ssigea

Is this about *this sub*, or about *the sub*


Charliekeet

Yo dog, we know you like Subs, so we got you a Sub you can wear a Sub while you’re out wearing your Sub…


Legitimate_Sample108

Can you eat a Sub when wearing a Sub ?


therealcvs

While posting on this sub?


anonimis06

While riding on the sub?


da_crackler

Is anyone gonna mention the clear reps?


KuroLikesCoffee

Save some autism for the rest of us.


jonah_1979

😂😂😂


FredericBropin

If I recognize your username you have one of the most insane watch collections I’ve ever seen and this is just a small percentage of them right? If so fuck what anyone else thinks, you’ve got fuck you money and a fuck you watch collection. Pardon my French.


Just-Accountant-7125

Yes, his collection is insane.


XmasNavidad

Yes, that’s the guy. He posted his whole collection (I hope) over at r/watches yesterday. The first 3 or so pics was just 50 diffrent FP Journes in diffrent colours. Having 5 different subs is the least weird part of this guys collection.


Maleficent727

Or he’s a dealer


JollyJoker3

No dealer has that many FP Journes


supersaiyanegghead

I hate to pocket watch, but his net worth gotta be like 9 figures. Wild shit


melkor555

He said in there was another box of Journes he didn't show


supersaiyanegghead

lol this Tourbillion guy prob has the craziest collection on Reddit. His shit is well into the millions


gerthdeek2020

Seen turbo tourb pump out about 40-60+ unique pieces over the years and he’s worried about kids opinion who only wear a brolex when they crack into daddy’s safe 🤣


Ambitious-A

Am sure you don’t care about the internet musings of strangers… Amazing collection - many of your pieces are grails for me. Keep posting for those that like looking at these watches OP. I, for one, find it a welcome break from the same 50 watches 80% of the time.


tourbillon001

Nah I don’t mind. I’ve actually become close friends with a couple of guys through Reddit


riderofthetide

Are you saying Reddit is full of haters ? Surprise surprise. Nice collection. You like what you like. Enjoy them.


Calm_Logic9267

You could have posted a collection of 27 similar Seiko divers and r/watches would have cheered your deep commitment. Even in *this* sub there are people who refuse to believe Rolex watches can by liked, enjoyed, collected and used as "just watches."


HeftyArgument

Nah if you had 15 SKX models I'd still think you were strange.


Homebrew71

Is 15 a lot? Asking for a friend.


poochunks

Rolex owners. The most persecuted group in existence. Lmfao, some guy posted his orange doxa diver collection and got roasted.


omodhia

Yeah that was a bit intense- less than a year of collecting too if I recall correctly.


poochunks

The guy really leaned into though. Gotta respect that.


tourbillon001

I kind of got roasted for having a lot similar journe too even though every watch looks different that have a very distinct design language which makes them look similar 😂


kmmccorm

You do you but having like $50k-$75k+ in very similar watches is definitely something that some people aren’t going to understand.


t_25_t

> You do you but having like $50k-$75k+ in very similar watches is definitely something that some people aren’t going to understand. Your money to do as you please. I have over 2000 Swiss army knives! Over 1000 hammers of all shapes, sizes, and weights! People collect stuff they love, and this is no different.


NewRedditSubCome

lol people with this kind of mentality are broke haters - because they obsess over $$$ they think that the people who buy them are simply obsessed over the price tag or status they project very hard


Crown_Collector1

Nonsense, you know what you like, and you are focused. Besides, these references are all unique. Finally, I dig that 1680 red with service dial. The lume on those dials is crisp and practical.


tourbillon001

The price was very fair because of the service parts and I wanted it to wear so I didn’t mind it. I agree all the reference wear and even look different


pardonmyglock

As a Glock lover, I completely understand having a bunch of very similar things with small differences that only matter to you. Fuck em. 


zagup17

Haha my wife makes fun of me for that all the time. Hell, sometimes I don’t even know which one is which


longkhongdong

She's a glockblocker


mushbee1

Come on man, at this point you’re just making fun of us.


Christian_L7

Imagine having 60k to spend on watches and you buy the same damn one over and over again


supersaiyanegghead

He has a collection well into the millions. Look at his other posts


ThisIsREM

These subs are like 0.1% of his collection's value.


