If could only have one Rolex?
If you could only own one Rolex, what would it be?

I know...sort of like picking a favorite child, but an interesting question none the less. Please indulge yet another one of my marketing questions.

Probably sub C. Just so versatile and sturdy. Best.

Could be either. I've got 3 that I love, but for me, I really think the 16610LV just strikes a special cord with me...and I don't even have one yet

If I could only have 1 Rolex it would be the white dial Milgauss which I wear every day, well until the pin fell out today from the clasp anyway! If I could only have 1 watch however, it would undoubtedly be a Patek.

Beautiful examples everyone!

Strictly for sentimental reasons it's my 16200... This timepiece will be with me until my last days on this earth!

I have to ask Sam, if you take sentimental reasons out of the equation which one would you choose ? I'm guessing your YG GMT or your Explorer II based on the ones I see you wear the most
