I have only 2 Rolex, a SubC and the SD43, The choice will be the SD43 because is stronger and more new than the SubC.

No surprise here...



But maybe one here...



But in truth I'd likely bring my small collection as a whole.

This is no surprise either...

I'd take my badass SD43 so I could spark out anyone who tries to steal my toilet roll.

Casio protrek titanium tough solar. Rolex wont be any use in times of apocalypse.

No watch makers, fragile and please dont saymy deepsea is tougher than anythink.

Lets see it hit to a rock. Casio is one hell of a watch. İ wore it in the army in warzones in mountins every where.

Would have to choose my Pelagos over my Datejust41.

Light weight, great adjustments on bracelet, incredible lume, 70 hr power reserve, rotatable bezel would be useful, and the date!

I would also bring my spring bar tool so that I could occasionally switch out the bracelet for the rubber strap!

116500LN-B followed by the 126711CHNR.

And lots of cash, to buy some really nice watches I would find in said wilderness

Okay, well it would have to be on an oyster bracelet for strength. It would need to be brushed rather than polished links for resilience so that limits me to just two. Submariner and Explorer 2. If I can take two then these would be the two. Order of preference, Sub first and Explorer second .

Though it's not my favourite, it's the most robust mechanical I own...so it'd be the Bluesy.

But I'd probably grab the rest for barter fodder too

I love the SMP300! I’ve had a few over the years and I am currently looking for a blue dial one with the wave pattern.

I'd have to go with my Batman, the current favorite at the moment.

Hopefully will need to search out tools to remove a link or two. Starting to get tight, all we've done in quarantine so far is cook! Maybe running for the hills will reverse the trend.

If it had to be a Rolex, it would be my Explorer 1.


But if I get to choose from my entire modest collection, it would have to be the Rangeman. Way more functional, practical, and durable.

Maybe a Red Sea-Dweller for Red DawnBut mainly because the bezel can be used as buzz saw for firewood

3 months? You’d be mad not to take a quartz then. Too much danger of the power reserve running down otherwise...
