Six, so far.

Lamone · 9 June 2009, 06:07 PM

7 for me, though sizing down to two.
I'll most likely keep the GMT '74 and the Expy II '72.

Black Bay Dan · 9 June 2009, 06:53 PM

I have had my Air King since 1978, but recently my mother past onto me my late father's circa 1965 Explorer, so I will now have to alternate between the two, which is slightly unfair on the Air King as it has been on wrist pretty much permanently for the last 30 years.

Dan - hello everybody btw

I have had my Air King since 1978, and have just had my late father's circa 1965 Explorer past on to me. I will now alternate between the two, which is probably a bit unfair to the Air King as it has been on my wrist pretty much permantly for the past 30 years.

Roughly 25 years , I have bought and sold some but I have 4 and my wife 2 which we most likely will keep and hope to add a couple more in the years to come. Depends what Rolex will bring out in the futur or if I find a 100% original 6239 that I can afford ( that may be easier said then done)

All purchased new.

GMT - 7/99
Sub Date - 6/00
TT Daytona - 2/08 (present from my wife)
Sea Dweller - 4/09 (present from my wife)

I was done w/ my Rolex "wants" after the GMT & Sub, as they are the two that I have always wanted. The last 2 are just bonuses.

Armand · 11 June 2009, 05:51 AM

only one, but Wifey has two, and I am just buying one!

Stilll: at the very moment only one for me!

Just the one, there's far to many lovely watches in the world to stick to the one brand!

My next watch will be a Stowa Flieger Original, though the waiting list is currently over a year. Some time in the more distant future I've love to get a marine deck watch from the likes of Dornbluth or Lange & Sohne.

JaySS · 11 June 2009, 09:21 AM

Three so far

All purchased within around 8 months.

I swear I didn't know this would happen

Paul7039 · 11 June 2009, 09:45 AM

Three for me - 14060M and SS Daytonas - black and white. No more for a while.
