Milsub, or the trusty old 5513.

Every day I wake up and wonder why I don't trade my SD up for a 5513.

Favorite Vintage Rolex my 6263, but still looking for a 1930s-40s Rolex Prince doctor style dial, pref S.Steel or silver, but if price was right would except a TT.

Hey Ocha, if you want 5513, you can PM Tempoking (Anastasios), he can help you and find one what you're looking for. Trust me, he's a nice Guy.

Double Red SD is the watch I would fight a bear for. No weapons.

I'm lucky enough to have a matte dial 5513 and now I really want 1665 Sea Dweller, double-red if possible but not essential. I am thinking of selling my 16520 Zenith Daytona to buy one.

The 1675 GMT simply because it was my first Rolex. I still miss the red hand, black bezel, thinner profile and acrylic crystal. Wore it daily for 20 yrs or so and it was like a part of me.

Not on the list but mine would be a 6206 Turn-O-Graph circa mid 50's. I don't know how rare they are but I do know they cost more than I can afford.

1675 for me - would love to own a good example but prices are heading out of my reach - still a great watch and I always enjoy seeing pictures of some of those owned by fellow members of the forum

No category for this one: Tudor (I think?) Oyster with that cool Art Deco California Dial.
