Sure, if you get rid of every Rolex forum that exists! It took me 36 years to get my first, and about 3 months to get my second and about the same for my third! Forums such as these are unhealthy for ones pocketbook!

My wife worked for a jewelry chain on the east coast handling Rolex and She waited until she found the right one which is an oyster perpetual datejust that has a gray face with a very attractive almost hologram looking lettering saying Rolex written in very small letters all over the face. I don't think I will ever stop wearing it.

I've had the same DJ for 28 years, so I guess you can.

Thomas · 3 September 2008, 01:43 PM

Could do it, and probably will with my DJ and Sub because Rolex is getting so expensive it's hard to justify another, even if trading one in on a new one. I look at mine and am just grateful I have them. $8,000 or more for a stainless steel watch, for that price what I have is all the Rolex I need. Am seriously considering Omega for the next watch.

Yes.

There is not a day that goes by where I dont check out new postings and new watches in production, however, I do not make enough money to keep buying new ones. I love the lv sub and of course, as its my first, I hope to hold on to it for a lot more than 10 years. Although, I catch myself thinking of buying a another when the lv gets its service and spa treatment down the line.

16570 for the last three years.
Seiko Chrono for about twelve before that.

Kevinm · 4 September 2008, 06:00 AM

My sub is over 30 years old

wantonebad · 4 September 2008, 06:05 AM

why not, I plan to let my 16613 slip into vintage status, though that will probably take 40 years LOL

WGJ48 · 4 September 2008, 06:27 AM

Watch yes, wife...Maybe

jasper · 4 September 2008, 06:35 AM

I wore my speedy pro every day for 11 years. I didn't think I needed another watch, until the penny dropped and I searched for and found the *exact* watch I needed all along, my 16750.

The GMT is in for service now but it's taking f-o-r-e-v-e-r to come back. I'm wearing the Speedy every day, and I still love it but waiting for the GMT to come back is murder. I will keep both watches forever, and pass the on to my children

The only question is....can I resist buying a sub? I'm kind of thinking I won't be able to since the early 16610 or late 16800 can be had for $3K-ish...or maybe a Tudor sub to mix things up a bit...aaggh!

Randy Marsh · 4 September 2008, 08:26 AM

no way man...I buy at least 3 watches per year.....I get bored very very easily.

APC · 4 September 2008, 10:20 AM

Can't do it unless I was forced to.

Perdu · 4 September 2008, 10:22 AM

I did with my 16613 TT Sub. Thirteen years before I caved in and got an Omega GMT. My Son has asked for the Sub., so in about six years I'll be back to one watch.

Roselló · 4 September 2008, 10:25 AM

I love my 16600........... It's only 2 years young.

Green Sub · 4 September 2008, 11:15 AM

Easy, that's just getting broke in for me.

I retired my DJ after 22 years!

Incurable · 4 September 2008, 11:19 AM

Already done it once... It would be a pleasure.
