Submariner 16610
GMT 16710
Sea Dweller 16600
Daytona any reference will do...

Or earlier versions of the above if you are lucky enough to have them...

Your thoughts if you please....

Vincent65 · 8 May 2013, 06:37 AM

I've had the first 3, still got the SD!
Currently got the 1680 and 1675 too, as per my thing on the left...

GsurgBM · 8 May 2013, 06:39 AM

To me Seadweller and Sub are too similar to need both unless money is no object...
I agree with Sub/GMT...
I also like a nice datejust as a dressier option without a numbered bezel...
I can take or leave Daytona...I know it's "the one", but not my personal taste....

Solo118 · 8 May 2013, 06:41 AM

116520
116619
218235
16660 matte dial

Brandon(phila) · 8 May 2013, 06:43 AM

I wouldn't mind a DD / DD II in that mix....you have to dress up sometimes

capote · 8 May 2013, 06:45 AM

16750, 16700, 16600, 18238, 114270 would be a nice collection IMO.

winston · 8 May 2013, 06:45 AM

My all time grail is a 16600 Comex with Lug Holes.... Last one a saw for sale was at GBP £45k...

submariner66 · 8 May 2013, 06:48 AM

Perfect collection all else is really gravy....just add a DJ of some sort probably white or silver dial and I'd be all set

GMT2crazy · 8 May 2013, 06:50 AM

Let's say we lived in dream/fantasy land...

16710 Pepsi (this is the one I have so I'll stick with it)

5512 with a faded bezel that looks grey, similar to this
http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_me...r9ro1_1280.png

Paul Newman Daytona (obviously, who wouldn't want one?)

1655 Panna Explorer (don't know what it is about that cream dial...it's just lovely)

captkevin · 8 May 2013, 06:55 AM

A TT Blue Sub
SS DJ 2
SS GMT with all 3 bezel inserts
gold DD

FremStar · 8 May 2013, 06:56 AM

Tough question for me to answer because I want them all!

luvsub · 8 May 2013, 07:10 AM

I would add YG DD and take away SD.

Roller07 · 8 May 2013, 07:13 AM

1. 218238
2. 16710 w/ all 3 inserts
3. 116610 LVc
4. 116523

I am half way there. Everyone keep your fingers crossed.

You can't take away the SD, my man - it's the best watch Rolex has ever made. I currently have a 1665 and a 16600 and feel that it may not be enough :)

The Daytona has never really done it for me, although I've had a couple in the past. I may at some time get another GMT but it would have to have an independent hour hand this time around, and in the meantime I'm happy with my Explorer II. The surprise for me has actually been the DJII, which is an amazing watch.

landroverking · 8 May 2013, 07:35 AM

I been lucky enough to had all the earlier ones, I would add a vintage Daytona to the list,
which I owned for ten years.

winston · 8 May 2013, 07:38 AM

Agreed the SD is a must have!

nauticajoe · 8 May 2013, 07:44 AM

Of the watches I've purchased & sold, only 2 remain in my collection that will forever stay in my collection - my V serial SD and M serial Pepsi.

nyc2tlv · 8 May 2013, 08:10 AM

DD2 YG
DJ2 2T or SS/WG
Daytona all RG or YG
SubC 2T

Jannal · 8 May 2013, 08:19 AM

Bought and sold the 16610, 16710, 16600.

Never owned a Daytona, don't like chronographs.

Currently own Sub 114060, 14060M.

I'm thinking about getting an Explorer I, 114270, before the price increase again.

GeoGio Greece · 8 May 2013, 08:21 AM

Submariner 16610 > 5513

GMT 16710 > 16700

Sea Dweller 16600 > the 5513 will do

Daytona any reference will do...> I had it once...no more

A DJ with WG bezel and grey / blue / black dial would do for me.

HL65 · 8 May 2013, 08:22 AM

Well for me I have earlier versions of all so I guess I am ok!! Cheers,

I would replace the Daytona with an Explorer I.

Runnin' Rebel · 8 May 2013, 08:36 AM

Birth Year GMT 1959
WG Sub
Rose Gold Daytona with Black Strap
DD PLATNIUM Glacier Blue Dial

pm me you have that year GMT for sale

caryyee · 8 May 2013, 08:45 AM

My 4 choices for a representative Rolex collection would be ...

1. Either Sub or GMT
2. Daytona
3. DD
4. Expy or DJ

winston · 8 May 2013, 08:48 AM

The V Serial SD seems to have attracted a grail like following... As has the M Serial GMT 16710 with the 3186 movement.... Anyone with these two well done!

GradyPhilpott · 8 May 2013, 08:48 AM

For me it would be:

116200
114270
14060M
16710BLRO

I'm leaning toward the Pepsi, but I don't have one yet.

rocco1109 · 8 May 2013, 08:49 AM

16610 - owned it. sold it
16710 - owned it. sold it
16660 - never owned it. don't want to.
Daytona - wearing one right now. (116520)

CDNWatchNut · 8 May 2013, 08:50 AM

I've got my three that I'm very happy with :
14060 Sub
16570 Exp II
16710 Pepsi

The only other Rolexes that I'd like to have are an Explorer, and perhaps a Milgauss.
Love the SD look, and I've been tempted, but I prefer thinner and lighter for comfort, so the sub is the diver of choice for me.

ttmedical · 8 May 2013, 08:55 AM

2 Sports Watches:
SS Daytona (116520)
Classic Explorer (114270 or 14270)

1 Beater:
Submariner (any reference)
or
Datejust (any reference but for me 116200 or 16200)

1 Dress Watch:
Day-Date (any reference but I'd like a 118205 or 118206)

FeelingTheBlues · 8 May 2013, 08:56 AM

I like a lot of Rolex watches but if I had to choose 4 only I'd go with the following (all vintage, of course)!

Day-Date
GMT
Sea-Dweller
Cellini Prince
