BLNR in your list as I need the date function and a Rolex if can only have one.

Lol BLNR is awesome, but NOT versatile, at least vs the Daytona. Listen I have neither, so no bias here.

Why?

A useful complication.

Classic Rolex GMT "DNA" aesthetics.

Substantial but not uncomfortable wrist presence.

Can be worn with a variety of straps.

Accuracy of the MT5652 and extended power reserve.

Much more updated and robustly made in comparison to the 5 digit Rolex equivalents.

Vintage / 2nd hand market is a real minefield in several countries and I would never buy, especially having seen just how much polishing goes into a pre-owned piece before it reaches the display. Simply not worth it imho, really. The GMT gives you just that old school look without the headaches.

Doesn't cost a fortune, in fact it slightly depreciates at the moment so it qualifies for a "beater" without 2nd thoughts.

The only reason I would part with it is getting bored. But I don't see this happening any time soon.

This is exactly my thinking as well!

BLNR. Classic model with a little flare!

BLNR Oyster bracelet. Give you a little of everything. A classic, original Rolex design. Exceptional build quality. A useful complication. Slimmer dimensions than the BB GMT. And lots of versatility to wear anywhere.

BLNR, but I would choose a 116234 or a 126234 myself.

BLNR, I always want a date function on my watch.

None of these would form the basis of my one watch collection.

For me the single watch would be my DateJust, if circumstances forced me to sell my collection the DJ would be the last to go as it is so versatile.

If I have to obey the rules then the watch I would own would be the BLNR, but I would sell it asap and buy a DJ.
