If you could pick "ANY" rolex model and have it free of charge - which one would it be ?

Spark · 10 June 2007, 07:43 AM

White Gold Daydate with president bracelet and white MOP roman dial.
Just because I could.

Trini · 10 June 2007, 07:46 AM

exactly the one I'd pull the trigger on.

What does that dial look like ?

President · 10 June 2007, 07:46 AM

Plat DD.

kieran · 10 June 2007, 07:49 AM

two tone daytona,might buy one next year a beautiful watch

Welshwatchman · 10 June 2007, 07:50 AM

Thanks, Santa. When will it arrive?

mike · 10 June 2007, 07:57 AM

I'm really new to the whole Rolex thing, in fact, I don't even own one yet! But, I have to ask what is so special about this rolex you have chosen. I like the looks of it!

montecristo · 10 June 2007, 08:19 AM

Thats a nice pam-am GMT pic!

I want the original milgauss.

It's an original GMT built especially for Pan Am execs. The white dial makes it as rare as hen's teeth. The going price on one of those would probably run more than my wife's Lexus LS460.

Rubenonfire · 10 June 2007, 09:03 AM

Gotta be the 6541 Milgauss.
Though if those are fresh out I'll take a 1655 Explorer-II.

Rockrolex · 10 June 2007, 09:04 AM

WG meteorite Daytona on a black leather strap.

pennydanny · 10 June 2007, 09:14 AM

Milgauss for me please

Dan

Woody,

There's several great write ups on the history of the GMT, here's a pretty good one noting the rarity of the white 6542.

http://www.ukwatches.com/Notes/rfgmt.htm

These watches rarely turn up for sale, rather they are traded privately. At somewhere around 150 known examples it's one of the rarest of references.
If and when one exchanges hands with no issues, it's said to be in six figures.

And I'm pretty sure you know EXACTLY where ALL 150 of them are, Mike!!

diablojota · 10 June 2007, 09:47 AM

Platinum DD with meteorite dial.

sub2004 · 10 June 2007, 10:00 AM

I already have my "dream" rolex BUT the next dream rolex on wish list would be Welshwatchman's gold ingot GMT II.

Mate i love that watch

JJ Irani · 10 June 2007, 11:27 AM

Probably this one....

roadcarver · 10 June 2007, 11:36 AM

I'm beginning to fall in love with this vintage... the 1680!

It is a very pretty watch. Be careful with it, because I bet the dial is irreplaceable. Where can you find another dial like that?

Flyjet601 · 10 June 2007, 02:56 PM

Well my choice(s)

Modern one.....New TT GMT II Anniv.
Vintage one....5512 or 5513

I got one out of 2.....

Blue Bull · 10 June 2007, 04:50 PM

I think it will have to be a DD.President bracelet.It has to be in YG.Champagne or white dial,with romans or diamonds.Diamonds on the bezel,perhaps.Diamonds,carefully incorporated in the design,so as to look classy,since its a fine line to tacky ..... Yep,something in that direction,would be the grail

Wont buy it,though,because its too expensive and not practical at all,but it would be one of those things that "will be nice to own"
