One Rolex man!!!

How many one Rolex owners are out there?
I truly respect those one watch owners that only wear that one timepiece for most of their lives. Are you a one Rolex owner or could you ever be one?

Id love to be a one watch guy. I tried with the BLRO. Then too many interesting little watches grabbed my attention like the speedmaster and the Tudor pelagos. Perhaps I could be a one Rolex guy but not one watch guy.

I truly respect that one could be happy with only one watch. But then again...where is the fun in that?

I don't think a man with only one Rolex will be reading this forum so you won't get much feedback. They are either wearing Rolex as tool watch daily or use it only on special occasion. Our members here view Rolex as status symbol, self achievement reward and anti-inflation jewelry. so that's making our members want more and more. The more Rolex we have the more self-fulfillment we feel. It just my opinion.

I respectfully disagree, and suspect others here will as well.

Could manage one....a SD4000 probably. But two would definitely do the trick, a 4000 and a Cellini Prince. That would cover the bases for me.

Just an SD4000 for me. Wear it with a suit in the week. Shorts and t-shirt in the summer and wore it for my wedding. It's not perfect for everything but pretty damn close!

I own 6 but turns out I wear just 1. Does that count?

I was a one Rolex guy only for a few months. The temptation for a few others is too much to ignore.

The best part about it is never needing to wind your watch.

I would love to be a one watch guy, but like shoes, it would be hard to get by all occasions with just one.

I've worn 4 in my lifetime but am down to 1 currently for the past year or so. Two are on permanent loan to family members and 1 was sold.

I'd like to be a two watch guy which will happen later this year. I think 3 will be a bit much for me though!

I wish I was. I am a zero Rolex guy at the moment. All Tudor and going vintage. But one watch, can't do it. Love the variety too much.

1 for many years in my 20's but then added more for different occasions in my 30's and 40's. Had as many as 12 but down to 4.
But I have had the itch of late so I expect an incoming soon.
The forum does not help curb the itch, but only intensifies it...

I could make do with one but there are just so many nice watches out there and not only Rolexes. I'm a fan of Tudor, Omega, Tag, Seiko, Squale.
