For some reason I have not had a chance to go overboard yet. I love to many brands and lack resources to go overboard in a way which would be excessive. But going overboard is probably part of the collecting experience. I might go overboard with subs or GMTs but I am not there just yet.
Nice collection you had! And I LOVE the atmos. I have several of them and am officially addicted to them!

Daytona Crazy - have you ever gone overboard? 6239, 6241, 6262, 6265
When I first started collecting vintage Rolex, it was the Daytona that really grabbed my attention. As i matured as a collector, and as my tastes changed, my attention got pulled had by the Submariners....particularly the Sea-Dweller. Nonetheless, from my...
Overboard for the Dayto? Never.
I own a white 16520 and I am very happy with. I will certainly add a black 16520 to do the pandi panda Dayto, and maybe I will get a vintage Dayto. Then, Basta. The problem with the Daytona is that it is like a train which has long gone without you on boa...
on FF...understatement of the year/decade/century
But did you ever go overboard and then reverse the situation? Daytos...i went from 5 to 2.
No not on the mentionned watches.
In my whole story with the FFs, I only sold 4 of them, well, 3 and a trade on the 4th... As you well know. ;) BUT I do regret the three I sold. Especially a certain Bund I would have been better inspired to keep. Best, Nicolas
Another chance will come
Nicolas- I have learnt in life that the trains never leave the station forever. Meaning yes you might have missed a few stops but eventually you will get your chance. Weather you even want it or need it, that is another question all together. I like your ...
Overboard, too much , never....
You can never have too many daytonas I mean you need a 8238 6238 6263- white panda 6263- big red a little gold ...
Hm, a touch....overboard....?
That must be a typical Rolex phenomenon. A JLC guy would NEVER go overboard......! ;) Best, my friend Blomman

Hello dear Joe! Your post moves us to many thoughts...
... and it is so interesting to read (and view) how fellow collectors here feel about this matter. Personally, I had always thought that when a person buys more than three or four objects of same kind (be it knives, guns, cars or watches -or whatever for ...
I once did...
With Panerai at one time... And now I'm spreading it even on different brands, different series... Although I really like the idea of going overboard with Daytona I started off with the new 116520 And then I saw one of the nicest color Patrizzi Daytona th...
That was a serious Daytona Collection
And with the 2 you have left, it still is! Enjoy those two. I am just starting to see the allure of the vintage Daytona. I like the clean silver dials, without the red "Daytona". And I think I favor the black bezel over the silver bezel, but I also think ...
Well Thank you for your kind words Mike!
And actually there are models of your preference.. Try check out 6241 or 6264! Although I think they're not very common Cheers Sam
Thank you, Sam
I have never even heard of a 6264 with a black dial. You learn something new every day on this forum - esp as a newbie. It appears to be a VERY rare beast. V/R Mike
Gorgeous watches Sam! You are killing me with that....
Big Red Sigma!!!! Holy moly... ;)
Sensational was the first word that popped into my head...
Great stuff as always, Joe!
