I thought it would be interesting to gather some opinions. If you had a max budget of 25K and wanted to get 2 new Rolex's, which model's with which dials would you choose?

porschejeff · 12 January 2013, 05:30 AM

Daytona and DJ (assuming you're not buying one for you and one for a spouse)

beshannon · 12 January 2013, 05:31 AM

Daytona and GMTIIc

Shikar · 12 January 2013, 05:32 AM

I would get a SS white Daytona and either one of Subc or GMT2c.
With the money left over I would get a used Sea Dweller.

Regards.

marnii · 12 January 2013, 05:33 AM

Tt gmt,ss sub c

AK797 · 12 January 2013, 05:33 AM

Daytona and TT GMTC.

tkc324 · 12 January 2013, 05:38 AM

Daytona and GMT2C.... but i am biased...

1Zach1 · 12 January 2013, 05:39 AM

Explorer II black, GMT-C if I had to go brand new. If I could get another it would be a SeaDweller.

Speeder757 · 12 January 2013, 05:44 AM

Lots of love for the GMTII and Daytona. I presume you guys would go with a White Faced Daytona to offset the Black GMT?

floater156 · 12 January 2013, 05:52 AM

$25k is an awkward number for 2 new Rolex watches; therefore, I refuse to answer!!!

Jeffin · 12 January 2013, 06:02 AM

SS Sub c LV and DJII blue stick dial flutted bezel, and I would still have 5K left.

The GMT Master · 12 January 2013, 06:06 AM

SS GMT IIc, and a Cellini for the days when that wasn't dressy enough.

Armyguy03 · 12 January 2013, 06:07 AM

Daytona and SubCLV

Tuna44 · 12 January 2013, 06:08 AM

White faced SS Daytona and a TT Sub c.

kilyung · 12 January 2013, 06:09 AM

I'd be happy with just one precious metal sports model.

That is the exact combination I would get.

Rocco22 · 12 January 2013, 06:22 AM

Sub hulk and white daytona

mjclark32 · 12 January 2013, 06:24 AM

One precious metal sub/gmt
Or if I have to have two, sub and white explorer 42mm

Jsan20 · 12 January 2013, 06:25 AM

Ym 2 sub c LV or sub n/d

GregoryZ · 12 January 2013, 06:30 AM

Don't buy new, buy preowned! Find a couple of nice watches with boxes, papers, etc., and invest the 10k you saved into another investment. I've bought a mint double-quickset President and a vintage Root Beer GMT Master, both for 10k!

MitchCut1 · 12 January 2013, 06:41 AM

Daytona and a YM with the blue dial :D

Puffy · 12 January 2013, 06:42 AM

Daytona and Milgauss GV or Daytona and DJII

stevedssd · 12 January 2013, 06:51 AM

Great question by the OP and fortunately it said 25k but not the currency, so for me its pounds sterling. For that I would get a white gold Daytona and a non-date sub. Obviously I would have purchased both through trusted sellers and managed to get within budget!

68camaro · 12 January 2013, 06:59 AM

used Sub date and used YG DayDate....or maybe used Daytona used DJ w/Bezel, or wait...how about used Daytona and used YM blue (amazing), wwooo how about used sub no date and used WG daytona........or how about....the choices can go on and on and on...

If I could include non-Rolex for $25k....used Daytona (9500) used PP 3119g (9800) and with 5,700 left over for used sub w/ date.....now thats living......

However, this is subject to change as tough decision it is).

Sometimes too much money is too difficult.

Trouble15 · 12 January 2013, 07:30 AM

DJ & Sub-C LV aka the Hulk.
