Hello everyone!

I have a question for the members of this fine forum.

Just out of curiosity, once the Rolex addiction began, what was the "order of Rolex acquisition" for you? I am curious to know if the collection started in any specific order, or if it was just random acquisition of pieces on a whim.

I have already started my "order" of Rolex acquisitions....it is as follows:

1) GMT Master II c (coming in the very near future God-willing)
2) The most recent "series' Submariner with date
3) SS Sub once the "new" model comes out in 2010
4) SS YM
5) SS Daytona with the white dial

I figure it will take me about 4-6 years to amass those watches, if I remain consistent with my "toy" budget savings...

Then, whatever happens to catch my eye!!!

Cato · 16 May 2009, 10:44 AM

I have a short list.

SS Datejust (got it)
YG Day Date (soon as I can afford it!)

Done!

STEELINOX · 16 May 2009, 11:53 AM

you go to the mall and you buy a watch then you go and drink a beer; its as simple as that, some of you get nauseas and are guilt ridden, others order the tamale plate with rice and beans, its not buying a Patek for cryin the frak out loud ~ itsa ROLEX ! AND EVERY MALL IN THE FREE WORLD HAS EM !
Funny, use the words, "toy and acquisition" like you were buyin a place on Park Ave !

Thanks,
Randy
now, where's my beer !

ijen0311 · 16 May 2009, 11:56 AM

SD first
next will probably be a dressier model (DJ? white Milgauss?)

from there on... not sure. Don't like the new TT Subs... can't afford the new WG sub...

maybe an AirKing or OP?

lobo58 · 16 May 2009, 12:57 PM

Got my dream watch years ago--s/s Daytona 6263. Considered selling it in order to get other watches on my list: a Benrus Sky Chief circa 1950 and a Submariner 1680 circa 1979. but decided it was worth waiting. I'll just have to make more money.

Imtiaz · 16 May 2009, 01:04 PM

Milgauss GV
YM
GMT IIc

That's me list. Got all the others so I am going slow on the above three.

may change my mind and get the pair of Milgauss B&W instead of the green.

Alcan · 16 May 2009, 01:57 PM

I have a few on my list, but the list is fluid. I look for something that's different from the mainstream Rolex, something that's unique, a milestone, a rare piece, etc.......

I think next collecting thrust is going to be the 1930's and 40's Canada only Rolex issues. Skyrocket, Observatory, Victory, Eaton 1/4 Century, Centregraph, Lipton, Junior Sport, Raleigh, Commander, Recorda, Edison, Grenfell, Standard, Shipmate, etc, etc.

I've seen a few of these, but most were in dire straits or were poorly redone.

Those first three are watches I've already aquired and that is the order I aquired them. I'm thinking of an SD next, but no plans beyond that.

pz93c · 16 May 2009, 02:39 PM

diablojota · 16 May 2009, 07:58 PM

The first one I had to have was the Sub Date 16610. Absolutely first on my list. I then acquired a DateJust and sold the DJ. I will be getting a second one, just not sure which one as of yet, either the DSSD or a YG Sub.
