Although unplanned and "it just happened that way", I ended up with a AirKing (116900), an Explorer (214270) and a Sea Dweller (116600).

If you folks had to start over, what would be your perfect 3 Rolex watch collection?

I'm thinking....

Explorer or Explorer 2
Dive Watch ( Sub or SD)
Daytona

What do you think?

Chadridv · 12 May 2018, 01:28 AM

Well to be fair I traded my black dial daytona for a white dial, but this is close enough...

Chiboy · 12 May 2018, 01:28 AM

Platinum Daytona
WG or RG olive dial Day-Date
Smurf Sub

Lemieux66 · 12 May 2018, 01:29 AM

I can never decide these sort of questions. I know I'd have a Day-Date 118238, but other than that I'm not sure. I've never had a Daytona and have never been keen on them but I'd like to try one to see if I change my mind. I'd also like a Submariner Date again, perhaps a 116613LB.

Lol. I assumed this was, “If you could walk into a fully stocked AD, and grab three different watches, which ones would you take?”

psv · 12 May 2018, 01:41 AM

THere is no such thing as a perfect anything... ;-)

Exactly! That's the question!

I with you there on 2 of them (own a 16710 and Hulk), but instead of a Daytona, I'm looking to pickup a YG DD40. Then I'm done...I think.

VicLeChic · 12 May 2018, 01:50 AM

YM 116622, SD43 126600, SS Pepsi 126710 BLRO

Krash · 12 May 2018, 01:54 AM

1) Subc 114060
2) Day Date, YG, Black Dial, 40MM, President
3) Daytona Ceramic white dial

mementomori1983 · 12 May 2018, 01:56 AM

Been fine-tuning my collection for some time and this is what I ended up with:

14060m 4-line, 16710, 14000m

superdog · 12 May 2018, 01:56 AM

I have the perfect collection.

Explorer 2 polar
GMT BLNR
DJ41 Silver, Smooth, Jubilee

Really, it’s hard to beat that. I might add the new Pepsi if I can get my hands on one.

strettyend · 12 May 2018, 02:03 AM

DD/Daytona/Sub ND

2nastie · 12 May 2018, 02:06 AM

1. Explorer / Datejust / Day-Date
2. Sub / GMT
3. Daytona

I think any 1 + 2 + 3 is a good trio. Where is "upgrade" is the metal the watch is made of.

SlowhandBuzz · 12 May 2018, 02:20 AM

5 digit lv sub
white Daytona
blue, fluted, jubilee DJ

azs.77 · 12 May 2018, 02:24 AM

BLNR, LvC, DaytonaC White

and a subC date

droptopman · 12 May 2018, 02:25 AM

Like my trio now: 16570 Polar, 116613LB, 114060 but have done the land, sea air thing in the past: 1675 BLRO, 5513, 16520 which was a nice set. I will probably add the 216710 BLRO at some point and drop one of the Subs.

Nikrnic · 12 May 2018, 02:26 AM

My current three although I'm trading my black milgauss for some color (Z- Blue) coming soon.

SubC
Gold daydate, black dial
WG daytona

rolexpatek363 · 12 May 2018, 02:31 AM

1. Day-Date 36mm, platinum w/ ice-blue dial (118206)
2. Submariner (5513)
3. Oyster Perpetual 36/39mm any colour (except Rhodium!)

Enough to give the essence of the brand: top of the range, middle and bottom, and they all look different from each other.

T01 · 12 May 2018, 02:31 AM

GMT, Daytona, Sub.

dkg1616 · 12 May 2018, 02:45 AM
