Yup, a few more. And then there’s Basel 2019 and we start at it again.

More than enough SS sports models on bracelet. I would look at an FP Journe or an A. Lange & Sohne next. Something in PM on leather would be a nice addition.

Nice set but a bit repetitive, I'd sell the BLNR and Black D500 and move up to AP or PP.

Fantastic collection! If i was in your position i would look at getting rid of the black dial daytona and going for a PM Daytona and also possibly adding a PM Sky Dweller/DD40. There is no right or wrong choice really so just buy what makes you happy!
I personally found that when i added some PM pieces to my collection I started to enjoy them much more than the steel pieces.
Enjoy :-)

There are never enough..!!
This is really just a 3 watch collection so you do need a lot more, and at least 1 PM and some size variation.

You need a Datejust! No steel collection complete without one.
I recommend a blue dial fluted DJ2.

I would trade the SD for the 116610LV

Those Daytonas are gorgeous

A great collection indeed. But if I were to add a piece, it would be a non-Rolex piece. I value diversity in a collection, as many brands are making great pieces.

I’d swap black Daytona for blue skydweller

Nonetheless, awesome collection!

That collection does make an excellent stopping point (though I might suggest swapping the black dial Daytona for a DD40). But we’d need to know how they fit into the rest of your collection to make a full assessment. I seem to recall you’d gotten a CK2998 at one point. Anything on the dressier side of things?

5 is a good number, but I’d reduce overlap by flipping the BLNR for an LVc and fliping the SDc for an SD50.

That took me years to appreciate. Look at other brands, Rolex is great but a lot of others are also......

That’s exactly my thought! I’d consider a SD43 as well

I guess “enough” is relative and is never the case

Fantastic 5! I’d maybe let the black Daytona and BLNR go and go with something like a DD40 for a dressier piece or a different brand.

Thought about hulk but that shade of green is not my favorite.

DSSD blue although cool is just WAY too big and tall for my wrist

SkyD blue is possibility but my initial thoughts were that is seemed awkwardly big

The shade of green that I liked appeared on a Panerai. Picked up the PAM911 (see pic below)

On a serious note I’d add a Hulk or swap it with your black dial Daytona if you wanted to keep it at 5.



Otherwise what you have now is definitely quite enough to enjoy each piece in rotation with equal wrist time

Cheers!


Thanks!

Thought about hulk but that shade of green is not my favorite. With respect to the Sub, I wasn't a huge fan of it for some reason and specifically picked up SD4K instead (I had option between Sub, Sub date, Hulk, SD4K, and DSSD)

The psychology of this Forum is fascinating.


I truly love all five of them and I guess a lot of people would agree otherwise they wouldn't be in such great demand. If i only collected hard to get pieces I'd also have the Hulk, SkyD blue, and SD43, and DSSD blue, which i don't because I have concerns about size, style or color

Also keep in mind that when i purchased the BLNR it was not in demand as it is now.
and when i bought the SD4K it was considered a poor seller and no one liked it until Rolex discontinued it

Great collection

If mine I would

A) Swap the redundant Batman for the Hulk

Or if feeling more adventurous

B) Swap out Black Daytona and Batman for a Smurf

Even better..

C) Swap out Black Daytona and Batman to put towards a sporty PP (Nautilus or Aqua) or Rose Gold Day Date
