I am REALLY happy with my current trio! But I'll never say never as far as adding a new Rolex sometime in the future.....

I'm very happy with what I have and anticipate no changes soon. I will however add a WG Daytona with meteorite dial and black strap when my boat comes in.

Maybe a Datejust, maybe a "Polar" Expy, and of course a Steel Daytona if the opportunity presents itself........

There are far too many more to buy yet before I can stop.
Bankruptcy may be my only cure

I like my GMT II TT but would like one in YG.
I like my TT blue sub and will buy another when they have a ceramic bezel , wide case and new bracelet.
I like my SD and will buy another when they spec up the bracelet and maxi dial it.
I don't have a yachtmaster and confess that the platinum YM doesn't do much for me at all - IMO the best feature is the red second hand.
I have a DD and DJ and am happy with them.
I have a TT Daytona ('91 X Zenith) and would like an SS but wont pay over US$MSRP so that could be a long time away.
I am also looking for a YG Omega De Ville auto, a Rolex Explorer, a 14060M and the list goes on.
I like the new green milgauss but in OZ I think that is going to be hard to find and buy. As an aside I was talking to Bluebull yesterday and he has been offered one in South Africa for equiv $US8000. so go figure?

Guess my vote.

Well, I only have the one, and I'm quite happy with it, so I definitely see a future purchase. I for sure want a Datejust at some point to cover the dress end of things, and a Submariner just because it's a Rolex icon and I've always wanted one. That said, I'm going to try to be patient about it.

After that, I'll probably start looking at some the other brands that I like.

There a few I'd like to acquire. I've really been pulled toward vintage lately, and I'd like to eventually add a Victory, Skyrocket, Rolco, and Eaton's.

I am addicted to Rolex!

I just LOVE that brand, and I intend to buy two more: an SD and a DJ 116234 with silver coloured dial.

My collection works fine for me at the moment, but every once in a while I come across a model that tickles my fancy, and it happens often enough that I'd bet safely on getting more Rolexes in the future.

The Expy "polar" is the only one I'm itching for. Once I get that one, I'll be satisfied.

Of course, there's always another one you want.
