What would be your pick?

If money was no object, I’d add a rose gold DD40, a BLRO jubilee, and a green sub.

My pref/pick of daily Rolex's

SS PT/Blue dial Y-M
&
SS PT?PT dial Y-M

I've been wearing Rolex's since 1980, I've had a number of GMT's, Subs, Explorer's, D-J's.

Great & durable watches. However, no Rolex has ever fit or sat on my wrist better than my Y-M's. Love both dials, that's why two of same model.

Great & easy fit with any attire but, the Y-M's case contour makes for an easier, narrower fit under sleeve & a bit more chic with suit, tux or, sport-coat.

Net/net: whatever makes you smile & happy, to each his/her own.

BTW: I'm finally narrowing my collection to a unique qualifier = ONLY those I love & wear (finally, LOL)

Aside from the sky D which is only a modern model, I don’t think the OP said it had to be the current version.

Which references and configurations would you pick, from any time period?