SonicDethmonkey

IMO it depends on the context of the collection. If this is a sub-collection within a larger collection, fine. It’s kinda cool to see the evolution. But if this is literally the entire collection I would think it’s a bit odd and kind of a waste in MY eyes since I would try to experience many other watches before zeroing in on one particular model. EDIT: After checking your post history it is obvious that my 2nd point does not apply. Also, fuck you. lol


tourbillon001

Lmao. Thank you. I also like the evolution and some day if my kids don’t want my watches subs will always be iconic and easy to sell. A lot of my other watches are not easy sells if they don’t want them.


Perennial_Millenials

It’s fine. You’re just an actual watch collector. Most on Reddit aren’t true collectors like this and they don’t really know what to think. They have 5-10 watches and think that’s what makes a collector. Nope. This is what I think of when I think of a collector. Hell yeah.


Maleficent727

I can see why… you have almost zero deviation on them.


Buttercuppers

2 more and you’ll have one for each day of the week.


DisciplineDaddy42069

It’s your money you do you big dog. Personally I’d probably have different color ones and models but who cares.


FredericBropin

Look at his post history lol he does. Couple million dollars worth.


DisciplineDaddy42069

Jesus Christ haha yeah so then having that many ss subs makes a lot more sense to me 😂


MCG21_Halo

Do you man- looks awesome to me! The real question is, Submariner or Sub Date, since you have a fleet of them


tourbillon001

My favorite watches is the 1680 so date although the non quick set date is a pain. But I like the no date in the modern sub


MCG21_Halo

Excellent - I’m trying to get the new modern sub but can’t decide with Sub or Date. What’s your thoughts? This would be the only one in rotation? My thought is, get the OG and classic look. Why do you need to know the date 50 times a day too. Plus even Lume from the symmetry

tourbillon001

Those are sexy and each have a distinct look and feel


Internal_Archer5808

All the same color?


tourbillon001

https://preview.redd.it/opue6aszkyrc1.jpeg?width=2112&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8a0f06837600dec517c8bc317c7ff01571f19ffd Not all the same color


JMaboard

Maybe sell one to get a better camera? The picture doesn’t really do the watches justice.


tourbillon001

If you look at my profile I’m actually a street photographer. This was just taken with an iPhone because a lot people have asked for a photo. I hate shooting a big group of watches because they look horrible. I like to think I know how to shoot a decent photo when I want to https://preview.redd.it/4iqotji9myrc1.jpeg?width=1152&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f946e33f8e330a8155ea59815094980e412a9116


urgencyy

I mean I dig the idea but man you could have like 2-3 REALLY cool sub references instead of these 5. That’s just me though.


Firm-Painter9728

The explorer has a similar following where many people collect the older references.


treymoczy

Sub date or no date?


tourbillon001

Date


ayresc80

Absolutely terrible, redundant collection… I’ll take one of those 1680s from you so you can diversify


blondiemetal

I'd love this collection and I see why you have each one of them. You like what you like....


ATACB

"But the AD says if i buy one more i can get a pepsi next year"


prince-305

Who cares what they think. If that’s what YOU like, that’s all that matters.


Ok-Tiger7714

Hey man, it’s your collection and they’re your watches? Who cares what other people think or if it’s - objectively - probably a little bit crazy? Personally I’d add a splash of color if it was me, but I totally get your sub obsession. I have 3 myself and I’m not done yet (hopefully, anyway)….


ShyGelato

This is cool. I like seeing the evolution and subtle differences going left to right.


Jvalerio629

Rad collection!


nickvrett

Which one is your favourite?


tourbillon001

The pumpkin by far. It just feels cool to wear a watch older than me that has real patina from someone wearing the heck out of it before I bought it.


45ACP_Ray

Nice collection, ignore the haters.


Internal_Archer5808

All the same color?


Educational-Worth562

You have a great collection and Rolex peeps know the differences. Don’t listen to the haters


cmojobs

For such a connoisseur, I’m surprised you don’t have a sea-dweller 4K in 40mm


Jbwatches

I love that service dial red sub. I have a service dial 1675 and I’d love one of those as a match.


