Here's an original idea for a Rolex thread!

I hope.

Ok, we have had threads where we ask "If you could only keep one Rolex which would it be?"

How about each poster post pics of your Rolex or list the ones that you currently own. Then other posters or at least the next poster state which Rolex of the ones pictured or posted would you keep if you were the owner.

So. I'll start things off. My collection right now. Which ONE of these would you keep if they were yours and why?

First up my SS Black Dial Daytona. T serial number.


Next up my Blue Dial Air King with engine turned bezel. Z serial number.


Followed by my SS GMT II C. M serial number.


and then my SS White Dial Daytona. Z serial number.


and finally my Green Submariner. Z serial number.

White Daytona but only because it's expensive and I like white dials.

I like the white Daytona one best, only because there is less contrast on the face itself compared to the black one. The black one would be my second choice...

Probably the GMT C, as it covers all of the basic functions I would actually use. Nice collections btw, I'm still a 1 Rolex man....for the time being.

Kansai: Sub LV and I would get a black bezel to change every now and then.

jeangtd: Explorer II

Martin: Sub

I can see why you guys are having this dilemma. I wouldn't want to choose one out of all of them. It's like having to choose to save one child out of a burning house.

I'd keep the GMT IIc. By far the best watch that Rolex produces today - I don't buy into the Daytona hype, so they wouldn't feature in my collection :)
