[noshake]

GMT>Sub, still waiting on my Daytona.

[GoingPlaces]

Daytona is always king, followed by GMT.

This!

Leaving resale out of the equation it is the Pepsi on Jubilee. I own it and both of the SS Daytona's and the Pepsi does it for me.

[Calatrava r]

What happened to the Submariner? No date just perfect in every way.

[JPS]

I think the Pepsi is the best modern Rolex so even though I have no he panda & the black ceramic Daytona, I’m going with the Pepsi.

[Pop Art Suzy]

Definitely the Daytona. I love that watch!

[HogwldFLTR]

Daytona followed by the Sub for me.

[brucethemanlee]

From the 3 in the poll? Daytona for me

The LV wouldn’t even rank in my top three ….maybe 6 if lucky but probably 7th

To my eyes from your photo, I would go LV first, Daytona second and Pepsi far off my list. I tried one on recently at my ad, I just don’t get the hype. Like the BLNR so much better. But appreciate the history.

[alphadweller]

The SD43 ticks my boxes.

[Beto737]

Daytona is better looking. But, the Pepsi is “almost” as good looking, only far more useful. Therefore, it gets the vote.

[Agamemnon]

100% Daytona! You'll see, you'll like it.

[SLWoodster]

Not sure why there needs to be a battle.

Just buy them all, like these guys.

If sure is! It would be boring if we all like the exact same watch.

[Dmcnill]

For sure Pepsi on jubilee for me, very comfortable on the wrist.
welcome to the forum.

[wjv4200]

White dial Daytona because it took me 6 years to get one from an ad.

[SS Oyster]

1. Daytona SS (white or black)
2. SkyD SS (blue)
3. Submariner LV

LV sub would be my choice. The sub is the Rolex reference that is the most Rolex the LV bezel just makes it pop.

I’m not sure if I really wanted to even bring this up but here we are lol.

You need to post a ‘How To…’ and it can go in the stickies section.

It was only a couple of weeks ago you got a white Explorer II, your first Rolex after “about a week of waiting after visiting 4 AD’s”.

Next there was an incident that resulted in an offer for you to take your pick of any other Rolex.

This is smooth work

BTW, as you have no interest in resale the best watch is the one that you like the best. They are all equally unnecessary. No point asking others for help.

[kaiserphoenix]

I think if its a daily wear do anything, then Starbucks for me which I own and it gets alot of wrist time. However if I can only keep one, Ill take the Daytona as its the hardest to get at retail of the 3.

[danwang0520]

One more left on my list; still saving up for the Daytona:




Current collection: 1) Rolex Submariner(116610LV), 2) Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional(311.30.42.30.01.006), 3) Rolex GMT-Master II(126710BLNR), 4) Breitling B01 Navitimer 43(AB0138211B1A1)

[Jean Farren]

The GMT - the Daytona has no date and wears a bit small

[yesnaya]

I voted pepsi. Its my favorite in my small collection.

I like the colors, I like the jubilee bracelet, I like the functions (gmt), everything about it.

Daytona runs a little small, has no date, and the chronograph is useless because of the screwdown pushers. But its really nice to look at.

The sub is nice. But I dont need the extra WR, green is not my color, and if i'm grilling steaks I honestly prefer using my iphone.

[Blanch]

Pepsi

[AlabamaLawyer1988]

GMT is hard to beat. 126710BLRO wins in my opinion.
