Your one and only ???

Many members on the forum here seem to have numerous Rolex watches. So for those of you with "just" one model, which one is it ???

I think it looks great on that NATO strap, but still prefer the SS bracelet.

TT DJ, ref. 16013, originally purchased by me in February 1987 and refurbished (including new hands, dial and bracelet) in November 2009. It's still my one and only Rolex . . . and the love affair continues.

I know that the straps are very popular, but it looks like a $5,000 watch on a $20 strap to me. I like the Oyster and Jubilee bracelets.

Your white Exp II on the nato strap looks pretty cool Jon! That was my first, and only, Rolex for many many years. It's still a big fave of mine!

This one. Almost flipped it for a GMT-IIc, but I just couldn't do it... it's just too classic. The GMT will have to come later as an addition.
