For me, it would be a Sub Date in SS or GMT Master II in SS.

I have always stuck with Submariners and GMTs. You can't go wrong with these for any occasion, but then you can't go wrong with a DJ either.

For sentimental reasons, I would use my Grandfather's and then my Fathers for 47 years, dress 6150 Explorer. Otherwise, I also have a 1980's vintage Date, which my mother gave me. This would be my second choice. As I said, for sentimental reasons.

Sentimental reasons or no, this is the perfect choice. And a beautiful, beautiful watch. Can we see more pictures?

I would go with the pepsi GMT. That's what I wear every day (as well as a G-Shock

Riseman).

For the day in day out , brush clearing , Marlin catching , Wynn poker table, night on the town with the wife, little league, and your daughters wedding with the mathing gold vest and cumberbun, a TT BLUESY SUB!!

What a hard question?
So many Rolex models are stunning in my opinion....

My favs are :

SS/WG/TT Daytona
SD
SDDS
GMT 2 models
Yachtmaster SS Plat
Submariner Date
SS Datejust, Jubilee bracelet, 18ct white gold fluted bezel
Explorer 2 White face

Glad to see so many of these mentioned on this thread....so hard to pick an ultimate favourite :)

I don't recall seeing anyone write that they would take the Polar Exp II. This is somewhat surprising considering how often it is stated on here that it's so versatile, rugged, understated, etc.

Great replies so far. Keep em coming.

One watch for all occasions, some of those occasions being black tie, would be the Datejust, jubilee band, fluted bezel. Either stainless or combo.

I take it off for certain activities, like working on airplane engines or washing the car. I wonder about riding my motorcycle with it on, if I got hurt, would I ever get it back or would it get stolen by the ambulance or emergency room crew? But pretty much, it goes with me everywhere.
