Which PM vs which SS? Seems a rather generic statement.

I’ve been rocking the 16600 lately. Too much field work in dire environments lately, and the divers extension has been useful.

That's a very tough watch Abdullah, even if it is made of lowly stainless steel.

I haven't taken the Pepsi off since I got it last month, but as we move forward into 2019 it's going to eventually be a split between these two.

It’s my GMT. Only watch I own, and I wear for everything... travel, golfing, cycling, sleeping, showering, running, gym. Never take the thing off, although I did to take this picture. Probably the first time in weeks.

My BLNR. I’ve now had it for 3 years. I wear my Date for special occasions and have 42mm Omega PO as my backup. The BLNR just works for me. I rarely take it off. It’s the best money I’ve ever spent on a watch.

Most of the time, I rotate between a Seamaster, BLNR, and G-Shock. I don't really have a daily wearer. Except that for work, sometimes I need to wear the G-Shock because I need the 4 audible alarms and digital timer.

Mostly it's the G-Shock for things like garage work, yard work, landscaping, carpentry, theme parks, etc.

To the OP, love your Air King. Has a beautiful vintage appeal. As for me I am in the infant stages of collecting but even as I progress it's hard for me to imagine a time where my 214270 won't be my daily. Its versatility is unmatched.

The bracelet on this is even more comfortable than some of my other watches that are on straps. Goes with anything and can easily dress up or down. Plus the classic look and proportions of the royal oak are amazing. This is the 37mm, too.

My day date 18238 yellow gold, fluted bezel, champagne dial because it's been my dream watch for 10 years and I just picked it up yesterday.

Bought a 1999 A serial and honestly still kind of skeptical/scared if it's real or not!

It's a little louder than my 1999 datejust when I hold it up to my ear, is that normal?!

You are a man of class and style, Colin.

Mine is my 114060, because to me it is the perfect watch.

For the near term I'll be wearing this almost exclusively!!! Why? Because it's new and I like it.

My daily is the PO 42mm in titanium. Perfect for all occasions, light & easy to wear, and extremely robust / durable.

Steinhart Bronze Ocean One. Fantastic watch, gets dunked in Ocean water about 5x per week, and never an issue. It can be replaced for 1/2 the cost of a Rolex service. Quick rinse and it looks like new, with a modest patina. For nostalgia purposes, my 16800 and 16030 only go out for dinner and conversation.

FFS: wat was wrong with a thin lugged Pepsi or Coke with an oyster in SS. I recently bought a SUB'C and it is an abortion. Que all the I love the 6 digit crowd. It is the Porsche 996 of the Rolex world.

The OP 36 is the right size and easy to wear. It doesn’t attract unnecessary attention hence my go to watch for work.

I’ll kick off-

My day to day is a Rolex Air-King 14000. Why- because of it’s understated classic look, dresses with anything, the size and comfort of it whilst being elegant and classy with all the Rolex goodness present. I like the fact that not many point it out, and it never gets in the way of any situation. No matter the scenario or event at hand, I can reach for it and it will just work.



Look forward to reading your responses!
Love that Air-King! I can understand why it serves so well.

My Submariner is my daily watch, and for many of the same reasons as your Air-King: it's versatile, comfortable, low-key (most people I'm around wouldn't know it's a Rolex), and I love looking at it.

FWIW, I wear a 14060M (2 line) 24/7. It’s my only watch.
