Those are completely different watches, even if they do have similar functions and designs and it shouldn't be a surprise that a collector who appreciates the nuances would want to have all three. You might want to do a search for Mike Wood's Rolex collection. That should make your eyes pop and your head spin.

As when the man was asked.... Why do you climb the mountain?.. Because it is there. I was up to 4 (14060, 16610LV & 16613)... Sold 3 & left with a simple old 16600... Owning them all together made it fun to pick my favorite. This thread needs some pics....

I own two. I bought a 16610, thinking it would be a less expensive way to satisfy my desire for the Sub C.
Of course, I eventually ended up with the Sub C, but I can't imagine ever selling either. |

Because your wife won't notice that you've bought 3 Rolexes, she'll think they are all the same one.
ProTip: If the above is true for you, then you can sneak in a GMT and a GMT-IIC with black bezels as well. If she really doesn't know watches, then add a Pelagos and a vintage Tudor Snowflake as well.

Although I probably wouldn't get all three, I totally get why some people would.

Different people like different things. I don't care for the DJ II or the Daytona and will probably never own either. Divers are just more interesting to me. I have a DJ TOG and a Milgauss. Everything else is a GMT, sub, or SD.

I have a diver watch but I don't dive. Does that make any sense?

Really? You posed that question fully knowing the responses you'd get, right? Right?

I can see a Sub and a Sub Date. Or a Sub and a SD. Or a Bluesy and any of the three or an 18kt any any of three, but not a Sub and Sub Date unless your talking vintage.

Sounds like my SO asking why I want another Rolex sport model since they all look the same....

It called "collecting".
I get great joy in looking at my collection. I don't have 3 subs, but I do have very similar watches. I buy them for me. Not for occasions or others.
