To many Divers?

Is it possible to own to many divers?

I have a few 40mm Yacht Master's, but I don't consider those divers since they only have 100m water resistance.

How many rolex divers do you guys own?

YM's are only quoted as having 100M resistance...rumored to be 300M since they, too, sport the Trip-Lock crown. Also, the timing bezel is laid out exactly the same (save for the bi-directional nature, which actually argues against it being a true diver). YM's go both ways, if you know what I mean.

But I digress.

Each one of those pieces is absolutely beautiful.

But that's too many divers.

I have the trilogy of the submariner, deepsea and sea dweller 43. At times I do feel it is a bit much but overall I’m glad to have all three. It’s like a mini museum lol

If multiple identical pieces I would question your logic, but you have a diverse line up so wear and enjoy. Personally, I wouldn't go for that many divers but its purely subjective, no too many with Rolex

Not enough yet, Sam. You still need some Sea Dwellers in there. I love ‘em, glad you still have that modified 114060.

That is too many. Pick your favorite 2 or 3 and sell the rest.

You have a great Rolex diver selection! I have two Rolex Subs amongst others now but always thinking of adding an SD4K or a Kermit.

What else do you have? If that is your entire collection, I would say that you have too many Rolex divers. But if you like them, why not.

Not if you collect divers. You've discovered what you love in a watch.

I don't have any dive watch right now, though I'm planning to get one post-covid.
Nothing against divers, but I wanted my collection to have different complications, like chronograph, gmt, moonphase maybe.

Buy what you like. My collection has 5 chronographs, which you can argue is too many, as well. Don't add complications or other styles to your collection just because people think you should.

I only have 3, but you can never have too many. You do know that the one who dies with the most at the end wins.

Yes, it is possible to have too many divers. Although I don’t know how many that would be)
That being said, I personally have only one (nothing to brag about:)

I would say yes. 4 look identical ( Black dial, and bezel.) The only difference is the green bezel on the Kermit. Otherwise, same dial as the other 4 black dials. The blue and gold is the only one that stands out.

Thanks man! I added a new RubberB to it today. This Strap was actually for the old style non ceramic sub, so I had to modify it a little. But I wanted the red stripe, so I found a way.

Great collection, Ive just got my first Rolex (116613LB) but only ever looking to add one more most (due to funds) probably an SD43 or DSSD not for any dive potential just for the look, I expect most dive watches don’t get used for diving and most chronographs are purchased for looks rather than functionality, if I win the lottery though I would definitely expand the watch collection.
