Opinon on having more than 1 rolex

[glenn_herwig]

I know many here have 2 rolex watches in their collection but what are your opinions on having 2 of the same brands in your collection. I've been thinking about adding a 3 hand dive watch to my collection down the line like the 114060 but I have a GMT Ceramic so I feel my collection could be not well balanced. I'm thinking about the Tudor black bay eta to kind of even out the collection. I would consider my self a collector/passionate watch person even if I have 2 pieces at the moment. So what are your thoughts on having 2 Rolexes in a collection. IMO I don't like it. But I completely respect people that do and can see the reasoning for doing so.

Hope everyone is havings a Happy Holiday season!

All the best,

Glenn

Well, I have four (DJ, Sub, GMTII, Explorer) and I'd probably get more, but I'm so old and have too many watches to rotate through in a reasonable period of time anyway.

I think you will find that most here have more than one Rolex and many have more than two.

Not sure if I can answer your question, but I think your current collection (Rolex GMT + Omega Speedmaster) is as perfect as it can get!

Agree. Thats a great collection. Nothing wrong with having several Rolex watches in the same collection tho.

If I had the funds for 10 I would not have a problem with owning 10. The only thing that would make me think twice is if I ever got to the stage where I was not wearing them because I had too many.

Wrong question to ask around here.

Totally fine.

The rolexkingofLV has 5 Daytona's in different variations. I'm sure he loves his collection.

[Maiden]

Noting wrong with not having a balance of brands if that is what YOU want. It is YOU who defines what is a cool collection. Some people only collect subs, some people only collect square watches....to each their own. A great collection is what is great to YOU....don't worry so much about what we think.

[KenNethcole]

I've more then 2 and see nothing wrong. As long as you like it then that is all that matter.

I am old so I winnowed down to one watch - the Platona - and I wear it everyday. I have reached the point in my life where I don't want unnecessary objects. I can admire everyone else' stuff on TRF.

I'm fairly young and I feel this way . I also wear my TT Daytona as my daily.

Surely you could use a stainless steel diver or GMT if that Platona needs any work done?

Same for me one day (except mine will be a SS).

If you're going to have just one, you've sure got it.

I just have one, though I would like more, I'm in no hurry.

[mattty]

Think its really down to whether your a rolex wearer or rolex collector/wearer.

[JohnnyNoDate]

As you start to grow and round out your collection, having repeat brands should become less of an issue.

Unless you're specifically building a collection around brands...

You have to define what you want first.

[beshannon]

I have the watches I like to own and wear

[WAK4]

I've been all over with many brands...and down to mainly Rolex. I've tried to hold on to a larger variety of brands but reality is, I enjoy the Rolex sports models too much and like to rotate through them even if the majority of the world has no idea I have not been wearing the same one every day. For me, no need to have other varieties for variety sake

This is exactly my thoughts right now.
I love the modern look, feel, toughness and comfort of Rolex sports watches.
Here are 5 I will be rotating for a while (taken today)
So yes by all means have more than one

Personally I wish only one could do dress and sport but this simply isn't the case. The original 214270 with WG, not lumed, romans probably comes closest to accomplishing this.

[Maybelline]

I've just got one. Deepsea.

I won't be adding another because I only wear it on the weekends and I have a lot of hobbies that are expensive. There's not another watch I want but if I had extra funds for more watches and I loved one I would get it.

[keschete]

I really enjoy Rolex, although I do have other watches. I like Rolex best and I don't think I could set a limit.

You are on the wrong forum!

I've owned a few other brands - Panerai, Patek, AP, and Omega to name a few, but I come back to Rolex as I like the durability of the watches and am hard-pressed to find ANY bracelet as comfortable as the Rolex Oyster.

At present I've got 5 Rolexes (16110 LV, SD, Deep Blue, BLNR, Daytona) and 1 AP (15400). By a long shot, I wear the Rolexes most of the time - usually the BLNR.

[KrismanX]

The best thing about Your collection is that it is yours! You've got the quintesstential modern all-rounder and a historic chronograph(FANTASTIC choices, btw). Maybe add some gold or leather? Think rotation...What would be really different than your current lineup that strikes your fancy? And I see no issue with brand repeats in a collection! I don't think anyone on this forum minds more than one Rolex in their collections.

I've been getting really experimental with my second watch thoughts... I've seen some nice EXP/GMTs on here; but a bubble top 5513 is really screaming to me nowadays. I've also looked at PAM, or even a Mr G for something REAALLY different.

[brandrea]

I have four Rolex but I'd probably like to flip one for a Panarei to add a little interest.
