IF you were only allowed one - what would it be?

So if by some decree you were only allowed one watch what would it be? It would need to tick a number of boxes for you, so wearibility, functionality, exclusivity (if that's a care) etc.

For me it would need to be a steel piece like the Daytona or blue dial Sky or if PM then wg...

BLRO or BLNR. Either would make for an amazing one and only.

If a Rolex it would be either the SD43 or the Polar Explorer II.

As much as I like my Daytona, if only allowed one Rolex I’d probably go SD43 or Sub date. It wouldn’t be a Rolex if I was allowed to expand to other brands and limited to one.

I'll assume Rolex since that's where you've posted...

For me, it would have to have a date and comfort would have to reign supreme.

I'm normally a diver guy, but in this case for me it would be this one without hesitation

I have never said, "I shouldn't wear my OP39 today," whereas the YM, DJ, and BBBr get bounced now and again. So, I guess I'd have to go with the OP.

Within Rolex, BLNR for me - has everything I need - durability, comfort, accuracy, date, gmt , and can use bezel to (approximately) time things.
