Whats to do when no other Rolex tickles your fancy now.

[arizonapaul]

Since I have joined this forum back in January, I have, for me anyways, been on a bit of a buying frenzy. I am the proud owner of a hulk, a deep-blue, and finally a SD4000, all bought since the beginning of the year.
Before that, me and my 15 year old TT Blue Sub, have been minding our own business before my mind was attacked by all of you, lol.
Well, after extensive research, I can safety say that no current model Rolex has jumped out at me, like I must have it, and to buy, just simply to buy, would be a mistake. I really don't want other brands at this point as I am going to build upon the Rolex brand.
Even the elusive Daytona is not screaming me at this point, so what's a guy to do. Do I simply wait and see what comes out next year at Baselworld and continue to grab knowledge of the brand until then.
Another option is vintage, but there is so much to learn about models and all, I just don't think I want to enter that arena .
So I guess, I'll continue to read up and follow posts in here until I maybe discover there is a watch I over looked.
thanks all.

yeah the answer is simple. start saving, or just go buy, for PM rolex. that is what i am doing.

[Chadridv]

enjoy the calm before the storm! I've had that same feeling for a minute or two here and there, and I've rather enjoyed the content feeling. Out of nowhere someone will post some random picture that will get your pistons firing!

Perhaps some precious metal might do the trick lol.

Do you have a current favorite from your great collection?

[watchwatcher]

Well...that's a good thing! That is a great place to be in, my friend...enjoy it while it lasts.

[victorescu]

I'd save some cash and keep reading the forum. You;ll fall for something else very soon...

[Justinmg]

Enjoy the down time. I do think the vintage side is very interesting, but personally I think it's a little inflated.

I'm in exactly the same frame of mind.

I wear a Datejust, Daydate (YG), and a GMT II. I briefly thought about a SubC, but backed off after comparing it to my GMT. I own a safe queen Patek, but have no interest in another.

It's a weird feeling. I could afford another Rolex or whatever, just not moved by any other watches.

BUT, you guys are exactly reading my mind, just trying to wrap my head around buying a Smurf or similar. Honestly, trying to justify the cost, and second if I did, would it play a strong favorite in regards to wrist time to my others.

Do you guys with PM's find it dominates wrist time for like watches, such as PM Sub in comparison to your SS sub

Hands down its the Deep-B Sea-dweller, love the wrist presence.

[Maiden]

Nothing wrong with sitting back and simply wearing and enjoying what you have. A great place to be.

[peterskinner]

Some Rolex people have the habit of ignoring what is in front of them., take a look at the new Cellini range, in the flesh. Forget all the forum bias, just look at them as watches. Compare with the rivals, note stuff like the screw down crown. I think these are the best looking watches made by Rolex, and that includes the Day Date.
Just look at them in the flesh. Rolex are trapped by their own history and the conservatism of their customers. With the new Cellini models, they were able to do what they wanted. And it really shows.

haha if it was a illegal, i'd be locked up for life for all forms of participation.

I'm only about a month in with my DD40 I can say in my experience it has absolutely not jeopardize the rotation balance with my other SS watches.

Everyone is different, but for me the DD40 was a HUGE acquisition. It's not taken lightly. YES, i wear it often and it doesn't have to be some special occasion, but I don't wear it to work and there are plenty of other situations that it simply doesn't quite fit. I had a 3 day bachelor party last month that was screaming for the Hulk! I just finished wearing my Tudor BB for about a week, just for the hell of it.

That's just my experience and I'm sure it varies, but that's also part of the reason why I went with the DD40, cause it was different enough to justify it's place in the rotation.

Perhaps a 116655 would be a good fit for you!

[GerardoG]

Do not worry. It will bite back.

[beaujarle]

For me...i re-visit panerai.

Nice collection there... wearing my 510 Pan today, but I'm going in opposite direction. My 785 set will be on the action block soon.

I was in your shoes/thought process... I've flipped, traded, sold, bought....crazily this year. Just now starting to settle on what "fits" for me and my lifestyle. And...for the first time in 18 yrs, I branched out to another brand and it has fit a niche for my need, for a PM piece. I'll always have SOMETHING on my radar, but definitely going to dial it back for a while. It's a crazy/fun hobby....:) enjoy!

[travisb]

You're in a good place! Stay put and enjoy the great pieces you've been able to collect. There will be more that grab you. Just a matter of time.

[masyv6]

Keep saving...something else will bite you soon.

[GB-man]

Lucky you.

Paul, Do I EVER know how you feel!!! Me and my Kermit (50th anniversary sub) were minding our own business. We were both so happy until an AD said, "hey, you should check out TRF. Its a watch forum especially for Rolex and all the guys are cool and post pics of their watches, etc" Good Lord!! The Kermit is long gone, and Ive probably bought 15-20 watches in the last 5 years, currently with 4 models. I bought the new Daytona C back in May and thought hmmm... what else? Ended up falling for the SS YMII bc of its bigger size and kind of wanted a watch with some "SWAGGER". Don't worry my friend, stay on here and something will catch your eye.....fear not!!

If the 116655 was WG, I would be all over it, although when I saw this last year I thought the rose gold was pretty amazing too, just not what I would get for my first PM.

[Mozzer]

As it stands I have been looking around and there's nothing calling me
my most recent purchase was a BLNR I feel content at the mo
This is my little collection yours is too

[DeeTee]

Have fun and go try on an AP or Patek.
Maybe you want something for that special occasion like an Lange or JLC.

Don't get trapped into Rolex. Go do some research and come report your results!

[Rocco21]

Just be content with the great watches you have acquired for now and see if your mind changes later.Great collection so far.
