What if You Could Only Own One Rolex?

What if you could only own one Rolex...only one forever, which would it be?

My choice would be Sub C

This. It's super versatile, and there are a plethora of dial options I could use to give the watch a fresh look.

Interesting question. I only have 2, and I surprised myself when I came to my conclusion. I assumed it would be my GMT II Pepsi, because it was my first and the one I always wanted since I was a teenager. However after becoming obsessed with watches over the past year, I would have to say if I could only have one it would have to be my TT Sub.

If I could have only one, any one, for life, then it would have to be a mint 6538.


Failing that, the most practical choice for me would be a 16600, like the one I already have.


I'm a man of simple tastes...

Hey DP, that's cheating. One watch only. Excellent choice.

Realistically within my budget? Explorer I, everything else to me is great and a luxury to own, but I'd say my Explorer I is a must have.

Money no object? Platinum DD. It's platinum and not as flashy as a YG model. Ice blue dial is lovely, too.
