Rolex Dream Team!

Let's say you could have any 5 Rolexes, but the catch is that each one has to come from a different line. Which 5 would you pick?

I'd go with:

* GMT IIC
* Bluesy Sub
* Black SS Daytona
* White Gold President
* Seadweller (older version)

I would say that the Bluesy Sub and Seadweller are from the same line for the most part... Just my thought. I think we've done a thread like this before too. But that said, here would be my 5:

- SS Sub LV (with black bezel insert too)
- Plat. DDII with arctic blue dial
- Gold GMT II c
- TT YM
- SS DJ with blue roman numeral dial

I'm the same, except swap the Milgauss for PN Daytona.

Eh, that about does it for me. I won't be greedy and pick five.

I would love to give an appreciation for the vintage Rolex watches, but I like the current lineup (with the exception of the Red Sub):

1) SS GMTIIC
2) Red Sub
3) White gold Daytona (meteorite dial)
4) Platinum DD41 (ice blue dial)
5) TT Ceramic Sub (black dial)

GMT II
Blue Sub TT - the OLD one! 16613
DD in WG with BLACK mop dial
GMT IIc ( eventually in TT )
DD II in YG with mop dial

The DD´s may be exchanged for DJ II´s ... or a YM TT with b/w mop dial - who knows, I do not!

;-)

Hmm... interesting question... here's my take:

1. Newman Daytona, black face
2. Sub LV
3. GMT Master II, coke or pepsi bezel (don't know if I can decide between the two)
4. Platinum DD w/ Glacier Blue stick dial
5. DRSD

If we can technically include watches with Rolex movements... then replace the GMT with a PAM 21!
