Ideal 3 watch collection

[rolexest]

I am working towards:

- 126710BLRO
- 5712a
- 15407st

I might be tempted to sneak a 116500 in there and not tell OP about it

[Dhiren]

Take your pick
Set 1 non Ceramic Air land and sea

Set 2 Ceramic Air-land and Sea

Waiting on the Explorer to return from the spa. Will post pictures when the trio lands.

That may as well be the most beautiful triplets, besides the Crimmins ofcourse.

If I had to keep just 3:
1. LVC
2. BLRO
3. 116503 either white or black dial. Likely white.
(Would sell my 116500 and go TT)

I agree

My realistic target of 3 would be this:
GMT-126710BLRO
Chrono-116500LN
Diver-114060/BB58

Current 3....but I would love to add a GMT.

Sub, GMT II, DJ do nicely as everyday, travel & dress combo.

AP Royal Oak Perp calendar steel white dial, AP royal oak open work double balance, Rolex GMT II Full rose gold :)

[JRell]

Datejust 41 blue dial jubilee fluted, 114060, and Daytona white dial ceramic soon to come in.

[Pacheco]

Today’s my first day back!! These 3 held me down for a long time! But I just added an Explorer II because I missed a GMT. Gave up my 16710 for $6000 when this crazy addiction took off!!

Ideally you want three 3 watch collections. 8-10 is a good number to have your bases covered and most itches scratched

[JSCP]

A recommend:

DJ40 or 39/36 on steel oyster white dial.
A Daytona or Sub Date Steel , hope you find one
A PP Calatrava or Rolex YG day date 40 or 36 mm, white dial/Romans

This is one of my favorite threads. I love to see all the big collectors being put to the test and being forced to pick their favorite 3.

It must be a great place to be in a collectors lifespan (3 watches) as they are probably all going to see good wrist time and likely have a clear purpose for each watch.

[LyingFlat]

For me, it would be:

DJ41 - fluted bezel, jubilee, blue stick dial
TT SD
IWC Big Pilot 'Boutique London' Edition

This... though I could replace the Exp with the OP 36... or not, tough call.

I chose these three to come with me for a road trip.

[Jim_GMT]

I have my BLNR for everyday and a Tag Aquaracer (30th birthday present) that will always keep and would love a white face 116500 LN and that would be me happy. I've been on a list for one since it was released but imagine its never going to happen.



That said, a Nautilus 5711 blue face would be an amazing watch to own as well....!

My current 3 watch collection. Not much to speak of but I love them all & they make me proud. They all have a story attached to them and I will never part with any of them.

Raymond Weil Parsifal MOP diamond dial Quartz - 2008 (First watch over £1k)
Oris Classic Moon Phase - 2010 (First automatic watch)
DJ41 - 2020 (First luxury watch and grail Rolex)

The Oris is going in for a service next week to get polished and to fix the sub dial (it's been knocked off the wrist by the DJ). It's had a few dings over the years & is long overdue some TLC.
