Which Rolex Best Fits Which Personality?

What follows below is a brief description of a personality type. My question to you is which Rolex would you pair with each of the following types? Just so you know, there are no right or wrong answers. As humans, we are typically comprised of at least 2 types. Do you know which type(s) you are? Match one type to a watch or all six. Most importantly, have fun with this!


1. Adventurous - risk-taking, action-oriented, extroverted, thrives on challenges, noncomformity, "live on the edge"

2. Conscientious - strong moral principals, values hard work, efficiency & absolute certainty, likes routine.

3. Idiosyncratic - self-directed, oblivious to convention, creates own interesting & eccentric lifestyle

4. Sensitive - prefers known to unknown, much more comfortable with familiarity, repetition and is polite and reserved

5. Self-Confident - leader, able competitor, enjoys high rank & status, belief in one's own uniqueness, sense of being special

6. Dramatic - sensation-oriented, emotionally demonstrative, seductive, engaging, imaginative

nice answer scott. another option would be>
1)DSSD- it can go down that deep thats truly adventurous
2)SS datejust-watch of basic principles
3)daytona leopard- the leopard is really eccentric fo me,artistically designed too.cant wear that.
4)milgauss-this watch seems so polite in my eyes
5)daytona SS black dial and/or daytona white gold black dial-it must be it!
6) sub LV-the green cool colr bezel made it fit for that,
nice thread here! its fun

This watch screams "hysterical personality" with some definite schizotypal tendencies (idiosyncratic). Excellent work, Lisa, go to the head of the class!

Aw, shucks. I suppose now wouldn't be a good time to admit I'm a "closet" histrionic.

I'd actually buy that. I wouldn't wear it.

But it would be a... conversation piece.
