Hypothetical challenge:

if you had to choose one model, only one (like Daytona, Sub, Explorer, Sea-Dweller, Speedmaster, etc...) and you could only buy and collect that model in all its references, colors and variations, which one would it be?

It’s unrealistic but i think it’s a challenge that forces you to think really deep about what you like from a collectability, type and complication point of view!

Give it your best shot!

Sea Dweller
So many unique references and great history. Everything from COMEX to DSSD

GMT all the way. I travel a lot, and work for an international company, so the complication is useful. I also know that the water resistance is perfect for my purposes (my BLNR has been snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef and my CHNR is often on after dinner dishes duty). Not a difficult decision at all.

Sub

GolfJunkie · 28 March 2021, 01:05 PM

Submariners without a close second for me.

jitdc · 28 March 2021, 01:10 PM

Daytona for me. Huge variety in case material, dial colors, and bands/bracelets.

42itus · 28 March 2021, 01:20 PM

Daytona would be my choice. Love the different dial options, oysterflex, and SS to platinum.

this + 1 love the daytona in all varieties. hopefully one day I can get my hands on one at retail

Seddyspaghetti · 28 March 2021, 01:20 PM

Tough but probably Daytona

RyanJ · 28 March 2021, 01:21 PM

Not really that weird of a question for this site. Many here basically have all variations of the same watch already..

I am pretty simple. I would have an Explorer 1 and Explorer 2. All bases covered.

This. If it were not the SD it would be the Explorer I and Explorer II. As you said you can wow in a suit, travel and even go snorkeling (gently maybe diving) with the more recent one.

daytona

Roli4life · 28 March 2021, 01:32 PM

Daytona, followed by Subs.

brandrea · 28 March 2021, 01:33 PM

Submariners ... longest running professional model, and archetype of dive watches.

DESH · 28 March 2021, 01:43 PM

SKY- Dweller Blue.

Brny11 · 28 March 2021, 01:58 PM

Tough.

Love that the DJ has multiple sizes, dials, bracelets, etc.

sub is a great option as well with colored bezels and vintage to modern, it be fun to flip through or collect all variants.

Daytona would be my winner though with endless combos through the years.

The vast majority of responses here are symptomatic of the overall sports watch frenzy.

Thor95 · 28 March 2021, 02:15 PM

GMT by far.

Krash · 28 March 2021, 02:15 PM

Submariner, no doubt.

MiDoon · 28 March 2021, 02:22 PM

Sea-Dweller. Hands down.

Pimpsy · 28 March 2021, 02:26 PM

Daytona. Many, many diverse looking variations.
Then Sub.
Then GMT.
