If you were to start over and buy your first ever Rolex today, which one would it be and why? Pictures are a bonus

Seibei · 12 October 2019, 07:59 AM

114060. Because I like it the best.

dba · 12 October 2019, 10:26 AM

16710; Because Magnum, PI wore one.

That was my first, and I would do it again. It’s just a great watch.

I did just start over ( first was a 16610 ). Got a bigger one now!

mistercoach32 · 12 October 2019, 10:33 AM

My favorite Rolex I've owned is the SD43. It wasn't around when I started collecting so I likely would have purchased the one I originally purchased, which was a 5-digit Sub. If there's one watch I regret not purchasing, that would be the 16610LV when I had the chance to pick one up for $5k back in '06. Stoopid!

Explorer 1. On oyster flex or regular bracelet

illiguy · 12 October 2019, 11:15 AM

Either a 114060 or 116610, because I’m assuming that we’re talking about watches that would currently be in production.

I love subs, and I think if I only had to have one, I’d lean towards the SubC Date. Bonus is that I own this beautiful model today.

Same here. He actually wore a 1675, but I'd take any Pepsi GMT.

This! And I’m watching the latest episode at this exact moment. New Magnum is wearing 16710...

Setarip · 12 October 2019, 11:52 AM

16600 - my first then, now would like be SD43.

locutus49 · 12 October 2019, 11:52 AM

Assuming I could afford it, this, because it combines my three favorite things: the Sub, white gold, and blue.

ajas · 12 October 2019, 12:02 PM

Sub or Exp or Sub or Expl ... not sure

Is it not a 26k watch?

In regards to the post; If I were starting over I'd probably go for a 116613LB this time around. I went with the 116713 because I thought the blue would be too loud for every day wear. 8 months later with my 116713 and I love it, but I've grown to realize that the 116613LB wouldn't make a difference.

Smarties · 12 October 2019, 03:31 PM

Explorer 1, or Sub date if possible.

That was my first one and I would do it again! I would add the fact Chuck Yeager wore one added to my desire along with Magnum.
