A sub date or GMT BLNR

Robust Rolex DNA with a date

This, but I'd substitute BLRO for BLNR

I suppose it depends on what model you like more than any, if you just went ahead and bought one becouse of suggestions based on what others like you may end up not being completely satisfied.

TT Datejust

It has steel, it has gold, it has a date for those who need it, and it’s an oyster that will outlive you underwater.

zjd168 · 15 August 2020, 04:22 AM

YG DD, Sub Date or BLNR

Other options could be Pepsi, SD4k, SD43, SS DJ, or SS Daytona if you don't need the date function

iTreelex · 15 August 2020, 04:26 AM

you'll get a sub and then want an exp, gmt, daytona, etc. a week later lol

jc_schmidt · 17 August 2020, 11:13 PM

"You will get a SS sub and want WG Daytona a week later"

exactly my thoughts, ha ha

mjclark32 · 15 August 2020, 04:27 AM

I’ve had my share and the sub date has covered the most bases for me

SpeakWithMichael · 15 August 2020, 04:31 AM

Sub Date!

Ferdelious · 15 August 2020, 04:34 AM

WG Sub

JWD531 · 15 August 2020, 04:38 AM

If I could just choose one, I would probably choose a 116710LN. But since I don’t, I’ll probably never get it.

Why? It has GMT, date, AND if you really wanted to, you could ignore the GMT arrow and use the rotating bezel to track day of the week.

Also, out of all the color and flexibility options, the black dial and black bezel will work in the most situations.

Finally, I have to agree with the poster above that says it doesn’t matter, once you get one you’ll want more later LOL.

How could I forget about the 5-digit bezel swap abilities. Plus the ability to go from jubilee to oyster as well. Can I change my answer? LOL.

Probably SkyD, it’s most robust. Great complications, great movement, can be dressed up or sported down.

42itus · 15 August 2020, 04:59 AM

If it's a dress watch then my vote is for a DD.

If it's a sport watch then I would go Submariner.

brandrea · 15 August 2020, 05:01 AM

DJ, Submariner, GMT, EXP ... flip a coin

azs.77 · 15 August 2020, 05:02 AM

As most have mentioned, can’t go wrong with a sub date. On the other hand, an SD43 is pretty nice as well.

Fake??

Crown, crown guards??????

How it should be, I'm very sorry... I hope you have not been scammed.

mailman · 15 August 2020, 07:08 PM

For me it's the Submariner.

Paul, But your watch listed is the Yacht Master? Seems to be a conflict there.

I need to change it

I don't own it anymore.

mykii · 15 August 2020, 05:06 AM

Submariner or BLRO/Pepsi.

The most significant, historical, and imitable.

Vipes · 15 August 2020, 05:09 AM

Platinum DD. Can dress up/down.

The one currently on your wrist - not the one you would like to buy next.

AK797 · 15 August 2020, 05:09 AM

Just one SS, toss up between LVc and DB DSSD.

Harry-57 · 15 August 2020, 05:12 AM

Depends on what you like. I'd take a SS Sky Dweller. What do you like?

sager · 15 August 2020, 05:18 AM

As a one watch only... I would say the explorer is the best option.
