For an everyday wear a SubC would be perfect

I like sub c no date. If you are going to rotate watches it can get annoying to set the date all the time. I’ve stopped doing this most of the time on my watches with a date function.

The explorer is the most versatile single watch. Don’t over look it. DJ 41 is another versatile option. But that explorer! It’s something else. And so much history.

New, a Blue or black dial GV milgauss or a distinctly personal datejust. I’d want to have something different from my friend. I’d prefer the no date sub though i’ve seen Kermit subs lately for around 10k as well, i think that’s a solid long term holder. If i found one i’d hop all over an AD stock BLRO. I think the aftermarket price is going to settle to around $12,500 which is still too much for the watch considering it’s contents. There’s a lot of irrational demand for it. (off topic)

Agree with Sub C but definitely the Date. Slightly over $9000 with tax but I think it's worth the extra couple hundred, especially if it'll be worn every day. Tried to live with the No date Sub everyday and I failed, hard.

Whatever you pick don't look back and stay off the forums. Like others have said if you get a professional model you'll later want a DJ and vice versa.

I would have a look at the basic Oyster Perpetual line; three different sizes, different dial colours, less flashy than a Sub or Datejust, significantly cheaper than 9000$, and probably one of the only models you can currently find at any AD, and maybe get a discount on it.

If I could have only one Rolex it would be a Submariner ceramic. If you want a date, then the Submariner Date is an obvious choice. If you want a GMT, the BLNR or the BLRO (if you can get one at list) would be great choices as well. If I could only have one watch, the Oyster Perpetual 39mm with the white dial is extremely versatile. For something easily obtainable, the Explorer II white dial is a fine choice too.
