I had a TT Air King from 1986-95.
Wife bought me a SS Air King in Switzerland in 1999.
Bought a Day Date in 2022 & an OP in 2023.

35 years total.

Only about three years for me.

My first was a Daytona, then I added a Submariner 16610, then an Oyster Perpetual 1014, two Datejust 1601s. My latest addition has been my 16710 GMT, which just came back from an overhaul by Rolex.

I have also gotten two Datejust for my wife.

Got my first Rolex, a SS Datejust with fluted bezel, blue dial, and Jubilee bracelet in 1984, so 40 years ago. I have had a total of 13 since with a couple of gaps where I had none. I currently own four Rolex.
Including other brands, currently around 20, and so many over the years I’ve lost count.

♛- Yet to be determined, but a white 16520 is on the short list. (I believe that I'll be able to read it better than my old 116520)

1987, TT Datejust with Champagne dial. It was the watch to have back in the late 80’s.
My current is steel DJ 41, Wimbledon dial.

35 years. My brother wanted to sell his DateJust so he could get a Day-Date, and he convinced me that it was the perfect watch. He was right! Still have and wear it regularly.

6 years, submariner. I’m always looking to add another but haven’t found anything that would take wrist time away from my sub.
