The GMT 16710 is the one I'd keep. Though in all seriousness I don't even need that. Or a watch at all for that matter, or a house or even clothes. Infact I think snails have the right idea.

If I could only have one as much as it would kill me to give up my DJ that would go for my submariner..

Exactly, its by a country mile the smart move.

If they were all valued the same then the sub.

You ask two questions -

Answer 1: Have what you can afford and enjoy them
Answer 2: Always the one I wear the most

Could certainly be a one watch guy if you never visited this website, but, sorry i fear it may be too late for you. :)

The real answer is I'll keep them all, but honestly the Submariner 14060M is the most versatile Rolex I own.

I can't see the poll (using my phone) but if the sky sky dweller is there I would go with that. My 2nd option would be a GMT.

I don't have one watch, but I have one Rolex. I often wonder about getting another one. I usually struggle with, "could that money be better used elsewhere?" After recently buying a house there are certain things that need to be done before I can pull the trigger on another one.

1st question - I can live with just one watch.
2nd question - If I have all those watches and can only keep one, I'd keep the iconic Submariner!

I needed to split my vote. 50% Sub and 50% Daytona. There is a lot of love for Subs here.

Just the thought of having only one, makes me very uneasy..
God forbid, I'd have to sell my collection off.....
I'm guessing, the one I'd keep, would be the one that didn't sell fast enough.
