Being a new Turn-O-Graph owner, I will have to put my vote in for it. Dressy enough to wear with a suit, sporty looking with the white dial and red accents, timing bezel, so you can even dive with it. The Submariner was an offshoot of the Turn-O-Graph line.

I like my Sub LV because it looks classy with my suit and you can wear it doing anything, this thing is a tank!

For your question, The DJ, especially in SS. My personal favorite - the SS GMT Master IIc.

If i had to pick just one, it would be the Explorer. Dresses up and down, less complication without a date, very robust, not too blingy. If a date was needed, then an SS DJ for the same reasons.

Either a SS Sub, though not a fan of the black, or a SS or TT DJ. Oh crap, I picked 2!

I think the TT Sub with the Silver/Slate Serti dial is a nice all around watch.

Maybe a pre-ceramic GMT because you can change the bezels for different looks. So if you only have one Rolex, you can change things up a little when you get bored.

The current SS GMT-Master IIc. Conservative appearance, yet very elegant, and has the utility/tool factor, so one can play with the 24-hour hand (setting different time-zones), rotate the bezel, all during a boring meeting, wedding reception or similar yawn.

Lovely watch but not for a lawyer who meets with clients having troubles, making less than him, and now having to pay his hourly. He needs to be more sensitive than that to his client base. Given that he is in suits and tuxedos, and wants to stay with Rolex, I would suggest a TT Datejust (Classic or II ) white dial, stick markers with a crocodile strap and the bracelet to change into for sports endeavors and water sports. One watch, all uses. Not offensive, not a poor man's watch, and not "wrong" for formal wear. The best of all worlds if you can only have one.

I went with a gold Omega Aqua Terra 39.2 on strap for formal, and will likely go back to a TT GMT II C for general use, but that's two watches, and doesn't meet the parameters of the question.

Er..... no. Really, no.

He needs to wear his Patek, or Day-Date, drive his Porsche, and dress in Armani or Brioni to meet his clients.

What client wants to go to a poor lawyer? Just my $0.02.
