One watch Pick one!

Which would you pick for a daily?

I'm still trying to be a one watch guy and now have sold off the collection so ready to pick!

Pam 240
Rolex DJII 116300 silver sticks
Tudor Black Bay
Omega PO 8500 42mm orange bezel
Omega PO 2500 42mm orange bezel

I was going to add a breitling but won't bother as the navitimer is too busy for daily wear

If I was going to be a one watch guy the versatility of the Black Bay with its various straps would be the winner for me!

Out of those I'd go PO 2500. It fits in at work and at play. You don't have to worry about scratching PCLs (as with the DJ), fretting if it is too oversized for the occasion (as with the Panerai), fitting it under the cuff because its too thick (as with the PO 8500), or missing a date function when you look at your wrist (as with the Blackbay).

Out of the list that you provided I would go DJ2.

Just curious would you consider a subc or gmt2c as a daily? I think either of those hold great resale and would perfect in that one watch situation.

1 rolex option + TRF members = only one possible outcome.

Love the orange bezel and my most preferred of your options but maybe tricky as a daily.

I honestly do not like any of the choices.

I voted 42 PO 8500 but I would get it in the grey which is absolutely beautiful in my eyes

I try not to be honest with these, and avoid choosing the Rolex since it's a Rolex forum (and you'll be getting a lot of those biased votes) but in this case, the Rolex is the nicest looking watch listed! haha

Good luck!
