I already have 1999 Exolorer 2 polar holes case



I think I really might be done with Rolex SS ;)



My mind has wandered to

Patek 5167

AP 15450

Or perhaps (just tried on) AP ROC 38mm in blue or grey ;)

Yes...love them all. And if I could only have 3, I'd go with the BLRO, Black Dial Daytona, and SD4K. That is the perfect SS trio for me.

The new 38mm ROC look great. I'd go Patek 5164 over the 5167...the GMT function on the 5164 is simply awesome!

- Daytona 116500 (white)
- Daytona 116500 (black)
- GMT Master II - 116710 BLNR (Batman)
- Sea-Dweller 116600 SD4K

After acquiring the 126710 BLRO (Pepsi) at Christmas, I feel I might be done with Rolex. At this point, I think I am just going to sit back, chill, and enjoy my timepieces.

Famous last words right?

You don't have a collection until you have the SD43!

thanks!

"popular" or not, these are watches I like and wear.

To be hones the SD4K was NOT popular when I purchased it. It was a dog because everyone wanted either a cheaper Sub or larger Deepsea. But i loved the SD4K. It only become popular because it was discontinued

Personally I’d go with white Daytona

As so many have said, just the hardest to get pieces. Hard to believe the AD treats you so nicely where you have no PM. I would get a strap watch to round out that collection. Not from Rolex though. Perhaps a Lange or Patek manual wind chrono would fit nicely in white gold.
