Icon3 The last Rolex to complete your collection

After spending about 1 month on the forum, I realized many people have a collection (more than 1) of Rolex. I just think it might be interesting to see:

1. how many Rolex watches you have had (including flipped ones)?
2. how many Rolex watches you think you might own in your life?
3. Which Rolex will you be happy to take as last one and complete your collection?

I know most people would answer question 2 as "unlimited", but please at least give an answer on question 1 and 3...

My answer is
1. 1
2. 1-2
3. Maybe current Explorer I or a SS version of GMT.

Thanks!

1: 2 (The classics - A Sub and a DJ)

2: 5

3: SS Daytona, TT Bluesey Sub and who knows what the future may bring.

Good thread idea OP



P.S. The above is completely null and void should there be a substantial lottery win

1. 5 (including Tudor)
2. Dunno, maybe another 2-3.
3. Still up in the air. Maybe YG Sub with sunburst dial, YG Day-Date 40, or WG Daytona with blue dial. (All three is nice to think about, but probably not in the cards.)

1. 11
2. Unsure, but I'll say another 11. 100% increase from current.
3. In the end of the day, none. I'll be happy with a wealth of knowledge through my experience with the brand.
I like to be a Rolex expert.

I have owned a total of 8, listed in signature (have had two 116520--one I never wore bought for trade bait, and two 116619--traded in used for new)

Happy with two currently but will likely add third eventually. No current plans to move other watches any time soon.

Would like either rose gold Daytona or platinum one.

I have had 19 Rolex watches, currently have 17.
I likely will own a total of 25
I will add the 116500, 116610 LV and to top it off, the 228239 with silver or rhodium dial

The last Rolex to complete your collection

1. Four, one of those flipped
2. Gosh I hope not too many
3. I'm hoping it was the 1680 red sub I just picked up. But of course now I gotta have a creamy 5513...
