great choice! combines the strength and lifetime reliability of a tool watch whilst the yellow gold gives it the dress watch appearance.

Rolex would be WG SubC. Any watch would be AP ROO Chrono 44mm in RG.

Plain and simple... The 1655 simply because I currently do not own it and hands down must have been the most controversial non precious metal Rolex ever produced.
