I have seven, but it took me a decade to collect them all.

My tastes don't jibe much with the crowd, but here's what I have. None are currently in production.

114270--Explorer
116200-63600--DateJust on Jubilee
14060M--Submariner
116710BLNR--GMTII
1503--14K YG OP Date on leather strap
16570--Explorer II on leather strap
16253--Turn-O-Graph (Thunderbird)

The five I would keep if I had to keep only five:
116520 White- just adore this watch
116710LN- my first and “only” Rolex I swore I’d buy
214270- quickly becoming my favorite
116600- best dive watch ever
116300 blue Roman rhodium dial (40th bday present from the Mrs)
I’d have to pitch these:
116500 white
116500 black
116520 black
126710BLNR

After being away from the forum for a while I can appreciate how silly these threads are. I mean 5 rolex watches. ONLY FIVE? Hahaha.

Money is no issue:

YG DD 36mm
Platona
Smurf

I only really want 3. 4 and 5 aren't important.

Maybe a rose gold GMT for metal variety.
Maybe a Cellini.

I'm not actually all that thrilled with the 2 I've acquired in the last 35 years. I admire people that are kind to animals, and wear $15 watches.
