Subs. I love the simplicity of 114060 and the YG/Blue is beautiful.

I’m probably in the minority, but 118209 with oyster bracelet and smooth bezel. For a dd, it’s very unique. And a very reasonable second-hand price. I’m hoping it will be my next purchase! Photos curtesy of TopNotch Watch

That's a tough one. Without having ever held or tried on the new Daytona, I'd have to go with the Submariner followed closely by the GMT II (BLNR specifically). Based solely on what I'm lusting for, I would probably go with the new Daytona (either dial color but leaning white) slightly over the Sub.

I’m torn between the BLNR and the 40mm Polar Explorer II. The BLNR is considered the “better” watch, I guess, but the white face on the Explorer II makes it distinct from my other watches and thus a temptation, although I’d have to get it used of course, 42mm is too big for me.

Based on looks only when tried on my wrist , up until BW2017 it was the Yacht-Master platinum dial. Now it's the Sea-Dweller 50 Anniversary.

Based on pictures, the Day-Date Rose Gold olive green dial looks stunning but I don't know if it would look good on me, could be too flashy for my taste, unsure if I could pull that off and if it matches my personality.

But really, I also like the YG sub, the YG DD40 with silver dial, the YG Sub-c, the Exp I, TT Sub-c with blue dial, the RG Daytona, the RG 36mm DD with black MOP and diamond hour markers... unfortunately the list goes on...

The simple and humble Oyster Perpetual 34. I have two, but this one with the classic silver dial is not only my favorite Rolex, but my favorite watch of all time so far:



This might become my favorite later in the year. When I first saw a pic of this model, I thought that it is the most beautiful watch I have ever seen:

Day-Date 40, Everose Gold, Olive Green dial. I also love the applied, gold Roman Numerals and, of course, the President bracelet is a work of art:

114300, don’t have one, but love it. It is pure Rolex, understated, functional, simple, and yet, not another black watch like the also great 214270 or the 114060. It’s all the watch anyone will ever need.

Really like my 116710 and 216570 as well.

Some great examples of some fine watches on this thread ,but for me my favourite is currently the LV . But I would struggle to choose any of these over each other .
