Icon20 Perfect 3 SS Rolex Watch Collection

I know a similar thread is out there.. But this one is a little different.

What would be your perfect 3 watch collection only being able to choose from Stainless Steel Rolex Watches...

Mine would be:

1. White Dial Daytona

2. SubC LV

3. BLNR

What would yours be?

I'm going to 2nd this, even though neither of the two I own are on this list. Would make for a well balanced, diverse line up full of icons.

My perfect trio is the following:

Exp II Polar
BLNR
Sub LVc

I bought these as my first 3 rolex as they were the 3 best for me, however, that does not mean that I have stopped. The list of needed Rolex increases by the day. There is also couple of Tudor's in their too which I am looking to get.

I could easily put the 216570 in there somehow though.

- Exp 1 (214270) - Got it, and it's easily my favourite. Perfect for every occassion.
- Exp 2 (16570) - Can't decide which dial I prefer, hence why I have them both. Comfortable, beautifully proportioned, and not very common.
- BLNR - One day... :-)

I've got a Tudor Ranger on it's way, but somehow I don't think it'd make the cut for the top 3.
