How many Rolexes are too many?
Can you have to many Rolexes?
I have been collecting watches for the last 20 years or so, and I still want more Rolexes. Do I need a Doctor? |

There are never too many, and the discovery of the notion of infinity and infinity times infinity has not changed this mathematical fact.

There is no such thing as too many Rolexes as long as you enjoy collecting them.

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

As a "WIS" there are never to many. Rolex makes so many awesome watches. Not one isn't worthy. WIS in a candy store. What fun! Enjoy!

Seven may be a reasonable number. This is based upon a rotation of one for every day of the week.

I say we start calling AEtv/Hoarders for Mike to get him some much needed help for his hoarding of fine timepieces! Those poor vintage pieces... poor little things!!!

Well, I don't think there's a magic number.
If one has a lot of spare money, and likes watches, the sky is the limit. I'm not a collector, I'm a user, so my three watches now makes me indecisive of which one to wear.

You can never have to many Rolex's. Well if you find that you do, you can always pass one along your good friend Adam!

Wow,
Just when you think you have enough, one starts to get the juices burning. I do feel for me that there is a limit. I am thinking about 15 to be honest. I am 3 away from that and I do believe that I am that close unless something new comes out. I have most of the professional line and several that I don't have, I am not really interested in such as the Explorer, Milgauss, TOG. I have thought of vintage but I would likely not wear them much as to not degrade it's condition. If I can get a TT DJ, Subc LV, Subc, I will likely call it a collection......................but you never know! |

I never saw a Rolex I didn't like (except that leopard Daytona!) and can never have too many!
