If I could only have one...
I’ve been in watch heaven lately.
Every watch I put on, I’m just loving. I’ve got four Rolex watches right now that I’m truly very happy with. And for their own reasons, any could be my only. BLNR - on the sub bracelet. Great lume. Date. Timing bezel. Nice touch of color. SubC - on green Everest. Fun. Great lume. Timing bezel. Super clean dial. WG Daytona on OF - speaks for itself. Just a beautiful watch. Perfectly balanced. Great looking. DJ41 silver, smooth, jubilee - extremely comfy. Great looking. Incredibly versatile. Any of these four I would consider myself lucky to have. And I could definitely have any one of them as an only. But if I had to choose, and Ive thought about this a lot lately, I think I finally decided it’s an easy answer. And considering it’s a tough decision everyday at this point, I’m almost surprised it’s a clear winner for me. But here she is...

I kinda agree. Simplest form of a wrist watch with all iconic Rolex DNA, fit for all occasion.
Rolex Explorer I may be a good choice too but it’s too toolish for some. |

Damn, this is the one I would have picked. Easily btw. My only wish is that Rolex can come up with a hidden clasp like they have on all other DJ’s.

Yeah, the DJ41 has been calling me as well, and I’m itching to get one. It’s an awesome watch.

Ha. I wish. I’d love to be a one watch guy.
Two would actually be ideal. I like to be covered in case of emergency so some redundancy is always prudent. But I’m too much of an addict to do that. I have a sickness.

For me it would be the Daytona, but really like the DJ41 as well.

The Datejust always wins out in the end. Nice collection you have and a nice 41 too.

That's a great choice. The size covers the sport watch. The bracelet and bezel cover the dress watch. The color covers everything else.

Solid choice. Something about that jubilee/smooth combination that rocks my boat. And the stick dials on the 41...sheer perfection, IMO.
I just can't decide between silver and rhodium...and of course no watches exist anywhere for a guy to just try on and see for himself. |

My all gold YM2 116688 and my Apple Watch. The Apple Watch has many uses, I use mine as a baby monitor to monitor my baby’s camera & to receive texts and phone calls. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Like the dj. But the Daytona is more special. IMHO.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the Daytona.
But if I’m looking for an all around perfect watch, I just don’t think the DJ41 can be beat.

That is a lovely watch no question. Sometimes I think about adding one. I'd choose a Sub on bracelet as my only, but I think you already know that.

I totally agree with you!! I love my DJ41 and I chose it over a GMTC LN, and I let go of my Daytona WG Racing Dial and my GMTC TT.
My current collection I have the Blue YM and the DD40, and it edges out the DD40 because I wouldn’t wear YG in every situation but the DJ41 I could.

That’s a really tough call Seth, but I can see how you’ve arrived at the DJ41. Gorgeous combo you have there !
A one and only for me, would ideally have a date and a rotating bezel, so it would be a Sub date or SD43. The DJ41 is a real stunner and very versatile as you point out. I’d probably agree with you if I dressed up every now and then |

That's a beauty Seth. Would be hard pressed to pick one but the DJ41 definitely plays into any role.

Tough choices! I've thought about this also. If I had to choose one, it would probably be this...
