I am seeking opinions on the best Rolex Stainless Steel Sports watch trio.

I currently have a 1969 pepsi and a 1976 Submariner, help me decide on a third vintage Rolex that will close out the sport's model collection..., Then I can move on to dress watches:

-41mm or smaller...
-$6,000 dollars (US) maximum

sea-dweller · 1 May 2013, 01:36 PM

Sub Date, GMT and Explorer 1

Kobayashi · 1 May 2013, 01:46 PM

14060
16710 Pepsi
16570 Polar

This is what I have. Will try to post a picture later.

$6000 max is tough. The best watch to round out that trio would've been a vintage Daytona with a black bezel.

bonbonson · 1 May 2013, 01:57 PM

an explorer 2 would have sealed the deal but price is too high so i think the best would be an 1016 explorer. not only is it a sport model but it is dressy enough to be used as a dress watch in my opinion

Runnin' Rebel · 1 May 2013, 02:33 PM

That's a killer GMT in that picture Alan

Tudor66 · 1 May 2013, 02:45 PM

Thanks, it my current favorite watch...

versatile1 · 1 May 2013, 02:54 PM

Explorer 2 white dial since you already have 2 black dials

Fredrik · 1 May 2013, 05:45 PM

Well, I am sort of in the same boat, I have:

1680
1675

Logically, from there, you have to go:

1665
1655

Unfortunately, you then need:

1625
1600

To complete the sports and sporty dress watch 16-hundred series watches.

Vincent65 · 1 May 2013, 05:55 PM

Limited by 6k - maybe a nice DJ?

Andad · 1 May 2013, 06:05 PM

I would try a bit of green, blue or a SeaDweller but whatever you do don't start wearing dresses Alan.

AWS · 1 May 2013, 09:11 PM

5513 on the vintage side.

melons · 1 May 2013, 09:14 PM

A nice Explorer 2 (16550) would round it out.

Michael M. · 2 May 2013, 01:00 AM

I think the best trio would be a 1655, 1665, and a 6263, but you said under $6,000. So maybe a 1016 Explorer or if you want another Submariner maybe a nice 5513 Matte?

I'd like one of those too, but it's about 2X the OP's max spending limit!

As a couple of previous posters said, I also suggest a nice 1016. My gilt one cost me quite a bit less than 6K, but now (3 years later) they seem to go for more.

Non-gilt would fit neatly within the price range:

wahasa · 2 May 2013, 05:11 AM

5513

roh123 · 2 May 2013, 05:18 AM

I was thinking chrono but at 6k it will be tough. Why not a 1016 as previouly mentioned?

Here's my fav ss sports trio.

Oeps didn't read that part...
Add this 5513 then !

Dsaltydog · 2 May 2013, 09:58 AM

Um, no way under 6K for a trio, but:

@ Roh123: very nice
