GMT by far. Polished center links for elegance, rugged case for sportiness. 2nd time zone complication, and a beautiful ceramic bezel.

My personal choice is the Daytona, but even I think the GMT is the true one and done watch as it has it all.

iqbal624 · 15 August 2020, 08:28 AM

For me it was the Sub-date.

Then I bought an Explorer II the following week.

Easy choice. The Rolex you'll put on your wrist and pretty much never take off for many years. Eventually send in to RSC for service, and then wear it for years.........

Arid · 15 August 2020, 09:29 AM

Any one of my datejust can be my one and only watch. It's the most versatile piece in my collection.

Datejust: versatile, classic design, rich history, easily accessible

peterpl · 15 August 2020, 09:54 AM

if your a one watch guy its either a Sub Date or a DJ41 and thats it.

Either of those 2 can be a single lifetime watch

HogwldFLTR · 15 August 2020, 10:20 AM

IMHO it's the most versatile and ultimate Rolex!!!

JSCP · 15 August 2020, 10:36 AM

Day Date or Gold Daytona

Lamontsanders · 15 August 2020, 10:40 AM

Sub or Sub Date.

downtorock · 15 August 2020, 10:44 AM

GMT or Sub. For me if I had to keep just one in my collection it would be the oyster BLNR (over the ceramic white dial daytona)

RolexSimon · 15 August 2020, 10:55 AM

love my WG GMT II Pepsi - has the gold, the pepsi and the oyster bracelet.

Onikage · 15 August 2020, 11:08 AM

Probably Day-Date. Never get upset when you find out it's Tuesday when you thought it was at least Wednesday again. In all seriousness the 16710 is mine. Everything else can go and I need never own another. That's how you find your one watch.

bogardon · 15 August 2020, 11:09 AM

114270 Explorer 1. Perfect for my 6" wrists. No date is just perfect for me too.

fskywalker · 15 August 2020, 01:03 PM

Another vote for Sub Date

only one? sub

Hollie_Rollie · 15 August 2020, 01:21 PM

JC DSSD... you get the best diver in the Rolex line up with also the best dial. Not to mention it’s a beast and can handle whatever you throw at it. I also love the slightly domed crystal and no cyclops.

subprimero · 15 August 2020, 02:03 PM

Datejust for a one and only watch. Submariner as the only Rolex in a collection.

Snake Plissken · 15 August 2020, 02:29 PM

GMT or Sub

Verdi · 15 August 2020, 02:56 PM

Datejust.
Its classic, it has the movement, its versatile.....and there is no waitlist!

nyc2la · 15 August 2020, 02:59 PM

Don’t think I can get to one, but if forced to get to two Rolex, these would be the last two in the watch roll.

CanPam · 15 August 2020, 03:28 PM

Simple question needs simple answer:

If you need a date function > SD4K 166600

If you don't need a date function > Explorer 214270

Token74 · 15 August 2020, 06:15 PM

My answer is always the same to this, it’s the 116500.

I sold mine after I bought a 116519, but that’s because as part of a collection, the 519 offered more. But as an only watch, the 500 would be perfect.

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.

APPRF · 15 August 2020, 07:14 PM

Submariner, DJ41, or Batman. pick any

danwang0520 · 15 August 2020, 07:33 PM

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