The journey continues

[jimcameron]

Can most of the watches and enjoy all that South Florida has to offer. Buy a boat (smallish like 20ft) and take it from MM to the Keys. Or go on weekdays to all of the boat parks) Have you bin on an Airboat ride in the Everglades.

I lived and worked in Miami for many years. Have you ever been to Alabama Jackes on a Sat or Sunday? If not you are missing things.

Watches are a last resort

I thought the pic of 3 of the same GMTs was odd, and him saying having both green themed subs would be redundant, but both are in “his pics.” Also, the times set in the pics. No one does that, except a seller.

lol the keys are not any where near my goals

[SVH]

Appreciate the memories, thank the watches for the good times - then sell and get a banger patek or richard mille!

Blue dial VC Overseas Tourbillon.

That would be my cherry on top of an amazing collection.

[GGGMT]

Amazing collection. I’d suggest Patek. ALS. Or VC. But mostly PP. Bigly. Step outside the (green) box.

Goodness gracious, that 222 in the back is an eye catcher.

[APhound]

The 222 was nice. I was so excited to see one. Bracelet is incredible. But it didn’t really do it for me honestly. I’d actually take the plain blue dial overseas over it surprisingly but I’m telling you the tourb was from another planet. Really blew me away.

I wanted to share my journey with you all as I've recently reached a milestone in my collection. It's been an exciting ride, filled with discoveries, appreciations, and a lot of wrist time.

Currently, my collection boasts a diverse range, with:

- 2 Datejusts
- 2 Day-Dates
- 2 GMTs
- 5 Submariners
- 1 Skydweller
- 1 Oyster Perpetual
- 1 Seadweller
- 1 Yacht Master
- 1 Audemars Piguet

Each watch tells a story, not just about the brand or the model, but about the moments and experiences it has been a part of. From the rugged reliability of the Submariners to the timeless elegance of the Datejusts, each piece holds a special place in my heart and my collection.

Now that I've amassed this impressive assortment, the question arises - what's next? Do I continue expanding horizontally, exploring new brands and models, or do I delve deeper vertically, perhaps focusing on a specific brand or complication?

I'm torn between the allure of discovering new treasures and the desire to deepen my understanding and appreciation of what I already have. Perhaps some of you seasoned collectors can offer guidance or share your own experiences of reaching this point in your collecting journey.

Regardless of what lies ahead, one thing is certain - the passion for watches will continue to drive me forward, seeking out new horological adventures and cherishing the memories they bring.

I'd love to hear your thoughts, advice, or even just your own collecting stories. Let's keep the conversation ticking!

Well, as for continuous journey… I guess now it’s time to buy spaceX from Elon and fly around the Mother Earth…

What a watch!! I was thinking of the SS version lol that gold is on the next level for sure!

Couple observations….

You call you collection diverse, but it’s all Rolex and one AP!
You ask if you should broaden or deepen….you have 5 subs!

What I’m getting at is that it appears to me you answered your own questions. You have found what you like. Personally, I like both brand diversity and also minor differences among models. I have 3 Deepsea and will likely buy the gold and the Challenge, I just like that watch! I also have about 10 different brands represented in my collection. Brands like Rolex, Tudor, Heuer, Patek, Longines, Panerai….just to name a few.
My next move is likely Daytona related.
Collect what you enjoy

I'm in a similar position, not knowing what to do next. My wish list is DD40 Everose Olive and Pepsi. I've considered a couple VC but didn't pull the trigger on them.

Before giving suggestions, I’m also waiting on response to this and this….

[Rolexadd]

Thank you for your questions and observations. Let me address them one by one:

1. **Images from DavidSW's display:** It appears there may have been a misunderstanding or a mix-up with the images shared. I apologize for any confusion this has caused. I'll ensure that future images come directly from my actual collection.

2. **Number of GMTs:** I understand your concern about the number of GMTs. The initial message should have been clearer. While I mentioned having two GMTs, the collated image erroneously copied the two tone 3 times.

3. **Other strange things:** If there are additional specific concerns, please let me know so I can address them directly and provide clarity.

As for the milestone I recently reached in my collection, it was the skydweller.

Again, I appreciate your patience and understanding as I correct these issues. Please let me know if there's anything else I can clarify.

Weird….sounds like an airline auto reply

[spellmanski]

What an amazing collection.
I'd probably take a several of the ones that don't get wrist time, and consolidate into a steel or gold nautilus

[Rolexadd]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some advice on my current collection and potential future acquisitions. Here's what I currently have:
- Rolex Day-Date 40 Silver Motif Dial 228238
- Rolex Day-Date 40 Chocolate Roman Dial 228235
- Rolex Datejust 41 Black Dial Jubilee 126334
- Rolex Datejust 41 Mint Dial Jubilee 126334
- Rolex GMT 126713
- Rolex GMT 126715
- Rolex OP41 124300
-Rolex Sea dweller 16600
- Rolex Sky-Dweller Rose Gold Rhodium Dial 336935
- Rolex Submariner 126610LV
- Rolex Submariner 116610LV
- Rolex Submariner 126618LN
- Rolex Submariner 16610LV
- Rolex Submariner 124060
- AP 15510 Black Dial

I'm considering selling all my Submariners except the 16610LV to fund the purchase of a Rolex Daytona Rose Gold. I would love to hear your opinions on this move.
- Do you think selling the Submariners (except the 16610LV) for the Daytona Rose Gold is a good idea?
- Is there another watch I should consider adding to my collection instead?
- Any other thoughts or suggestions for my collection?
Thanks in advance for your insights!

This reminds me of an old Robin Williams joke: “Cocaine is God’s way of telling you that you’re making too much money.”

At this point in watch collecting I feel I need to downsize and diversify the collection.

It seems like a mistake or misunderstanding.

It’s true that indulging in expensive habits can sometimes be a sign of having more money than one knows what to do with.
