Continue to enjoy the one Rolex I have, don't need no stinking multiple watch rotation to be happy since I've already got the best for any occasion!

Non COSC 14060M will do for me, and if I can find
good condition/original/complete package, a 1675.
Thats the only 2 rolex that tickle my fancy.

if everything works out fine as i am planning i might celebrate it with a rolex but i am completely undecided which one to chose.
i have the dj which is good for dress watch and i have the speedy pro mark ii which is a nice looking vintage sportswatch.
as i am not the one buying a rolex every year i have to make the right decision.
i am hesitating between the sub c, the gmt ii c and a second hand ym but first i have to wait whether things turn out as i wish.
fingers crossed in the meantime!

Sub 16610LV or 116610LV or maybe a birth-year (relatively vintage now...hah) Sub. My buddy just got one from the very early '80s and its quite a beauty.

Hopefully a used Rolex this year. Not sure which model yet. Maybe a SD or LV. Or maybe something new like a GV.

Got a Milgauss at Christmas (my first Rolex) and am loving it, but I am hooked and am seriously considering the GMT II.

I resolve to hang on to this one:



Last May, I made the mistake of flipping it for a TT GMT IIc. Fortunately I was able to undo the flip and the EXPII is back in the fold for good.

I've got one kid heading to college in in 2011, another in 2014. I think I have one more Rolex purchase left in me in the next few years, I want a TT GMTC when I turn 50 in 2012, pass my 16750 onto my college aged son. We'll see. Gotta stay employed! Happy New Year fellow TRF's!

Daytona 116520 is my top priority.

I am eager to see what Basel brings, though.

Either a Milgauss GV (love the green saphire) or 2-tone rose gold day-date with black face + Oyster braclet + domed bezel...almost bought them once, maybe this year....see what BASELWORLD brings too.
Cheers

My goal is just to own one!! I have like $5000 CDN saved up in my rainy day Rolex fund so far but can't find anything for my money :-(

So close to affording one, yet so far

I have a Yachtmaster incoming.

I really try to keep my watches to only four automatics. Therefore, either my Sea-dweller 4000 or YM has to go. I previously sold my SD and then purchased again for my own collection, I just repeated that with the YM. It really is an impossible call.

I also miss my Exp II Polar, and should have a GMT style watch in the roundup. As much as I love the Exp II, it doesn't stand a chance against the YM or Sea-dweller. The solution may just be six automatics and two manual, but seriously four Rolex's seems excessive.

Unfortunatly I cannot swing my next Rolex purchase. I just blew my wad on camera gear and I still have 1 or 2 pieces of glass, mobile studio lighting, radio triggers and a few more things to ad to my kit.

It was a tough decision, but I figured it would better to capture photos while my kids are young.

I do hear a GMT calling my name!