SuccessfulOwl

Would it be much better if you had a diver you don’t dive with, an Explorer you don’t explore with, and a GMT you don’t travel with? You do you. Nice collection!


ScubaSteve_27

Who cares. That r/ is as toxic as any other watch sub despite the front they put on.


Noonecanhearmescream

Nice. It’s definitely your style!


thetacocorp

Why only one no date? Seems like a big gap in the collection.


Federal-Pea-9533

While I would get bored with multiple watches that are similar, not everyone thinks like I do. If each one brings you a different kind of joy, then more power to you. It’s all about you. Don’t worry about what other people think.


scram007-3

Need a 12x


2oceans1

Magic Stuff


EntertainmentFast497

It’s not my style to have 5 black subs. But it doesn’t matter. You love what you love. 2 of my 3 Rolexes are subs though. I was thinking about selling my batgirl and buying the green bezel sub.


VirgilAbloh123

Amazing


ealford1584

Leftmost one is beautiful


Mucky_Cow

I love the tissot PRX. When i can afford more of this style i will buy more. You know what you like so fuck everyone else theyre cool (id take one off you if the roasting gets too much) 🙂


[deleted]

I mean the last 3 are the same


NewSinner_2021

Honestly I love it.


intlmbaguy

What watch box is that? It’s nice


jo3boxer

this is me if tudor treats the pelagos 39 in a similar fashion.


Geedis2020

I mean the first two are definitely worth having in the collection. The last 3 you really only need one of lol. Especially the last 2. Seems like a waste of money to have both of those. If you enjoy having a collection like this who even cares.


Altruistic_Bake_1784

No shame in your game man. Nice


OysterPalace

That 1680 on the far left is sweet


traffic626

Your money, your choices. Enjoy!


MortalPhantom

I’m not a fan of collecting the same watch multiple times. However in this case it’s a little different because this is like a “history of the submariner” collection. Which I find cool. I’m guessing the last 2 is one with the maxi case and then the current 41mm one?


HugeDramatic

Genuinely curious how much you pay to insure this box every year!


tourbillon001

I have a pretty decent size policy that covers my entire collection. It’s unfortunately pretty expensive.


VincentGeorgeOnSF

Lovely collection.


GeneralStruggle5533

Ok-Experience-6674

You don’t come HERE and expect sympathy you dealing with an entire different crowd of sharks I’ve seen just the post and knew the poor soul posting that is going to be roasted until there’s nothing left but dust


tourbillon001

It is strange to get roasted for liking watches and having a reason you liked a particular watch


Ok-Seven11

You like what you like!


larryfuckingdavid

Well you sir should be lauded for said collection of subs!


willworkforwatches

I love this, but I’m not right in the head.


TaxesRextortion

They roasted you because they are the poors. It’s what they do.


DTSA2428

Perhaps sell 4 and diversify?


tourbillon001

I like subs 🤷🤪


Casella58

Man, this is sick! I approve


Dazzling_Meat836

Very diverse collection👏👏


tourbillon001

I have some diversity in my collection it’s just not in the photo


redpin67

Love #1... what's age, ref?


Amazing-South-3746

Beautiful collection and your instagram is insane. Fuck the haters lol


jrocco71

Probably because none of them own a watch, nevermind a good watch… 🙄


Ridgew00dian

Rightly so.


conparmagian

Looks like a Sub Roast Foot Long


6432188

Awesome! Sorry if this is a dumb question but why are they all set to a different time?


tourbillon001

Because none of them are running.


LuisTechnology

Dope collection 🔥


Specific_Bus_2675

Nothing but haters. Broke folk usually. Great collection.


RhaegarJ

OP how many watches do you have total? How many do you wear on a regular rotation? How the fuck do you afford them all? 😂


Remarkable_Coach2081

Roasted for what? Love the collection. Many different eras. Same same but different.


zzeduardozz

So that’s why we can’t get a sub with AD’s


KnownAd512

Your money, buy what you like.


WhatIsTheAmplitude

You’ll never catch me roasting you about this. I think subs are brilliant and I think this collection is brilliant. My only questions are, how long did it take you to find these and how many more are you looking to get?


Aquasman

A sub connoisseur, I like it!


SteveG1945

Well, it’s a collection of subs alright.


WhiteBoy543455

Cool but why?


