Shifted my Rolex collection to just a pair. I'm finding that these two work pretty well for me

Makes sense to have fewer watches you actually wear regularly.
thanks!
I have found i have gravitated to these two watches on a daily basis... i wear others of course but these two get the most wrist time.

Patek 5164 travel time + Daytona LN black = sweet pairing

If I could only have two watches - neither one would be a Rolex, sorry.

15202 and 5711 would be my two. Period.

Sub as the daily, Pepsi for the weekend. Jubilee also means it dresses up pretty well for special occasions too imo.

Outstanding pair. Easily my favorite so far.

Also an outstanding pair. Hard to argue with the RG DD40 and WG OF Daytona.

I realize i very much dislike the 6 digit cases on the subs/gmt’s. Im not sure how I feel about my daytona yet. And i cant walk around with an all gold rolex or patek... i dont like the weight and the attention.
Exp 1 and 5712R are perfect complements!

It does bring things into focus as to what you truly need!

Its like under fire evacuation and you could only grab two watches ...what would you grab?

Daytona white and DD40 certainly covers the bases

The BLRO for its comfort, and overall versatility. The SD43 because IMO it's the best Rolex diver in terms of overall proportions and wrist presence.

Thanks !!!

BLRO + SD43 = all you need ever (sd43 is a tank!)

Milgauss z-blue- least Rolex like with the crazy color combo that works, and a fun model that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Any watch with a orange lighting bolt second hand can’t be a moody, serious wis investor watch. The green sapphire is so unique in the watch world and done just right. Sunburst dial? Can never go wrong with a Rolex sunburst.

i like the stealthy WG BLRO....+ Z-Blue has great colors

We all want the winning lottery ticket, but, we also know it’s irrational. If those are your watches, you improbably (on purely odds basis) got tickets 1&2 so, congrats.
Thanks!!

But if push came to shove and you had to choose two from your great collection which two would you pick???

(i didn't mean the thread to be what is the best duo. Because everyone is different and have different needs/desires/uses....but for TRF to pick two from their the collection)

Everyone has their own two favorites for sure.....Daytona and BLRO are just my two best watches!!
