+ What's it Gonna Be? +

Daytona, GMT or Sub?

My Favourite Three...

Something Modern, Vintage or Classic?

Land, Air or Sea?



Thanks for looking at my 40mm love affair in steel. Featuring 3 Rolexes from three different model eras spanning almost 30 years. Cosmograph Daytona 116520 (c. 2004), GMT-Master 1675 (c. 1978) and Submariner 14060 (c. 1999)

Great trio and three iconic watches! My vote for today is the GMT...I assume that is what you are asking!

My three favourites also. The Submariner is the watch to start the week, and ending with the Daytona.

I don't like the choices. I was feeling like a PM Rolex today ...

Ok ok go with the Daytona, it's missing a few hairlines for its age

Thanks guys! I think the really cool thing is that the majority of you picked the vintage GMT w/ jubilee and we're not in the vintage forum. It just goes to show how timeless the Rolex design is.

So actually I did go with the GMT this morning to shake off the Monday blues...

I kinda 'grew up' with the older style case, so it's my case preference as well.
