I am humbled, thrilled, and very fortunate to have obtained some highly desirable SS Rolex timepieces from my AD in New York.

My fabulous five are:

- GMT Master II - 126710 BLRO (Pepsi)
- Daytona 116500 (white)
- Daytona 116500 (black)
- GMT Master II - 116710 BLNR (Batman)
- Sea-Dweller 116600 SD4K

After acquiring the 126710 BLRO (Pepsi) at Christmas, I feel I might be done with Rolex. At this point, I think I am just going to sit back, chill, and enjoy my timepieces.

Famous last words right?

no, but very close. I would add Hulk, DSSD blue and SkyD blue

ozwatchguy · 6 January 2019, 10:38 AM

It’s never enough until you’ve got every SS in your collection lol

On a serious note I’d add a Hulk or swap it with your black dial Daytona if you wanted to keep it at 5.

Otherwise what you have now is definitely quite enough to enjoy each piece in rotation with equal wrist time

Very nice collection! But it is never enough!

TickTockChuck · 6 January 2019, 10:45 AM

Very nice collection thus far indeed! Well, you have many of the coveted SS models, so most folks would be happy to hold the line there. You just got the wonderful SS Pepsi. All I might suggest is the LVc which makes a fun addition and would add a Submariner which you lack. The next stage might be a move into PM. Good luck and enjoy what you already have nonetheless. Cheers!

Andad · 6 January 2019, 10:46 AM

You are getting there.

envuks · 6 January 2019, 10:46 AM

You have amassed most of the current sought after pieces. It's a great collection.

Have you thought about maybe a PM piece next?

You’re done?
Is Rolex the only brand you like?

Chilly Coconut · 6 January 2019, 10:48 AM

What a coincidence that your favorite watches in the Rolex lineup would also be the hardest to acquire and most coveted! Or is that why you selected them to acquire? Don’t you need a Sub LVc?

The psychology of this Forum is fascinating.

Starhutch · 6 January 2019, 10:52 AM

Great collection...my money is on you are not done

huncho · 6 January 2019, 10:58 AM

nice collection. personally would flip 1 of the daytonas for a skydweller or an AP RO at some point

Tony8959 · 6 January 2019, 10:59 AM

Beautiful modern collection .. have all SS bases covered for the most part. So unless a newly redesigned model comes out or you decide to get some PM pieces I think you’re good.

The Libertine · 6 January 2019, 11:00 AM

Get a 5-digit.

Rashid.bk · 6 January 2019, 11:03 AM

You need a yellow gold DD to round it off.

watch81 · 6 January 2019, 11:04 AM

Great collection, missing yellow gold I feel.

codecow · 6 January 2019, 11:06 AM

No birth year? I think you’re just starting out and have a nice sample of modern pieces.

Roger Lococco · 6 January 2019, 11:08 AM

A blue dial YM 1 would go very well with this outstanding collection.

Looks like the whos who of stainless Rolex in the past 5 years. Nice.

brandrea · 6 January 2019, 11:11 AM

Fantastic collection indeed

If it were me, I’d add a Seadweller 43 or Dblue and a Skydweller

Not that what you have isn’t awesome because it is

peticks · 6 January 2019, 11:12 AM

Enough? Well, that Question ended after your first one (2nd if we are being a little generous). Now- It’s a matter of what makes you happy and your bank account could/would allow. (If you’re married, add another layer there.)

Enjoy all of them! They are all classics.

SLS · 6 January 2019, 11:13 AM

Nice collection, but I have found there is always room for one more!

Missing a Submariner.

Get a Hulk, Kermit, or just a black sub.

inadeje · 6 January 2019, 11:21 AM

Amazing collection. Hulk or YM II maybe?

dibarch · 6 January 2019, 11:22 AM

Great collection beautiful! You must have a great relationship with you AD. I would love to have the same relationship you have :)

Definitely a FABULOUS five for sure! Wow! Very impressive and nicely done. I'm on board with others here, and also think a Sub or two would fit nicely in with your existing "family". Definitely an LV, and maybe also a no date 114060? If you run out of SS refs, you can then start on the 5 digit SS and work your way down?

dr35mm · 6 January 2019, 11:31 AM

Enough is a relative term... to some its 1 and to others its everyone out. It’s all about you.

bronzeband00 · 6 January 2019, 11:33 AM

Nice colletion. Would have been a lot better with a Hulk added to it.

Rolexavidfan · 6 January 2019, 11:39 AM

Make it 7 so a watch a day by adding Sub LVc and SkyDweller SS Blue Dial.

Then I would say the last word to you: DONE.

Nice group of Rolexes. You're lucky to have that relationship with your dealer. If I had your collection, a Hulk would be next on my list, followed by a Polar Explorer II.
