Can you have one too many Subs

Currently have two subs LN and LV also a BLNR. Have the bug for another maybe a bluesy, but was thinking maybe that's already too many subs. Anyone own more than one sub or too many subs. Please share, pictures are always welcomed.

Many members here have 3-4+ subs but I'm good with a variety of different models. Go for it if that's what want! As many say... Can't go wrong with a sub

Subs are awesome. Maybe try an older model, but then you might the vintage bug.

I've got three of them already, and wouldn't mind adding a bluesy one of these days...

It's called "collecting". Better (IMHO) to collect something that you can use and enjoy, rather than beanie babies or something like that that just sits on a shelf.

Subs are nice, but why put all your eggs in one basket as the old saying goes?

You can have 500 of them if you want. but what is the point.

Why not go for a GMT, it looks similar but has a totally different function.

Why not go vintage, all the same sounds boring.

You can consider new blue Pelagos with in-house movement, which looks like Smurf.

If there is one watch to have a multiple of it's the mighty sub, so many variations now and metals too.

The question was...can you have one too many Subs?

Answer, sure. But it's all up to you. I you think it's too many, you're right. If you think it's not enough, right again.
