Good choice, mine is the 14060m, which is why I chose it as my 1st Rolex.

Similar concept though!

It would have to be SS, WG, or Plat so it doesn't draw attention. I'd probably go with a sports watch as I'm in casual dress much more often than dress - I'm thinking the 216570 black dial!

Hmm... one watch to wear for the rest of my life? As John put it, a "Desert Island" watch for me would probably be a SubC purely for ruggedness and the date which should help keep track of months and years!

In any other case, I would probably stick with my YG Daytona, it's just awesome!

A watch that I've owned, or something that is unobtainable? See my avatar.

If we're talking all watches, it would be the AP 15300. (I'd post a photo, but I don't have one- the photo or the watch).

If we're talking Rolex, the the GMT IIC (which I do have).

Actually I'm wearing it- 16600.

Having just one is almost as impossible for me as keeping a car for more than 3 years tho.

So many beautiful Rolexes. Love the 14060M and the classic 16610 but if I had to pick two, it would be either the 16600 Sea Dweller or the 16610LV Anniversary model.

If I had to pick one, very tough. Sea Dweller, LV, Sea Dweller, LV ... Sea Dweller. Love the chunky SD with its slightly smaller dial and beefier bezel. But also love the LV's fat hands and green insert.

Damn it, Kevin. Now you're making me rethink my answer.





Obviously I'm no good at this exercise.
