Which Rolex will you be wearing for the end of days?

Yup..what is the well dressed Rolex WIS to wear on 12-21-2012 at 1111 hrs GMT????

I have narrowed it down to my DD 18238 or my Sub 16610. The DD if I think it's really going to all end ( ) or the Sub for the adventure of surviving in a post apocalyptic world!

I guess I will be standing by with both at 1110 hrs on 12-21-2012 and have to make my best guess then.

wear whatever the non-viable masses around you aren't able to use anymore... if your the last one standing you could probably stroll into any AD and use it as you personal watch storage center...

kind of like Burgess Meredith in the twilight zone...
then ... didn't work out as planned (check it out, apocalypse with time as a back drop.)

Yes as many have pointed out, it's extremely unlikely, however it is a significant "horological" moment in time/history. Given our collective "WISdom", it's a moment in time to celebrate our watches and the passing of time itself.

Believe it or not this question has been asked before.

If this comes to pass, I will be wearing whatever watch I happen to be wearing that day, as I'll be just as disoriented on that day as I am on most days anyway.

I'll be wearing the gold DD I pick up for a few bags of rice and a gallon of gas on the 20th.
