I would go for number 1 and say that I would take the 16610.

I cant do number 2 because I would probably get in trouble.

I cant do number 3 because I dont think I can drive a car at an insanely high speed without freaking out.

And I cant do numbers 2 and 3 because Im not really interested in owning Omega.

I'll take #2 because by the time I'm done, the expences would add up to more than several SS rolex's. Plus, it's the best choice. #1 is my 2nd choice, and I have no interest in #3

You said a brand new Rolex SS, but you did not say it had to be one of the current models. So, I'd have to figure out which is the most rare and expensive SS model ever made by Rolex, excluding a Daytona, and ask for that.

The other options would no doubt be fun, but the bext part of the experience in the other options is an experience that is realtively very very short (10 laps!? most of us couldn't even get an F1 car going fast enough to get the tires warm and up to pressure in 10 laps! <insert suitable analogy for the trip to the hotel> ).

The Rolex on the other hand would be yours for a lifetime.

I would have to go with #2. I figure I could become her "manager" and make enough to buy the Rolex.

Well, I'm married and I'm sure my wife wouldn't like the idea to share me with somebody else. (I understand her, I'm good looking! ) I don't want spend a day with a man, no matter who he is. So, my choice is a brand new SS Rolex.

I would try to stretch #2 to with:

2a.) "What happens at the Hilton, stays at the Hilton" and make the week disapear in the eyes of others... well, umm, one other.

2b.) The Omega would be the Omega Seamaster NZL32 which I would promptly flip for a GMT Master II ceramic SS.

Not much question for me:

-I'm happily married (17 years on Saturday ).

-I have no desire to drive faster than I feel comfortable driving the car at.

-I already have an Omega and one is enough.

***And I have a real hankering for a GMTIIC.***
