...on the following TWO conditions.....

1. You may NEVER sell it - it's yours for life.

2. Has to be brand new only...no making demands for any vintage piece.

Any NEW Rolex of your choice....yours to keep forever. Choose once, but choose well, guys!! Which one? And this time I shall answer my own question (Daren, please note!)

I'd take this one....having seen it for real at Mansor's only recently!!

It's the only other Rolex I'd ever want. Nothing else in their line-up interests me enough to want one. But it's beautiful. Understated bling and all white metals. Slap a new D clasp on it and it's perfection.

Agreed!!

The other day David (Mansor) was wearing it and I just couldn't take my eyes off it....very stunning indeed!!

That's it... the TTYM is toast... making way for the only white metal, non-chrono JJ hasn't owned yet. Should I reserve a 'for sale' spot down below, again?

Gold Submariner with blue face.

Launch Mini · 7 April 2006, 08:44 AM

First, it would have to be a wealthy woman.....
But it would be the White Gold Daytona.
One reason, this is one I would not buy myself, and I do like it.
Did anyone see "Two and a half Men", where Alan was given the platinum Rolex from the Old Lady Next Door?

Prince · 7 April 2006, 09:06 AM

Solid YG DD with champagne dial. Done!!!

betrezra · 7 April 2006, 09:10 AM

I Would Definately Pick The Day Date Platinum Masterpiece With Medeorite Dial and 3 carat Diamond Bezel

Yes, saw that...and was a bit surprised how blatantly the Rolex was shown in a superb close-up!!

GerardoG · 7 April 2006, 09:45 AM

A 2T Jubilee Datejust or a DayDate (118238), they are classic and not flashy. So you get a diamond Rolex (or something like the leopard Daytona) and you would wear it.....WHEN???

High-Gear · 7 April 2006, 10:46 AM

JJ,

You had me worried when you said two conditions. I had flashbacks to the movie Kingpin, where they spoof Indecent Proposal. Makes me shudder! Since its not a dirty old man giving you the Rolex, I'd be torn between the Plat YM, and blue face TT Sub. I haven't seen any of the exotics like the meteorite dial, but it sounds very cool.

C.J. · 7 April 2006, 11:25 AM

Platinum DD, meteorite dial, NO diamonds

kingblackbolt · 7 April 2006, 12:09 PM

It would have to be something understated... soemthing that would not stand out in a crowd... subtle yet classic... something like a...

Men's Rolex Platinum Meteorite Diamond MasterPiece

dman · 7 April 2006, 12:18 PM

Well first of all, the guy would be really stupid!! Not to give me a watch, but to actually believe that it is 100% safe that it would not be flipped.

tough question though. Maybe a YG Sub black dial, maybe a PLT DD with ice dial and romans, maybe a YG Daytona white dial or maybe a YG DD with white dial and romans. Hell I don't have a clue.

I feel lucky enough to have the YM and Pannies that I own, I won't hold my breath waiting for a sugar daddy.

Tom · 7 April 2006, 04:01 PM

I think I'd go with a white gold presidential. model 118239. Nice watch, don't know if it would wear well, but hey it's a great looking watch.

padi56 · 7 April 2006, 06:07 PM

Well for me nothing in the current Rolex range really excites me,though have a liking for the new GMT but in TT or S.S.But would love a vintage Prince from the 30s-40s,please
ask your rich friend if thats possible PLEASE JJ..

Uncle-AJ · 7 April 2006, 07:03 PM

I'd tell him to sod off. I'm not having some rich dude forcing me to accept conditions I don't want to. Who does he think he is anyway?

I'd rather buy my own.

Adrian, have you seen anyone for this problem? Have you lost all sense of unreality? You need help, my friend.

What a MAN!!!

And of course, you do realise that having made that remark, even the remotest of chances you ever had of making it on the tosser list, have now gone all out the window!!

See what a fantastically generous Company we work for: my sentiments exactly when we can afford anything we want, courtesy of our annual bonuses

How do you think I afford my new jewel encrusted GMT?

Adrian, it is axiomatic that everyone can be bought. It's merely a matter of determining your price point. Some people come cheap. The rest of us just have higher prices.
