Seeing as the Blancpain milspec is my son's birth year watch (and technically the paperwork has his name on it), then that's one I have to keep.

The second though...tough call. I think the LVc wins the second spot by a hair.

-Daytona for daily wear and dress ocassions
-both rugged and water proof
-both super comfortable
-both classics that will last a lifetime

What’s your best 1-2 punch, if you could only have two?

Those are indeed an incredible duo, and the hardest to acquire as well for those very sane reasons.

Okay, the 14060M and BLNR.

I can't believe I just threw my Pepsi under the bus but I'm really digging the BLNR. It could be the honeymoon phase so ask me again in 6 months :)

The white DaytonaC and GMT BLRO is the ultimate SS professional duo for me. If I had both of those in my stable, I would be pretty content with my Rolex SS itch being thoroughly satisfied. Half way there, just waiting on the call for the BLRO.

Only having basic rolex for rotation, but im already satisfied with it :)... but if milgauss relaunched in baselworld... that will be another story.....had my eye for 1815 chrono but the blackness of the dial in real life does not as jet black as i want to...

Now just wait and see what they have for next

Thanks for the compliment.

Daytona series has been my top favorite for Rolex so it’s both my Daytona.

But BLRO has been working so well as my daily it’s a very difficult choice to make if I have to come down to two. That’s why I settled at three. Hehe

Thanks! The AP and Daytona would be the two, but the Pam 183 is a fun piece.

It would be very hard for me to limit to two. If I were pushed to narrow to three, I would probably end up with these.




If I was forced to reduce to two, I would keep the 16710 as the beater due to versatility and variation, and then go with the Patek Annual Calendar as the dress watch.

Hope I don’t ever have to make that decision.

I own neither of these two pieces, though I must agree they are a great duo that covers a range of situations. For me, it would likely be a no date Submariner and a Datejust with a fluted bezel, Jubilee bracelet and white dial. That way I'd have something purely sport and something pretty close to dress.

I know I have a problem when I see your 690, and despite not having one myself, I want to go home and put on my 514 to be as close as possible. I just love that Radiomir 1940 case. Even at 47mm, you can really dress it up with a gator strap!

If I only kept 2 of mine, it may be the SD43 and the White Sky-Dweller. That would cover most situations for me and would have the most contrast in my collection.
