In your heart, isn't this really the most attractive Rolex?

Yes....this one..!!!.... (or could it possibly be the TT Black Sub)

That may be the most attractive Rolex in my heart. I'm more concerned about the one on my wrist though.

The jubilee adds to the uniqueness of a classic Rolex sports watch.

That's the beauty of the 16710. You can make it to your own liking.

With a NATO too? Some consider the combo sacrilegious. They call it a piece of cloth. Well, at least it is better than calling it a POS.

Oh, I happen to like the NATO or Zulu.

Thanks MM and JJ. Recently changed back to the oyster. But always great to be able to reverse things too.

Tools,
All 3 great watches.

The GMT is a gentlemans sport watch, the jubilee is a delightfully appropriate option...

After all, it's perfectly designed to be used on the comfort of high speed, intercontinental travel.

It is the perfect companion to a glass of red wine, or a scotch and soda while traversing one line of longitude after another.
