Is anyone else here a one-watch-wonder?

It starts with one, like everyone says.

off topic:

I think a watch will be stolen no matter where you are and what brand it is. Just saying, you can be in Manila or L.A., if it catches the attention of the mugger, then you will get mugged.

I now have three Rolex watches but for the first thirty one years I only had one, a lowly AK that I wore 24-7.

That being said, excluding the real enthusiasts on this site, I would think the average Rolex owner has only one watch.

submariner66 · 24 August 2014, 09:42 AM

One is all you'll ever need. More to life than collecting wrist watches!

gwozhog · 24 August 2014, 09:59 AM

Started with one rolex. And then had 3. Now back down to 1. My priorites have changed in life. However i love TRF like i have a 100 watches.

up2nogood · 24 August 2014, 10:13 AM

Good for you, you only actually need one of them so you're not being silly.

To be honest, I own watches that I don't even really like and am about to embark on culling spree. No Rolex's leaving though, I have limited myself to three. Sub C, 42mm Explorer and a 1680. Am toying with the idea of a gold Oysterquartz though........

Will the madness ever end!?

Headshrinker · 24 August 2014, 10:24 AM

Alone, with one good watch? Yes,yes you are.

CWIN · 24 August 2014, 11:07 AM

I started with only having 2 watches for the last 9 years and went buck wild after joining TRF last summer. It's a sickness.

jjnd08 · 24 August 2014, 11:30 AM

I'm down to one Rolex. SS Daytona.

Although I hope to have a second one in the near future.

GB-man · 24 August 2014, 12:33 PM

Good on you. Some just don't feel the need to own multiple watches. I'm not there yet

SeaAndSky · 24 August 2014, 02:20 PM

Just one for me although I'm saving to pay cash for a second.

There are many watch-lovers who can afford many Rolex and don't.
There are many watch-lovers who can afford many Rolex and do.
There are many watch-lovers who can't afford many Rolex but do anyway.
It's really more about individual personalities than about financial capacity.

Currently a one watch wonder, but i know that wont last!

Well I am just like you. The Only high end watch for me is a 16710. I am looking forward to acquire more Rolexes in the future.

guyb · 24 August 2014, 04:45 PM

Just the one for me. Sub. Wear it around the clock :)

DCheeta · 24 August 2014, 05:03 PM

My goal in life is to be a one-watch man. I should say "dream", because I'll probably never achieve it. I keep buying more, and I never sell any.

rolio · 24 August 2014, 10:49 PM

One 16710 and a Seiko Diver 6309. That's it.

Horology.life · 24 August 2014, 10:58 PM

I started with one, then joined here, and everything has snowballed from there.
It's became a hobby, searching, researching, talking, buying, flipping watches!!!

incontrol · 24 August 2014, 11:10 PM

TRF has done me in! I was happy with my Breitling and then I found my way here. I have too many watches but even if I consolidate, I can not get below 7 that I really would like to keep and wear. I don't think I can ever get to 3 or 4.

When I got my first watch I was a one-watch wonder. That lasted only a few weeks.

tripleC · 24 August 2014, 11:36 PM

Haha same here I had the same Rolex explorer for years and then I found this site. And thank The Lord I did. Good day folks.
