Skydweller. Don’t need more than 100m wr, just as robust as any other Rolex and it’s a damn annual calendar and gmt.

I'd want something like this in case I needed to build a tree house or whatever and do some calculations, or just alleviate the boredom seeing what words I can make with the upside-down numbers. Hopefully I'd be rescued within the 10-yr battery life. The hourly sig beep would also help keep track of the daylight hours. Plus it's only about $30 on Amazon. I'd just hope I remembered to pack the manual.

Whichever watch I’d be willing to pawn off to the first boat I see to get me off the island.

If I were to be deserted on an island I think I’d want one these!

Dont care for a watch. I'd rather have my bottle of whiskey.

If Rolex it would be a Submariner, but practically speaking it would be a G-Shock Rangeman. Cheers!

Hopefully you didn’t go overboard in the water before you got to the island. I’d be pissed if it stopped working due to the watch stopping because of the water.

Shipwrecked with a Rolex.

I’d want a date and a 24 hour hand might be a good idea, too. So probably my GMT BLNR.

But like somone said above, I’d go with my solar powered G-Shock.

If it's a Rolex, then something rugged and water resistant. A Sub or a Sea-Dweller probably. If not, a solar G-Shock will do.

Probably not my early 90s sub or my early 90s daydate.
Being stranded on an island would be a bad time to find out that either watch was not completely water proof.

Perpetual calendar and GMT function, plus it can signal boats and planes over 30 miles away. No brainer.

Changed my mind.

I'd want whatever had the most gold content - I'd melt it down and trade for sundries with the locals.

Deepsea for durability, GMT for navigation, my pick would be between the two.
