After nearly 10 years of adding and subtracting...
... I think I am pretty much done. And yes, I no longer have the energy to chase my AD or "play the game". I feel like I have a fair balance between oyster and jubilee, oysterflex and PCL. What would I do different in this pile? Well, I've been trying to change out the black DJ36 to a fluted blue dial DJ36 and that black OP39 would be sweet if it was a yellow OP41. But hey, I have stopped trying to chase when it is just not meant to be.
Actually, hold on. That stool just may be able to fit one more Day Date. YG on lacquered green dial would be perfect, no? Perhaps if things go smoothly the next year or two (and if one of my ADs finally decides to make me a happy man!).

A beautiful collection built over time...
And two well composed, eye-catching photos! Enjoy!
It was a difficult picture to capture…
…then I thought it would be. Had to resort to using the phone for one of the two images.
Well done. And terrific photos!
It surely must be gratifying to figure out what you like and to curate a collection to reflect that. Congrats!
Knowing myself
Took definitely a bit of time and self exploration. Some mistakes made. But zero regrets!
Perhaps you are right
But I have given up on other hobbies before. And with a 2yo at home, there has been less time to browse watches!
My goal…
…is a box of just 8 grails and 3 daily watches. I wonder if this is achievable. I have one more watch arriving soon, and then probably nothing for a long while.
Six super similar watches!
I think you're done with watch collecting. At least in the Rolex department! A beautiful collection of Rolexes!
Great collection
I'd definetely add a daydate to complete it, so you have the jubilee, the oyster, the president and the oysterflex.
It’s hard to think there’s anything wrong with this lineup.
But I do see your point on the DJ and the OP. However maybe the OP should remain as it’s the simplest of all and the black dial you know will always work in pretty much any situation. In any event, a fantastic collection. Thanks for sharing.
I see the appeal
For a good old black dialled watch. But I feel that is perhaps a job better suited for the DJ36!
Modern indeed
I have flirted with the idea of vintage (and only ever got to watches from the 90s) but realized there is much I do not know. Modern will have to do.
Nice collection
Enjoy wearing them and take your time to make your mind what piece will be your next whether it is DD or maybe one those other brands you pictured.
