I currently have 5 Rolex....and I'm good for now...the other is a TAG, which was my first "Nice" watch and the other is an old (1957) Mido Multifort that I inherited from my Dad.

Currently I'm lucky enough to own 2, an Explorer and a DateJust





There are also 1 or 2 others on my wish list but that will take quite some time.

Four, in my signature and hopefully I'll be adding a fifth today. I'm looking at buying the Hulk, that's if my local AD has one available. I'll add some pics if I do get one. Fingers crossed.

I have had around 8 in the past 4 years. But it's always the same watch being changed so always just 1 watch in my posession at any one time.
But I have owned the ones I really wanted so the BLNR, Daytona and Hulk.

My first is a 1959 Zephyr 1008 Purchased by my dad new. He wore it every day for over 50 years. It was serviced once in 1980 when the crystal was replaced and unfortunately the hands and dial where replaced with OP style.
Apparently this would not have been all that uncommon when service was done on Radium hands and dials in the 70's and 80's. The bracelet is aftermarket now so as to preserve what is left of the original, it has considerable stretch and wear.

This watch gave me the appreciation of a mechanical device that is simple and functional. It served as his primary time piece for over a 1/2 century, He was never gentle with it, it was used as a mans watch doing mechanical and automotive work day in and day out. One service in 57 years and it still keeps time nearly as well as my box queens. I considered having it serviced or even restored to its original configuration, but it holds strictly sentimental value to me and I feel to undue that history would be an injustice itself.

My other Rolex.

16013 Datejust Jubilee bracelet, tapestry dial

18038 18k Y/Gold Presidential

5500 Air King

11600 36mm OP With Rhodium Steel dial

The only other Rolex I plan on adding is a Submariner at some point.

Must add an Omega Speedy pre-1969. And thinking of pulling the trigger on a 1978 Benrus Class A to actually go diving with. Banging and clanging a Benrus will be less worrisome than babying a Rolex on a diveboat IMHO.

Update: Added Daytona and Explorer II and Oysterquartz. Traded 116710LN for JLC Reverso Duo. Got the Benrus and Glycine and Speedmaster. Next maybe a Day Date.

A classic 2 for me:

Submariner & Datejust.


I would very much like to add either a Daytona or a TT Sub one day in the future.

I just purchased my first last week, so i have one. Id say its kind of like saying you have 1 tattoo, but its a full sleeve. I know others may be equivalent to a full body tattoo, but id say this is equal to a full sleeve.