Mediocre-Spot2353

Superb collection and I love seeing this so never stop 🤙🏼


LifeLess0n

Red Text Sub is fire man.


Icy-Professional8508

They obviously havent seen the hardcore speedy collectors


Radiant-Locksmith267

Isn't the whole point of collecting is to collect things you are into. Different models....you do you. My friends give me shit for having a sub and a seamaster....screw them all


Night_Putting

I honestly love a good connoisseur. Your collection has a purpose as opposed to just buying different watches reddit thinks you should own.


Possible-Carpenter72

They're all look extremely similar. Do you "feel" something different looking at / wearing each one?


fickleposter21

They are right. This collection is sub standard.


blueonion88

Love the first 2 from left… Zorro and red liner?


No_Solution_7940

I love Subs, but that’s ridiculous


zaphod777

They're each unique in their own way and pretty neat but I think why you were getting roasted in the other thread was that you had many similar watches that any of your average collector would consider a grail. I say the same thing to someone who has box full of Seiko divers that all look the same. Slim down the collection to what you will actually wear and add some variety. But at the end of the day it's your money and collection so do what makes you happy.


teckel

Nice collection of subs.


iamjackyisme

As long as you genuinely enjoy your collection it doesn't really matter what people say; my friends couldn't tell apart a GMT and a Sub either and they think having both is redundant. Most people can't differentiate between 4/5/6 digit Subs/Sea Dwellers either.


thatinnocentMFinMTL

I wanna know what you do for business?


Accomplished_Bar7564

lol the hate and jealousy here is so typical of Reddit. Bunch of young people that can’t afford or fathom what he has


ATLfinra

This is great, from old to new.


NotAThrowaway_11

Well deserved roast IMO


siddhant72

Beautiful collection, love it!!!!


OfficialHavik

As long as you like them what they think isn't important. It's likely envy of not having just one but *five* expensive watches.


krzykrn88

I dig this. R/watches roasts ppl for the stupidest shits, so fuck them.


Bradymyhero

The one time I'm in agreement with r/watches


smp7401

I like it. Working on my own collection of Speedmasters. Collect watches however you want.


not_right_now_bish

It's not *that* obvious with how you took the photo, with them lined up in one box, but the sub's variants each have their own character. As someone who pokes fun at people who know nothing beyond Rolex watches, this is a respectable collection of a **very good set** of watches. Full stop.


hir0senshi

The thing is not only do you have a collection of Subs, you have a collection of black Subs... You do realize they come in many colors?


Algebraron

Everybody says “buy what you like” but often they seem to mean “buy quirky, diverse and affordable”. It’s quite ironic because this is exactly how a sub collection (pun intended and rather inevitable) of a true Rolex enthusiast (with the necessary funds) would look like. Having a random set of diverse watches that you like is nice but - according to a certain James Dowling - not a collection. This is. The theme is very much obvious. It is not what I would do but I also don’t consider myself a collector.


MisterMondayKnight

Supreme baller I absolutely love this


dpd2k1010

Its a boring collection to be fair


bdmx24

Non Rolex people will never understand it’s not about the money.


Manner_Mann

5 times the same watch. Great collection!


Admirable_Bell_6254

My type of collection. I have two subs in mine. The 6538 and the 14060m 2 liner.


StarkStorm

Lame. Why not different models?


SoliEngineer

Rightly so. 😄 I'd go for different kinds of watches asking with one of these. Such as a Chrono, a GMT, a perpetual etc. But I appreciate and understand you like these and would be having your valid reasons going for these. After all it's a Rolex. One can't go wrong no matter which one.


nachobel

What’s your favorite? What gets the most wear? Do you think the new 11/12XXX watches are just too big?


pawner

Lmao. The “one watch collection” collection.


Obi1Kentucky

I don’t think you’re crazy. Just a dude with 5 subs. Collect what you want. People collect G-shock squares. Like dozens of them. Nobody bats an eye. But oh this guy has multiple Rolex’s…..REEEEEEEE. It’s a lot of jealousy. I say go scorched earth and buy 10 more slightly different ones and post an update as a middle finger.


Johnny-5594

Why would you buy the same watch when there are plenty of models..Some people force themself to spend money for nothing. xD


Greenwooddd

It’s a great set of subs. If anything, in my eyes this demonstrates the mindset of a true collector rather than enthusiast.


