I am a CPA and meet with clients all the time... especially new prospective clients so I'm always conscience of my appearance. I want to look good but I worry about looking too flashy. I wear suits or sports coats most of the time and jeans,khakis or shorts on the weekends.
My first nice watch was my TT Datejust with a light colored face which I got in my early 30s and for me was a great do everything watch. I am in my late 40s now and have added a Sub Date 16610 and a Breitling Super Ocean Chrono to my old faithful TT Datejust. The TT Datejust looks great with a suit or my tux and the other two carry our the non suit days. My suggestion is a Datejust. Either a TT with a white face and roman numerals or a SS Datejust again with a white face and roman numerals. Vince |

Despite getting rid of my 2007 SD for a Daytona, I think the Sea-Dweller is an outstanding all-rounder....miss it, despite loving my Daytona :)

For me it would have to be between the SD or Sub LV, but since I have got to make a choice it would have to be the Sub LV.. the green bezel adds that touch of understated class to an already versatile watch.

If I knew I would only get one shot, I might do the DJ II Black stick dial. It has size, sporty look and has a great feel. Otherwise the classic Sub/Date

Probably a SS Sub or SS GMT IIC.

Er.....well, I'll be a contrarian, I suppose, but my all-around Rolex (if I only had one) would be the YG Day-Date. It not only goes with everything, it says everything.

Sea-Dweller for all the reasons you mentioned, PLUS it's at it's best underwater. RS

Lots of good choices here. 16600 for me, but plenty of other Rolex references will do the trick.

For me, it would be a Sub Date in SS or GMT Master II in SS.

I have always stuck with Submariners and GMTs. You can't go wrong with these for any occasion, but then you can't go wrong with a DJ either.

A simple Air-King with either a silver or black dial at 35mm, an Explorer I at 36mm, or a simple Perpetual Oyster at 36mm would be my choice. I find that my Milgauss - with matte black dial and clear sapphire crystal - is very versatile as well.
Cheers, Carl

For sentimental reasons, I would use my Grandfather's and then my Fathers for 47 years, dress 6150 Explorer. Otherwise, I also have a 1980's vintage Date, which my mother gave me. This would be my second choice. As I said, for sentimental reasons.

I would go with the pepsi GMT. That's what I wear every day (as well as a G-Shock
Riseman).

One Rolex - I'm assuming I can't have any of my other watches, so I just have to choose literally one for all purposes. Hmm...probably a sub date. Which is interesting since of the Rolexes I want, a Sub Date isn't high on the list (I think my Omega Seamaster is awesome!).
