JJ should start his own church of Rolex-only worshippers.

I have too many watches to only own Rolex, but I do have 6 Rolexes (7 if you count the wife's). I hope to buy a couple more.

I'm all about variety too.. I'm getting pretty close to 30 watches, and I try to limit myself to not owning more than a few of any one brand.

If I ever had to cut my collection down to 3 or less watches, they would probably all be Rolex though, does that count?

If i could only have 3 watches, I would probably take:

a TT GMT-IIc for daily dressier wear, and a non-tropical travel watch.
a DEEPSEA for daily casual wear, and a topical destination travel watch.
and a SS White Face Daytona, for special occasions and because it's just so damn sexy :)

Currently in my Rolex lineup, i've got a TT GMT-IIc, SS WF Daytona, and i'm thinking i'll buy myself a DEEPSEA by Christmas.. Unless I buy a IWC Portuguese 7 day Automatic instead.. but i'll probably get the DEEPSEA.. argh i hate making decisions. People always tell me I have too much money on my hands, but I would argue I don't have enough. And besides my watch obsession, i'm really quite frugal. Really.

But yeah i'm very close to owning my ideal three, which (will) get the most wrist time out of my whole collection. I love all my other watches, but they mainly just look pretty for me in my display boxes.

You guys talk about variety, Tiger Woods done that too and I'm not sure that is a good thing.

Not me. There are far too many high end watch manufactures to hang your star on any one brand. Rolex is a solid, dependable, known factor, but it certainly isn't the Holy Grail or the be-all, end-all.
