Any era? Probably a 1019. If we’re talking new, not much of a fan, so I guess maybe the newest Air King. That’s a pretty weird watch for Rolex.

That would be great. The 1019 might seem odd to some people as a #1 choice, but, even though I’m relatively steeped in Rolex history and love a multitude of old models, I know myself, and I always come back to wanting a relatively simple, black dial watch with a plain bezel. Of course, the Milgauss history is also very cool.

Probably that platinum ice blue Daytona but without the diamond indices, just the regular dial which I find sportier and generally more appealing.

My last choice would be the all black GMT Master II, which basically looks like a Sub but isn't one.

Me too. I'm happy with my Sub. There isn't really anything out there in the Rolex catalog that excites me more than that.

Going outside Rolex and money no object, probably an Aquanaut. I'm pretty boring.

Quite happy with this one. Frankly if I could only own one Rolex I'd be pretty happy with anyone.

I think OP is referring to watches you don't already own? I would have chosen my Daytona 116500 but I don't think that's the game here

Unfortunately, there's no other I'd prefer. So I'm stuck with this one.
