I thought I'd have issues with the TT Bluey being too "blingy" with a tee and shorts, but I've been wearing it all summer without a second thought and honestly can't come up with a circumstance where it would be too "showy" as I had feared pre-purchase.

Has anyone else faced the same dilemma when trying to decide whether to add a second Rolex to their collection?
I know what you mean. As soon as I bought my Datejust, I was thinking about the Sub. The main reason I got the datejust first was because the earliest image of a Rolex I had was of a datejust, since my Dad & Grandpa has one. The Sub will just need to wait a bit longer.

Like many others here, I know 2 would not be enough either. I already have the 3rd one picked out - YG DD!!

I'd love to get a second Rolex. I currently have a TTDJ, but I'd love to get a SS Rolex when i'm in a more relaxed mood and want one a little less blingy.

You can't be too rich, too thin or have too many Rolex watches.

I currently own 3 Rolex watches (14060M, 116520 and 216570)... since I've owned the 216570, I've only worn the 14060M and 116520 a couple of times. So I can't blame you for asking yourself why you want a second Rolex.

I just consolidated to 1. It's only been a day, but I'm happy with my decision.

Not many feelings like staring at a beautiful explorer II and thinking "I wonder what the sub looks like again" and then going to the safe and finding out.
And vice versa.
