Favorite Rolex/watch in your collection?

Guys, I'm certain you love all your watches, however, there is always a favorite.
Honestly, do you love all of your timepieces the same or do you have a favorite?

Today it's my 114160. That might change tomorrow because I might not have it that long

Easy to see why. It really can go anywhere and do anything quite well. Plus that dial is so nice

Hard to pick a favorite but over the last 30 years the most consistent watch in my line up is the 16613/116613LB. For whatever reason the blue, gold and SS always sing to me.
Model wise, Submariner from all eras is by far my favorite Rolex.

Right now it is my 16610 K serial Submariner. It is my most recent acquisition. In my opinion it is the golden age of Subs, lug holes, SEL, bright lume, and solid dive extension. I seem to be gravitating back to the older style classics.

Right now it's still one of my 79090 blue subs, but if/when I find the right 1680 THAT will be my favorite.

Torn between my new Z-blue, and my Speedy Pro.

I also love my Tudor Ranger...

My Seiko Sport 5 is my least favorite, but I suspect the Speedy Pro and the Rolex will get equal wrist time.
