My go anywhere watch is a SeaDweller, so I'd go with the Sub...

AMCK87 · 27 June 2012, 09:46 PM

This is DD territory. Enjoy your vacation!

Roley · 27 June 2012, 09:55 PM

If the dinner is formal, etiquette would be a black leather band. And for the travel part, I would take a stainless steel GMT.

wowie74 · 27 June 2012, 10:02 PM

I go with the Sub!!

Rags · 27 June 2012, 11:51 PM

Day-Date & your Sub and you're good to go..

Gaijin · 28 June 2012, 12:06 AM

Dd.

azguy · 28 June 2012, 12:09 AM

You have to ask

16610 the most perfect "all occasion" watch ever produced, from the open seas to a black tie event, always perfect IMHO.

mjclark32 · 28 June 2012, 12:24 AM

I vote for the dd, and I'm a sub guy.
Have a great time!

McLovin · 28 June 2012, 12:35 AM

The problem is that this place is going to probably be one of the largest" natural gatherings" of Rolex Submariners seen "in the wild" in the world this year and MANY are going to be vintage 5513 and 1680 with Americas Cup engravings on the back.....wearing my 16610 is going to be a bit anti-climatic as a fashion statement not to mention I'm wearing a sub "without" AC engraving.its kinda like wearing a medal open did not earn in this crowd....

Couple other facts:

In fact Rolex USA has donated a 14060 for the last four AC hall of fame dinners as a "raffle prize"....

A number of "billionaires" attending, including Ted Turner and whom I know, will be wearing SS Rolex "AC" subs as well....while I have done well in life I am no billionaire. I'm not sure how comfortable I will be talking to Ted and Larry Ellison wearing a DD on my wrist.

For all you TRF YachtMaster and YMII owners, I will try and do a casual count of how many, IF ANY, I see this weekend...

A.J.R. · 28 June 2012, 12:44 AM

Another vote for the DD

Psmith · 28 June 2012, 12:46 AM

Sounds like a Yacht-Master is required... but looking at your choices, I would pick the DD as the 'event' watch

sea-dweller · 28 June 2012, 12:50 AM

I usually travel with a GMT and a G Shock or GMT and my Explorer 1.

I will be surprised if there are many yachtmaster's in this crowd but as I said above, I will report back.

On yeah.. Typically LOTS of free Rolex swag being given away that I intend to load up on this time.!!

drockadam · 28 June 2012, 12:55 AM

16610 or the faded Pepsi!

sirjohnbrian · 28 June 2012, 12:55 AM

IMHO, make a statement by not making a statement. The SS Sub goes anywhere and you will not be out of place wearing it. If you wear the DD, you will look out of place in the water.

s.justinlee · 28 June 2012, 12:58 AM

beautiful collection!
i think the president would be appropriate for all occasions mentioned, imho

Based on this, I would go with the faded Pepsi with the great patina dial

landroverking · 28 June 2012, 01:34 AM

One of the sport TTs.

Soly20 · 28 June 2012, 01:58 AM

I'd say the TT GMT Oyster. It suits all occasions plus it does not make you look like a pretender between billionaires.

GradyPhilpott · 28 June 2012, 02:10 AM

What, no Cellini?

Wear the DD.

floater156 · 28 June 2012, 02:11 AM

DD gets my vote.

Paladin · 28 June 2012, 02:30 AM

Well so far the general consensus is there is no consensus....please keep the opinions and examinations coming. I am leaning towards the DD or one of the TT GMT's at the moment (jubilee or oyster??)

Jubilee

tkerrmd · 28 June 2012, 02:49 AM

If I had that collection the YG DD would get most of the wrist time so I vote DD

Rockrolex · 28 June 2012, 02:58 AM

Since you're coming from the Left Coast, and would prefer to take only one, I would go with the all black SS GMT-II. In addition to that being my favorite watch, it will go with jeans, black tie, and everything in-between. If you want a back up, I would go with the YG DD. It's not as usual as a Sub and also (as will any of your timepieces0 go with anything you wear.

Why would you feel uncomfortable wearing a YG DD? There's no reason to feel uncomfortable wearing any Rolex (or other high end watch), especially in the company.

Wear what you want and don't worry about what others might think.

That is actually a GMT 16700 and it is my daily wear/beater watch. As such, I really do want to wear one of my other watches....

You are correct about its versatility as I wear it everywhere with everything daily.
