have only my 16610 which has been with me and outlasted my other daytonas, and datejusts. It was gifted to me 20+ years ago by my now deceased mother and will stay with me. The smaller the collection the more content i have been. When I had 7-8 nice watches in rotation each one gets like what 6 weeks wear each year. It’s more like I’m curating a collection and not living life/wearing the watches I enjoy.

Pretty much. Technically I own 2, use to have 4. A SubC and this but really I never wear the black one and that one will get gifted to my son when he graduates college. So this is my only love.

My sentiments exactly. The 'curating a collection' part of owning multiple watches just seems like unnecessary work - life's complicated enough with real tasks.

I love just being able to wear my favourite watch each and every day which just so happens to be a delightful Rolex. Happy days

2 Watches, a 1675 (retired it in 1999) and my current 16710.

I've given up trying to post my photo's on here, to much resizing and reduction of
resolution.
It used to be so much easier, what happened?

I own and wear only one Rolex...a Sea Dweller 43. I also owned an Omega Aqua Terra Annual Calendar, but I gave it to my son for his 35th birthday. I kind of like having only one "nice" watch !

My submariner 16610LN used to be my only watch for 7 years bought brand new and 24/7 on my wrist. Then bought a Datejust 16234 and GMT 16710. The GMT became my daily beater and I was not wearing the other ones. Then I bought a black 116500LN it’s my daily beater now! I since bought a Submariner 5513 but I almost never it! The Daytona is so difficult to take off the wrist!!

I have four but I’ve really only worn one lately, my Explorer. I’m strongly considering unloading the others given their massive spikes in value. I’ll always have at least one Rolex, but there are some great deals on incredible watches when you look beyond the crown. For example, I traded my two tone Daytona for a Lange Saxonia and bunch of cash. Preowned Lange is an amazing value.

I don’t regret buying this watch and it has been with me everyday whether it’s in the office, in the woods, or fishing on the river. I don’t baby it (too much!) and plan to hold onto it for a lifetime.

Is there anyone else out there who only owns or wears ONE watch everyday? If so, let’s see it!

I had only one back in 1995, but then all hell broke loose.

I'm down from 6 to just 1. The Pepsi remains. Would love to add a sky dweller to fill my wrist a little more.

Si. Sub C. I would not mind a few other nice watches to wear on special occasions, but I am also not in any hurry as I intend this to be my daily watch for pretty much the remainder of my life.
