Modern or vintage, both?

Vintage- could be a dozen I would love to own- Never going to happen
Modern- probably 2-3 I wouldnt want my entire collection to be one brand

Two can be as bad as one,
It's the loneliest number since the number one”

So 3+

As many as you can afford, but I don't think anyone could be disappointed with a Rolex being their only watch.

sirish19 · 25 March 2019, 12:36 AM

I would say 3, the Sub, GMT and Daytona. I want to have more than Rolex in the collection so feel that these are the essentials and I can build out the collection with other brands.

If you stick with Rolex as a brand, it gets a bit repetitive past 10 maybe.

As many as one can wear and afford.

Solo118 · 25 March 2019, 01:54 AM

In all honesty, one Rolex is all anybody needs. Even that is a great accomplishment.

For me though the perfect number would be 3

1) RG DD40
2) WG Daytona
3) SS Sub

Currently at 2, but 3 (maybe 4 hehehe) would be my max. I’ll definitely reach a point where I need a bit of difference in brands. Would probably go PP after 3.

Pongster · 25 March 2019, 02:18 AM

N+1

Where N is the number of Rolex you currently have.

RaceDoc11 · 25 March 2019, 02:35 AM

I'm at 2 sub & GMT. once I manage to obtain Daytona & Sky D I'm done.

HogwldFLTR · 25 March 2019, 03:35 AM

Three work for me for now it's my Daytona, SD4K, and ExpII. These all fit my smallish wrist and allow me a special PM piece, one for active water sports, and one incognito piece perfect for travel.

Just count how many angels fit on the head of a pin. That's what they told me at Rolex.

Oldwoods · 25 March 2019, 04:02 AM

Currently on 4. 3 for my 3 (so far) grandchildren and one for me, except my daughter is talking about #4.
Hulk
Batman
Milgauss
SubC No Date

Plus Omega Seamaster 300

10klakes · 25 March 2019, 11:42 AM

For me the perfect number is more than 10 but less than 50. It varies-

Jason71 · 25 March 2019, 12:08 PM