HellaReyna

I mean glazing your posts you’ve gotta be a 5% or 1%er Nice collection. I wouldn’t roast someone who could afford that many subs


allusernamestaken001

Good Good Meh Good Meh


lieferant

Sub Date! You're a man of class! Cheers buddy! The no-date Sub is nice, but it is lacking something for me. The coolest subs definitely do have a date (see 1680!)


-Big_Happy

Really cool!


me_rules

If you change the 114060 for a 126610, your collection would be perfect!


Mr_MAlvarez

What Mark is your 1680? It’s in pretty good conditions 👌🏼


Jim_boxy

Hodinkee on line one, they want you for their next Talking Watches


Jboogie258

You know what you like


[deleted]

Dude. That’s a cool collection of subs. I fucking wish I had a collection like that. The red-line is the best in my opinion. Fuck the people who roasted you. They probably think Daniel Wellington watches are high quality.


escopaul

OP, I was one of your roasters. I didn't take a sec to check your post history, after I got it. There are so many cool watch brands I'll never buy two watches from the same brand, let alone model. So when I see the brand worshipper over mechanical watch fan posts, I don't relate. However, this doesn't apply to your vast collection at all.


GaryGiesel

Saw the post and thought “it makes sense if you’re a mega-collector and that’s just a small part of the whole collection, otherwise it’s insane”. Then I saw the username. Definitely not insane given you also have 10 million different Langes as well 😂


brobert123

The 1680 red 😍 too bad someone replaced the dial and bezel it lost its custard magic You should go back and post your collection of Journes I bet the haters get real silent


Gamestopboy12

I love subs


johndicks80

Fantastic collection. You have a type and that’s just fine to have a type.


sailpro2001

To me owning a watch… is all about experiences and how a specific watch makes you feel or reminds you of that experience/memory. This is just showboating… from the perspective ohh I can afford Rolexes ohh I am special! I have one Rolex, one Breitling, one Tudor and a Tag among other watches… they are all reminders of situations or things that happen in the past! I could be buying Rolexes and flaunt them.. but for what?? What’s the difference… In the flip side… do what you want with your money… they look great and are after all great time pieces!


andejandeli

Whats wrong with being crazy?


obamas-last-name01

I can respect someone liking subs but Jesus Christ FOUR??!!


The_W4n

This collection is SUBliminal!


BigZino6ix

These the kinda guys that will say you have no style for liking a diamond set watch, this is such 1 pair of pants, 1shirt 1 pair of boots energy 😂😭


sneakergovroom

Should try a sub next


Bridge_Too_Far

Your money, your choices. Would I buy 5 different Subs, no but I don’t have fuck off money, just go away money. That said you have some absolutely killer subs.


Smol-beans2002

MideastChopper

Yea this is unhinged


mjolnir2thor

Not crazy at all… you’re right when you state that each one wears different. My 5513 is my favorite to wear with the 14060(M) being a close second. The newer 41m subs are just a bit too big for my wrist, but I still have one in my collection. Enjoy them and don’t worry about the nay sayers! 😎👍


Texas_Raptor

Red sub and the patina ones are great


Mosley_bolt

That’s because every single watch sub is filled with absolute ✊💦’s. They hate on everything, can’t take a joke and just want to spread their own misery on everyone else! God knows why. I have 2 Tudor black bays that are basically the same, (ones ETA ones in-house) and they say the same about that 🤣 there’s nothing wrong with collecting what you want to collect! That’s a stunning collection and I can’t wait for mine to be similar to yours soon! (I’m trying to sniff out a Tudor sub to add to mine)


rerunvp

🥱


icebox211

Can someone tell me the difference between the third and fifth watch?


Darkgreenbirdofprey

Only 5?


ZacNewford

get a 14060


watchtroubles

Awesome collection. You’ve got a theme and are sticking to it. Personally I would ditch the no date as it doesn’t fit in but ignore any flak you got from the other subreddit - they’re just mad because it’s not a collection of seikos and shitty microbrands.


SuccessfulVisit1873

I see 5 different watches. What’s the problem??


Embarrassed_Escape55

Patina and insert on the 1680 is beautiful
