I sorta have say the 16750 is because it’s the watch that got me into it all and it was my fathers. I love it.

However my personal favorite is the 16600. It’s about perfect IMO. I miss having it. I am thinking about getting one out of the collection to get it back.

In an absolute sense, the Rolex Daytona 116519 with meteorite dial. It’s stunning in person.

Otherwise, love my 116500 black dial.

Tough question for sure. I guess it would have to be the one that turned me onto Rolex and “real” watches in general. Please see attached.

That’s the winner right there. That watch looks so good. What are you making in the big green egg in the Netherlands by the way?

Exp 2 black dial. Unpretentious, no frills, can take endless punishment. The best workhorse in the stable.

If including old models, a 4 digit Daytona. If current, or semi-current, I'll stick with what I got.

OP 41 or 39. I feel most comfortable wearing those with short sleeves. The rest I have to cover under long sleeves.

Had many popular SS sports Rolex and datejusts. 126610LN beats them all for me, all you need.

TT seadweller. The most capable dive watch in the Rolex collection that has some gold and a cyclops. https://youtube.com/shorts/AuoZC8-p--s?feature=share

A vintage Pepsi is my favourite.

I would take the Paul Newman for free though and sell it to buy my Pepsi (and a plane).

I'm a man of simple tastes, so for me it's the 116710BLNR. If all my watches had to go, the BLNR is the one I'd keep to the bitter end.
