*Ultimate Rolex Duo*

What is your ultimate Rolex duo (your favorite 2 Rolex watches (whether currently owned or not) - the two rolex watches that you would pick up to get you through life)??

This a twist on Bofon13's Ultimate Trio thread which I really enjoyed (http://www.rolexforums.com/showthrea...=ultimate+trio).

Here are my two. These two would have me covered in almost all situations.

funny you mention it. This is what I thought a couple years back and my collection certainly went in a different direction. The sub for all day everyday and the DD for dressier I presume is what you're thinking. Best

My first two Rolex watches are the Datejust and the SubC, both in SS.
TT comes after that, then YG!

Have to agree those two are gorgeous pieces. I would very much like to own a DDII one of these good days.

Yes. This would be a nice versatile combo. though I find the sub a little too common to be an "ultimate" watch.

If I could have two, it would be a Black Sub C and a WG Sky Dweller. Now where do I find the cash?
