Impressive collection.

Thanks! I'm glad y'all like 'em! It would average out to a couple of weeks each. I leave the DRSD and Red Sub in the bank vault, pretty much. But I wear the rest of them. As evidenced by the scratches, etc. Some do get a little more wear than others.

Awesome collection

Friedl41 · 12 August 2013, 08:25 AM

Wow. Wow. Wow. Thanks for sharing. It is already nice to look at these watches on the picture ...

Do you have an all time favorite?

sea-dweller · 12 August 2013, 08:34 AM

Nice collection!

LA_LEC · 12 August 2013, 08:42 AM

Amazing collection - gives us all something to shoot for!

Hulatime · 12 August 2013, 08:43 AM

Love that collection, Beef! I understand being drawn towards certain models (love Subs) and it's great that you have variations within those models... awesome stuff! What is next & which is your favorite? Read one post where you mention the GMT Rootbeer is the only one you've sold? Do you regret it? Very nice...

impalass · 12 August 2013, 08:58 AM

Thats the way to do it !

LAJM · 12 August 2013, 09:11 AM

Love your collection. Congrats!! Keep adding more

As Churchill would say - Rolex are "a grizzly gang who have worked their wicked will."
Congrats and enjoy their corruption!

Rolex Freak · 12 August 2013, 09:44 AM

Holy crap batman. You need more wrists.

Beef · 12 August 2013, 09:51 AM

Thanks! I have to say that I don't regret selling my Root Beer. The gold just doesn't "speak to me." IDK why. My favorites? My DRSD is by far my favorite. It was my first and I wore it daily from purchase in 1978 until I got the Coke for an anniversary present in 1993. It's a safe queen now, though. I really like to wear my vintages with the Luminova dials. Lights on:

Mind blowing collection.

I take it you only like SS models and not a fan of precious metals.

Yes, SixPak, I only like the SS tool watches. To ME, Rolex is Everest, Comex, Pan Am, Trieste. I've worn mine diving, parachuting, climbing, running, swimming, biking and paddling. And I have started letting my sons do the same. When we go on an outdoor type trip, I let them pick one of the modern models to wear. They've worn them hiking and climbing out West and paddling on the Mississsippi, skiing in Vermont. This way, when I pass into the next life, these watches will have fond memories for them.
