One watch to rule them all

Hello folks, been itching to upgrade. I'm a one watch guy, been meaning to upgrade to a PM model. I was at rolex yesterday and none of the PM Rolexes sang to me. If you had one watch, what would it be? 30-50k range. Thanks

Initially I would agree with Dom.
But noticed that you mentioned it being PM.
Perhaps you could tell us a bit about your lifestyle?
Would a dress or sport watch suit you best?

I would prefer a PM model but I understand with patek steel is as good as gold

I am currently smitten with the Journe CS Bleu. I own a yellow gold Patek Calatrava. I am wowed by Langes. If I were to spend in the 30s for a watch, I like the Rolex Pepsi GMT in white gold.

This. If it has to be pm, go 5711r or 5164r. If you can wait, maybe pick up the new aquanaut with blue dial in white gold

Thee are great ideas! Or maybe a 5980R- it's bit above the pricepoint though.

Have fun deciding!

White 5711 is under appreciated. Very sporty and for me, better than blue.

5711/1A and let that be that. The one I'm eagerly waiting for, when I get it, I think my watch buying would be complete. I was never a PM kind of guy and only other piece I could think of in steel would be a 15202, which maybe I would consider. If PM get a 5711/R.
