I used to think owning a sea dweller or a sub is the end game for my Rolex hobby. I told myself I would be good with a masterpiece like sea dweller. Then I come here everyday, the more I read the more I think MAYBE add a hulk or a Daytona wouldn't be a bad idea. Now the game seems endless. The wish list just keeps on going.

Eventually, the Platona.

Gold Sub. That's the end game.

White Gold SkyDweller

steveng01 · 3 November 2016, 02:05 PM

My original route: explorer 1 -> sea dweller, period.
New route: explorer 1 -> sea dweller -> black Daytona C

I tend to keep them all, no flipping.

Platona

Timesurfer · 3 November 2016, 02:19 PM

Well, as long as we're wishing, lets say a Paul Newman Daytona, a comex sub and the original Watch used by Sean Connery... ;-)

Seriusly, i'd be happy with a Daytona Ceramic either one is fine.... but I've got a lot to be thankful as far as I am concerned to be honest....

White gold Sub / Smurf
Having said that, it's in Nautilus price bracket - I'd get the PP.

There is no end game......

rollee1 · 3 November 2016, 03:04 PM

What end game?

hbk25 · 3 November 2016, 03:25 PM

Oddly enough, I'd be torn between an explorer i & no date sub c. I'm not overly keen on shine/polish right now. Plus 40 mm is my max. And I hate babying what's on my wrist.

I look to higher end manufacturers for big ticket items. To me the exp i & no date sub are both very iconic pieces for Rolex.

dht_tubes · 3 November 2016, 03:34 PM

If you still in this web

Never ending story!!!!!!

dadonn2 · 3 November 2016, 03:34 PM

Maybe a better question than what's your grail, since that one watch may be more of a moving target than one's end game. After cycling through six models, I think it will be a yellow gold sports model. Probably a yg GMT black dial, keep my tt blue sub and add an over 40mm piece if I find one that moves me. I've enjoyed getting my wife watches, maybe more than myself. I've picked them all and she enjoys the hell out of it. For her- she's got a hulk, a ym blue dial, and a 34mm white dialed air king. I'm thinking a 36mm datejust on jubilee and at some point, a 36mm prez and she'd be done. No Daytona for her. Something to look forward to anyway.

rolexnub · 3 November 2016, 03:41 PM

I am contended and enjoying my collection right now. The end game for me would be when I am down to just one SS Rolex piece (when the other 2 are sold). Hopefully with God's help that would still be decades from now.

enjoythemusic · 3 November 2016, 03:49 PM

It should be arriving in about a week or so :)

brmeyers · 3 November 2016, 03:54 PM

My Rolex endgame is the next Baselworld...

Right now looks like now foreseeable endgame for me...
I love Rolex and its variety, evolution and change...

as long as rolex keep bringing new watches out at Basel I don't think there will be an end game rolex for me.
As of now I Rolex Day Date 40 would be my end game rolex but that would take me years to save up.

Andad · 3 November 2016, 04:19 PM

Rolex haven't designed my end game....yet.

And when they do there will probably be none in stock in Oz.

Lordofrolex · 3 November 2016, 04:24 PM

No end game. Probably just move on to more expensive brands.

Rock · 3 November 2016, 04:30 PM

So - would "end-game" be your 'Grail' or would it be the last watch that you would buy to 'complete' a collection. For me, achieving my 'Grail' would not necessarily be the end of a collection because it would still be just one of several Rolex that I would really like to own.

al503 · 3 November 2016, 04:57 PM

I'm in the buy once, cry once camp so I went directly for the WG DD40. Was planning on adding a sub as a beater but I can't see wearing anything besides the DD40 (for now...)

A WG or Platinum sub, preferably with a black dial and bezel (or in very dark gray/slate) would make me change my mind very quickly, though.
