Ever just want to sell them all and just roll with one?

[challer]

All the time. I am at four now. The two I would keep are the SkyD and SD43, with the SkyD in the lead. I would sell the DJ41 and GMTIIc.

[Hansch99]

I could sell the Sub and get by with this one just fine. There’s nothing it can’t do.

I've been thinking of trading some of for a smurf lately

[HogwldFLTR]

I've thought of it but have too many and don't want to do that much work. If I were to live with one it would be the SD4K.

[lguevara91]

no

[JY2016]

I just sold everything and reduced down to my DJ 41. Seems like a good time to do so.

[R!$]

you wont get anything for the TT so just keep that and start over

Do not pass go and do not collect $200

[ThatExplorer]

IF I MUST pick only one.... this would be my ride or die.

[droptopman]

Yes, thought about it. Probably keep the 114060 or sell everything and get a PM Sub as a daily

[Howlerbro]

Don't want to hijack the thread but interested in a different, tangential question that's been running through my mind - if you think back to when those of you only had one watch, what spurred you to buy the second (and what was the first/second)? I started out with the BLNR as my one and only to commemorate a professional milestone but have been getting the itch to add a compatriot one of these days - go back and forth between whether or not I need another (practically speaking, no) and spending late nights on the forum boards and websites daydreaming...

[jeffnnj]

Easily.

Problem is, the longer you hang around here the harder it is to stop buying watches!

I feel like I’m reading my own thoughts.

No, but if forced to it would be an easy choice:

And if I only had one - it wouldn’t be a Rolex

+1 here.

I've had a variety, and this one watch just does it all. There are several I like and have even repurchased, but this one tends to roll with me most days.

[actionkwj]

I enjoy my collection of mostly vintage watches, but if I had to go with just one it would be the simple do-it-all SubC “no-date” 114060. It is IMHO Rolex perfection (along with the Explorer 1 214270).

No way - I have to pinch myself daily being able to chose what Rolex I want to wear. Truely blessed. I guess coming from not a lot you appreciate it more

[jay_kay]

I've already started making routes to just one watch and thought I was getting there with my PP 5167, however, the AP 14790 arrived and hasn't been off my wrist. Maybe 2 would be OK

[opawlows]

If I had to, I'd probably be able to get by with this one as my one and only:

[Kyle3130]

Nice watch OP! I have seriously contemplated getting that exact DJ as my second. I however skipped the buying multiple step and have worn my Sub 14060M everyday for almost 6 years. It checks all the boxes for me.

[stratlanta]

I actually did this recently. Long story but we had a home reno project that spun wildly out of control (started as a simple deck replacement and ended up adding a new deck and an addition to the house....) and I wanted to pay for it with cash without dipping into any savings or adding debt. My watch and guitar gear collection had gotten a bit out of hand anyway so I sold a ton of it. I have to be honest, it felt great. I'm sure it will build back up over the next year or so.

The surprising thing though, was the Rolex that I kept. I was 100% sure it would be the DJ41 (and I do miss it) but at the last second I ended up keeping the Hulk. Something about it just speaks to me more than any of the others. Can't really explain why but it does. I wasn't expecting that to be the case - I thought it would be one of the first to go. And it's turned into such a great every day watch.

Ironically, the longer I go with just one, the less I actually think about it. It's just "my watch" if you know what I mean?

[ap1]

Think about it but just can’t

[MCO1]

It has crossed my mind! I would keep the 16710 pepsi it was my first and just a great all rounder.

[VicLeChic]

I've thought about liquidating my collection and wearing only my YM. However, from experience of being a one watch guy with a PO2500 many years ago, I know it would be unsatisfying so I stay put and wear my 12 watches with delight.

[arcentaur]

Need 2 for when the other is getting serviced and, you know, to break the monotony.

[Ravager135]

I've considered it. I have 10 watches at the moment and they all struggle to get on the wrist. When I have considered pairing down my collection, my instinct is to find really iconic models from the different brands I possess. The problem I run into is that if I were to do that, I end up with only black dial watches.

If I were forced to pair down I'd go with a 114060 Submariner, Big Pilot, Speedmaster Professional, and PAM 233. Some of these I do not even own, but would purchase to replace other models of the same brand. To me, these references are more representative of their respective brands.

[encarter13]

I could drop my collection down one piece, if I needed to. I would keep my 114060.

[mistercoach32]

I have thought about possibly making the final purge down to one, and if I do it'll likely be for a 116619 (WG Sub), but the softness of PM's keeps me away. Some people like scratch magnets. I do not. I went from a twelve watch collection to a two watch collection. It's been so freeing. I still love doing homework on all the makes and models, but I'm really content with what I have.

[HogwldFLTR]

I came close recently trading in 19 for 2 (one for me and one for the misses) and ending up with three Rolex and several extra non Rolex. It was a large load off of my shoulders. As part of the deal they are having my ExpII serviced and God only knows when I'll get it back. Also kept the SD4K.
