If you walk into a Rolex store, and had to choose 5 Rolexes to take home with you. Let's dream a bit, which ones would you choose?

Of course I would choose them all in precious metals, in short they would be...

padi56 · 31 December 2013, 06:28 PM

If money was no object, these are the 5 rolex watches I would purchase.
1.) explorer I - have
2.) sub LVc- Have
3.) platinum daytona- will never have
4.) GMT IIc yg-- Will consider saving for after exploring Ap and patek
5.). Can't see another one I want right now if I had the other 4

Fiery · 31 December 2013, 10:15 PM

Dreaming is great, I'm in

1) WG Sub-C
2) YG GMT IIC (black dial)
3) YG Daytona (for the wife)
4) Pt DDII (black on black dial)
5) Pt Daytona

It would be difficult to pick a watch to wear the next day though

If money was no object I would buy a Platinum Daytona for every member of TRF.

Always dream big !!!!!

jamesbondOO7 · 1 January 2014, 12:05 AM

I have already 4 out of 5. None of them to be found at an AD nowadays though. The 5th one would be Platinum Day Date probably.

But, I'm sure I would have more than five if money were no object.

GoodThings · 1 January 2014, 12:26 AM

I only want one solid gold Rolex, a gold sub. If I had money for a second luxury watch it would not be a Rolex, it would be a Jaeger Lecoultre with a marche reserve or moonphase. I like Rolex but don't need more than one. I like cars and traveling and having lots of fun.

I agree. I would not pay for a tool watch in precious metal. But, we are just dreaming here….

Great collection photo, as always!
Can't wait to see your Platinum Daytona.
C'mon, it's more of a "when" than an "if" at this point, isn't it?

Have a Happy and Healthy New Year

VADanno · 1 January 2014, 12:54 AM

Ahhh, the heavy metal five! WG SubC and YG DD are first to go on the list. Picking a dial would be a challenge for the President. WG Daytona with silver dial/black subdials is next on the list: the current rendition of the Paul Newman. YG GMT has always caught my eye, so that makes number four. I would need a platinum example to round out the top five, and I would have to try on every Plat in the AD. If I have to decide now, then the Daytona gets the nod...dials and bezels TBD.

Happy New Year to all!

polarinda · 1 January 2014, 01:02 AM

Give me one patek 5070 and a daytona panda will do. Thx

Roll the Lex · 1 January 2014, 01:26 AM

1) 116718 YG GMT2c with green dial- love the green dial
2) Platinum Daytona- to sell off to fund for AP
3) RG DD with black mop dial and diamonds- love rg and mop
4) SS Daytona with black dial- the classic
5) Since we're all dreaming, can I custom order from Rolex? Platinum Explorer I

JJG · 1 January 2014, 01:45 AM

Even if money were no object, I would still go with my wishlist:

Well......maybe I would have to throw the platinum Daytona in there and remove the DatejustII
