What is your favorite Basel 2016 watch?

I will go with the Daytona Ceramic.

I could only do 10 options so I know I left off a few watches such as the gold daytonas, celini and a few tudors.

Cheers and happy basel!!!

Since there's no "None" option, I've picked the only watch that I could imagine owning, the Daytona-C (white).

Even though I would be loath to enter the 5 digit realm of Rolex pricing, I have to say that while yesterday, I told my AD saleslady that I had no interest in SS Daytonas at all, today I have a very keen interest in the SS Daytona and it might be enough to get me to part with that kind of money.

So, I voted for the Daytona, even though there are other watches that I like a lot.

Two tone DJ 41 on jubilee. I think I've found my grail piece finally.

I imagine Daytona is going to be the overwhelming majority. Rightfully so, well done by Rolex.

I love my white dial Daytona, but I think the black dial model takes my vote. White I love the new white dial's subrings, I think the ceramic bezel is overpowering, and reminds me too much of a TAG Heuer F1.

It would have been the two tone DJ 41 on jubilee, however the clasp REALLY ruined it for me. The clasp should have been hidden like on the 36mm dj.

I really hope they don't do this on the 36mm.

Maybe they rectify it like they did with the exp 1 or the dd2.

Explorer, it's the class of the releases IMHO. A ceramic Daytona does nothing for me.

And everyone doubted that a SS ceramic Daytona would come out.

Ceramic Daytona > Explorer > Black Bay Bronze > Black Bay rivet

Everything else was fine, except the new AK and the new DJ. The horrendous dial and terrible clasp choice respectively kill those watches for me.

Should have left off the Tudors for a separate poll...

Favourite is the 60th anniversary Day-Date 40 - green dial, in everose or white gold!!!!!!!!!!
