Icon5 If you could have one Rolex which would it be?

Can't sell it, have to wear it, which would you choose?

My 16220. I have worn it every day for 16 years except for a minimal amount of days when I wore my Tag 1000.

If it is a watch to wear then its the ones i own, if its vintage & too precious, it would take some of the fun out of it for me.

If it was the only watch I can have I would get the Explorer I. It is a great watch, comfortable and fits my lifestyle.

This is a tough choice. I love my YG Daytona but I also love the SS SubC.
I guess if I was going to go for just one, perhaps combine them and go for YG SubC?

216570. My other option would be a 116718, but I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing all gold in some scenarios. So the ExpII wins it for me!

I'd need five minutes in Steelerfan65's watch drawer, maybe ten to pick, it sure would be hard.
If not I'd settle for the Sub in white gold blue dial, aka the Smurf.

14060 - not as pretty as a 5513, but more practical for everyday use, and last of the great Subs.
