Well I own 2 but I'm working on a third by next year. I know I'm speaking very prematurely but with 3 I think I'll be pretty set Rolex wise.

winston · 15 July 2014, 04:59 AM

Yes my collection is a multiple of 3...

2ar2c1 · 15 July 2014, 05:18 AM

more like 3 per year :)

DCgator · 15 July 2014, 06:02 AM

Own 3+ even after I gave two sons their own Rolex for achieving a milestone. I am an average working joe and not in the monied or affluent sphere at all.

HogwldFLTR · 15 July 2014, 06:28 AM

Since January I've bought eight retaining five. Seems like a good round number to have, I might pare it down a bit if I can find the right trades.

landroverking · 15 July 2014, 07:00 AM

I have three counting one vintage at this time. I have had as many as five at a time.

Three plus would sound about right.

Fully agreed. The guys with 3 or more are all here on TRF. !

Racerdj · 15 July 2014, 07:50 AM

True!

I always assumed you were much older. You have an excellent knowledge of Rolex for a man of 20, Greg.

Keep it up, son

TSts · 15 July 2014, 08:25 AM

Spot on.

thomaspp · 15 July 2014, 08:36 AM

Only 3!!

HL65 · 15 July 2014, 08:38 AM

Most would be blessed to own one and TRF isn't exactly a random sampling of the world...Just saying.

broulstone · 15 July 2014, 08:47 AM

I own 4.

I have 2 now
From none 6 months ago
But have had 6 at one point or another

Danex · 15 July 2014, 09:07 AM

I'd say the average Rolex owner owns at least 1 Rolex.

Sounds like AD knows it maybe easier to sell someone on a second Rolex with his little factoid. Not buying it here. I'm thinking the actual average is some small fraction over 1.

jay_man2 · 15 July 2014, 09:29 AM

I own 5. My first was a TT DJ in 1987. In 2011 I added a TT Blue Sub C, Sub C LN, and Sub C LV. Last month I added a Polar Explorer II.

Only counting Rolex then I own/owned 5 and I am sure a large proportion of people on TRF owns at least 2 to more than 5 but the average Rolex owner (who doesn't browse or participate in watch forums) I would think owns 1.

VICI · 15 July 2014, 11:08 AM

Not a TRF member!

neurotichamster8 · 15 July 2014, 11:14 AM

one :(

iWally · 15 July 2014, 11:22 AM

Sub, GMT, Daytona and a SD/DSSD so 4 is pretty much the magic number.

Im at 2 at the moment; 2 subs.

lsettle · 15 July 2014, 12:18 PM

I own 2.5 Rolexs, 14060, 16570, and a Tudor Blue Black Bay :-)

Life is great !!!!

Lawrence

threemonkeys · 15 July 2014, 12:54 PM

Three here. And I only justified extra watches as I have three sons to pass them to.

REDiesel · 15 July 2014, 01:11 PM

Average is skewed because of TRF members with a couple dozen. LOL.

Vishy26 · 15 July 2014, 02:26 PM

Most folks on this forum like Rolex watches and they are likely to possess more than one. But in the outside world, I presume, buy one watch and thats that. Purchasing numerous watches would be considered as a dangerous madness.

sroh · 15 July 2014, 03:37 PM

Only one for me so far.

But I must say, none of my other brands instilled a need for a second like my Rolex. A BLNR is in my future. After that, we'll see if I become an 'average' Rolex wearer.

J. Alan · 15 July 2014, 04:33 PM

Well, I can't figure out this statistic at all

The wife and I own nine, so there must be a third family member I don't know about.???

I will ask the wife tomorrow

HOOPLA!

J.Alan

gougy · 15 July 2014, 04:59 PM

Maybe the average Rolex owner has three watches (any brand) that would make some sense. Othervise I would say one Rolex/owner. It is great that places like TRF increase the number, but I doubt it triples it.
