Sell every Rolex but one?
For all of you multi Rolex owners, if you were forced (for non-financial reasons) to relinquish all of your Rolex watches but one, which one would you keep? The one that you keep must currently be in your collection and would become your daily wear.

I would be the guy to get chopped, fall in the pit, blown away, or what have you because I couldn't decide.

The only non-financial reason I can think of is the end of the world...so it wouldn't matter at that point.

I don't like this thread. Thank the lord this is only hypothetical. I couldn't just have just one. That being said, 116613 black dial would be the one. Begrudgingly.

That is tough, but I guess it would be my Explorer. It gets most of the wrist time as it is.

The 116718. I've been tempted to trade it a couple of times and went as far as taking out the box to send but then I put it on and this shinny light came from my wrist and said to me "you fool! Let me go and you will live the rest of your life languishing with regret". So I put the box back in the closet.

Wow that's a tuff one. I really only wear my TT DJ for formal occasions like weddings. So that one even though I swore I would never let it go would probably go. As for My Sub & Explorer I guess if I to pick one it would be my Explorer. I love that watch it's dressy & sporty.

I don't have one, but if I had to have only one Rolex I'd sell off the whole lot and get a GMTIIC. it has everything I love all in one package. |

I don't own any yet but for me I'd always choose the most sentimental one over the most prestigious one.
