For me, it's the Submariner, specifically the 14060M.

I love watches and am fortunate to own several, fine watches. I enjoy the luxury of variety...and appreciate features such as a second time zone, or a date complication, or a chronograph. I'm glad to own watches with such virtues.

In terms of The One...the one watch that realistically satisfies my watch needs across a range of activities, the Sub is it. The essence of this watch is its rugged, reliable and timeless design. It is simple, no frills, but for the rotating bezel. It is as tough as I ever need it to be and as elegant as I ever need it to be.

It has history behind it, too, and a long proven track record.

Simply stated, it is a most satisfying watch to own.

I won't be selling my others anytime soon, but this Sub is a lifetime watch for me.

Nice

Jack T · 1 November 2013, 05:32 AM

...but not necessarily The Only !

kcmo · 1 November 2013, 05:32 AM

Well done.

'The One' for me is the Daytona....just does it for me all around!

cop414 · 1 November 2013, 05:37 AM

Very well said Sir...

nice Sub.

No million $$ question: Two liner vs four liner??

Mine is last of its kind, four liner random serial

I get the sentiment but I have a difficult time with horological monogamy.

Racerdj · 1 November 2013, 07:34 AM

There should be a Sub club here! Very popular

Jack T · 1 November 2013, 08:19 AM

I know how you feel. When I picked up my 14060, never realized what a following it has, I just liked it. While it may not be my Only One, it is definitely a Special One. Cheers!

cop414 · 1 November 2013, 08:24 AM

4 liner as posted above, but would have been more than happy with a two liner. I do believe that the 4 line will be more scarce as time goes on.

superdog · 1 November 2013, 08:42 AM

That's an amazing watch. Glad you found your one.

superdog · 1 November 2013, 08:45 AM

My "one". Classic design, with updated features. Tough, classy and even a bit sporty.

Kyle3130 · 1 November 2013, 08:57 AM

I love my "only"

1William · 1 November 2013, 09:12 AM

Great watch. An icon in my opinion.

BNA/LION · 1 November 2013, 09:17 AM

Nice "One"

The 4 liner is more appealing to me. Congratz!

Well, just because I have found The One doesn't mean I don't keep time with others!

DCgator · 1 November 2013, 10:14 AM

Afraid I'm still too far from having "the one" watch at this point. I love GMT models and have a few. Suspect that when I get to that point of anointing a particular watch "the one", it will likely be a GMT. Alternatively, it could also be my DSSD as I still get excited and love wearing it on a leather strap....and in the interim it is the one.

Laszlo · 1 November 2013, 10:19 AM

Agree.

viper9669 · 1 November 2013, 10:23 AM

Classic 14060, imo the cleanest looking sub from Rolex!

datejusting · 1 November 2013, 10:25 AM

I understand how you feel about the sub. I feel the same about the datejust.

Rags · 1 November 2013, 10:34 AM

I would love a 14060M. The dial is so clean looking..

Mauiguy · 1 November 2013, 10:39 AM

Beautiful watch and well said!
