These two satisfy pretty much any situation for me.

Nice! I have a very similar lineup, except I have a white DJ41.

I have a two watch rotation. One Rolex and one Omega. I'm not looking to add anything and I'm comfortable with these two.

I have three and I've had them a long time. I no longer have much interest in Rolex, especially the six digit references but the three I own were watches I wanted and I still enjoy them.

I have 3 but rotate only between the "central" DJ41 and one of the subs.
At the moment the SS is in the banksafe.

I have 3 and love them all. I'm probably not done but the 114060 get's the majority of wrist time.

I see the point but is pretty much like our friend is saying.... I like other flavors also.

Right now I'm just with a BLNR and a Explorer II 216570, but waiting for nov/19, when I get my call for a 126710 BLRO.

Different flavors for different occasions.

3 watch collection here. 2 Rolex (one vintage and one modern) and 1 AP (modern).

I think a 4 watch collection is the perfect size. However, when I only had 2 watches, I thought 3 would be perfect....I see a pattern developing.

2 Rolexes for me, pre-2016 Explorer and GMT-LN (plus a bunch of Omegas, Tissots, Longines, Seikos). When I get the itch for a 3rd Rolex I borrow my brother's Air King for a day. Or two.

I'd like three but just don't see a point, so I just come here to look at the ones I like from the sidelines.

All Rolex are beautiful, you will want them all, if you can get them all, cool, go for it.
SD43 and Dblue are a great duo and my only watches. The Dblue is amazing and has become my daily. Cant go wrong with these two.

I have four Rolex right now but want to loose one I don't wear as much as I thought I would.
Currently....Daytona 116520, Submariner 1680, Explorer 114270 and SD 116600.

Guess which gets the least wrist time?

Hmmm, I told myself I only needed two, then three...well you get the picture. I have 5 Rolex, a couple of seikos, a citizen and a couple of casios.
I just got my Daytona yesterday but was already hunting a new GMT and I haven’t even delved into datejusts and day dates yet.
If three works for you, be happy and enjoy them. No harm in that.

I like your mix. I also have different watches for different purposes.

I realized 30 some years ago after my first Rolex (5513) that one simply could not be it be it for me

3 or 5. 4 feels off.
2 rolex is optimal for me.
3 others are on straps.

If I get the call for the new Pepsi it will create an imbalance... though I don't see a call coming anytime soon... and not willing to pay over msrp for this one.

I think 3 is about the sweet spot. Keeping them in a box is no fun, at least not to me.

They have to see sunlight at least weekly.
