Collection complete!

Name:  image.jpg

Size:  68.5 KBHard to imagine anyone on TRF saying this....but I think my collection is complete. I picked up the EXP II and love it. Ironically enough, the Smurf comes out only on special occasions. We will see how long it takes before my eye is drawn to another Rolex.

Very nice by the way!

Collection complete?

The whole premise of this thread is faulty.

Nice start you got there, though.

Congrats. I love both. But if your collection is truly complete I suggest you never log into this forum again or that sentiment won't last long.

Congrats, but I agree with others. That "complete" feeling won't last too long; especially if you are really into this hobby.

I have been settled on pretty much the same 2 rolex for about a year, very content with them. SD & Exp II polar 40mm

But....

Then there are these other brands....Patek, AP, Panerai... Settled maybe...not?

So, as said by others above, my friends & girlfriend will attest, i have also believed i was done several times

Congrats. You just made me realize how small the sub looks compared to the Explorer II.
