Assume that it is part of a collection, but your only Rolex...

GMTc LN - not among the choices but checks all the boxes for me if I can only have one modern Rolex.

for me it was very tough between a BLRO and a white Daytona. I felt like the BLRO (hoping the WG version) would be more useful daily for me.

From those options, BLRO.

But I actually prefer my olive green OP as only Rolex for daily wear.

If you could only EVER have one - nothing beats a regular black Sub with Date.

THAT goes with everything and can do anything. If your a 1 watch man this is the only watch I would ever buy.

None of the options, I'd go with any SkyD first.
Annual calendar, GMT, fluted bezel, cyclops, hefty, good water depth rating, it ticks all the boxes and oozes Rolex

If I leave the current internet hype and lack of availability behind I have always been a fan of the Submariner-C ND. It would be my one and only.
