So I currently have 2 of these.

116610LN
I made the mistake of selling my first one only to regret and re-purchased it recently. A true classic that can be dressed up or down. Suitable for any situation, you just can't go wrong with a Sub.

Heritage Black Bay (red)
A really fun watch to own and strap on. I bought this on bracelet for versatility and added a custom vintage strap that looks great on it. For days where you don't need to have a Rolex on, feel like having some fun or on casual Fridays and weekends it is perfection.

For me having these 2 covers a lot of bases BUT..... IF (a big IF) I were to stop at 3. Say if the budget is up to 10k what would be the perfect choice? For me the choice is obvious and I just wanted to have some fun and see what the rest of you would do

Either a GMTII BLNR or an Explorer:)

Exactly. (Exp II)

mjclark32 · 1 July 2014, 10:30 PM

I' say Daytona or DJ, something with a slightly smaller profile that can slide right under the cuff.

mfer · 1 July 2014, 10:31 PM

I'd say its time for a Daytona or an Explorer.

Just barely over 10k or very well under.

Cru Jones · 1 July 2014, 10:34 PM

Daytona or DJII.

Jake B · 1 July 2014, 10:40 PM

Blue Omega Aqua Terra 8500..

Steel28 · 1 July 2014, 10:48 PM

Daytona will be a perfect buy.

Good luck.

theken · 1 July 2014, 10:49 PM

With a budget of $10K, I would add 2 watches:
Datejust II 116300
Tudor Ranger 79110
2 Rolexes, 2 Tudors = nice collection

Urosfan · 1 July 2014, 10:49 PM

Exp 2 or datejust2

slim4511 · 1 July 2014, 10:57 PM

You need a splash of white (polar). Exp II preferably older version 16570 in my opinion but I am biased.

I think BLNR would be a great choice for you.

Would love to see a photo of the BB on the custom vintage strap.

mike · 1 July 2014, 11:20 PM

I'd have to agree with either a GMT or EXP II for the versatility.

Roller07 · 1 July 2014, 11:42 PM

16710 is the only correct answer.

ND10 · 1 July 2014, 11:43 PM

All great suggestions... What if I say been there done (in one way or another) that on most of what was mentioned? Found that the Polar ExII and DJII wore too big on my wrist. I wished I could pull off the Exp II

As for the "batman" it's like a roller coaster for me, did not like it when it was unveiled and then it grew on me and now the interest dipped again. I have 3 colleagues that bought one. I'll pass for now.

The DJ 36 116234 was the perfect size for my small wrist. Elegant and classy for wearing to work and with suits. I got one in the 'wrong' dial. Prefer the black roman dial. Anyway as said its a close run but I can only buy one more

Which leaves......
