#1 Daytona and others. For me the sub feels awkward on my wrist and I'm not fond of the Pepsi bezel. I guess because the bezel can be switched to black it would be #2.

Just curious what people prefer on this forum on these three watches that I've carefully curated as part of my collection :)

16710 + 114060 + 116520
Personally dont get this so called ranking stuff they are just Rolex watches, you bought them hopefully to wear and enjoy thats all that matters.All the ranking stuff only exists lately in the last few years on internet forum, and these so called social media sites god knows why.

I'm probably one of the few ppl who doesn't like the Pepsi.
Nothing beats the Sub C ND - clean, sharp, and pops...

116520....the others are so far back that they’re a pinhead in my mirrors.

I have owned all of them but still rank the Daytona above them all.

Oh boy. Here we go with the negativity again.

So according to you, in the past, people didn't collect watches, cars, stamps, whatever, and choose favorites!?

My watches aren't like drinking a glass of water every morning or taking a leak. I pick and choose which I want to wear for all different reasons. Same thing applies to which ones I buy and which ones I might potentially sell/trade. We all have our favorites. It's not complicated.

Of all the things you crap on around here this to me is one of the silliest. At least when you say something like a watch isn't rare cause there are several hundred out there, it's subjective perspective.

Who are you to say someone shouldn't "so called" rank their watches. You must realize you can choose which you like the best, still wear them and somehow manage to enjoy them! Like you said, they're just Rolex watches and this "so called" social media forum is supposed to be a great place to discuss them and have fun with it. Lighten up.

Never seen someone rain on as many parades as you.

You have three great pieces there. I also have the 114060 and 16710 which is a big favorite for me. I'm not a fan enough to have a Daytona in my collection but none the less it's a fine choice and the right combo I'd say. Enjoy those Beauties!!...
Whats next ?

Thanks! Trying to stop here if I can as I've always had a one-in-one-out mentality after 3 watches, but if I were humoring you, the only ones that catch my eye are:

1. Blue SkyDweller
2. *Gasp* Maybe replace 16710 with 126710BLRO?

I was pretty close to doing this too. I couldn't be happier that I didn't!

I own both now. You'd have to have a gun to my head to make me choose at this moment. All I can say is if you can manage to add it, own them both for a while, live in them and then choose, it's the best way to make the right decision. Hopefully down the road you realize you can keep both, but if not at least you will have give each a fair shake.

Today I'd probably keep my 16710. I recently put a faded black (more grayish blue) insert on the watch and I'm totally smitten. It was born a pepsi. But I go through Northeastern Phases every single year. In the fall and winter I feel nostalgic. I like a vintage look, leather straps, smaller watches. Watches that have a "less is more" feel and look.

Once summer hits and I'm in short sleeves most days, I start to like having some heft on my wrist and don't mind if it pops a little and plays with the sun! It sounds kind of silly I suppose, but in reality if you ask me again in the summer i'd most likely choose the 126710.

Here are mine...

1) Pepsi
2) Daytona
3) SubC

Having owned a subC and a pre-ceramic, I would move the sub to 1 if it were a pre-ceramic (couldn't get comfortable with the look of the super case despite my best efforts and desire to love it)

Regardless, great collection and beautiful pieces.

New guy here but dont see a big issue in a fun little ranking of some watches. If you dont want to rank them, just move on without these unnecessary comments.

Beautiful, dude. Part of me was definitely crossing my fingers that you’d say 16710.

Excellent trio! Ranking is personal preference, and mine is GMT, Sub, Daytona. You have a great air, sea, land collection.

Since you're the new guy I'll break it to you, unfortunately, better get used to it....


I'd go Sub, Daytona, Pepsi.
