You could NOT sell it. What Rolex or watch would you buy. Forget the money and availability, if you could have any ONE which one do you choose?

Ill go first, it would be a toss up between the Plat Daytona with diamonds or AP RO Chrono in Platinum.

Platinum DD36 with Diamond markers

MeanPharmD · 26 March 2023, 03:54 AM

Patek 5711 rose gold

Mystro · 26 March 2023, 04:02 AM

Daytona Rainbow. I have seen it so many times on camera and it “explodes” on the wrist. Mark Wahlberg especially wears it well with anything from jeans to a tux.

Cassidyanne · 26 March 2023, 04:03 AM

Maybe one of either of these

Mifune · 26 March 2023, 04:04 AM

The first Submariner... as in THE FIRST Submariner.

330ci · 26 March 2023, 04:08 AM

if money were no object I'd have this one, or the 1/1 platinum model that was custom made for some rich collector and auctioned off a few years back. (No clue if $816k is reflective of market or not, first time I've seen this one, usually partial to the YG, but this seems more under the radar)

Never seen one in person, but Patek Cloisonne dials are probably my favorite pieces of art currently produced.

KhalidSS used to get a bunch of the Cloisonne Calatravas and would post them but you really don't see/hear about them too much.

Would be really tough choosing a Rolex. Probably would end up rocking a Mil Sub or an original comex diver. The Teflon coated South African Submariner would be a close third though

36mm Explorer. It’s the only model in the current range that I like.

Corvette · 26 March 2023, 04:28 AM

Rolex Pepsi

brandrea · 26 March 2023, 04:31 AM

Probably the Submariner

I’ll always have one in the collection whatever the iteration.

The others always seem to come and go.

Yeah, definitely a Sub

or ...

a 16170 with all three bezels and both bracelets.

Not really pining for any watches these days but if I was these 3 would be in the running.

PP 5316P. All you would want or need in a dress watch. Platinum, perpetual calendar, moon phase, minute repeater, tourbillon on a classy black alligator strap.

TheVTCGuy · 26 March 2023, 05:41 AM

Platinum Submariner…. Oh wait, they don’t make that

Watchflair · 26 March 2023, 05:45 AM

For me it would be a PP 5712. Eventually I’ll buy one - probably end up having to go gray as I have zero PP spend.

Just so perfect to me in so many ways - I don’t use the term lightly but this would be my grail.

I’d love some updates to the bracelet but other than that it’s just so well done.

I still have an old copy of Chronos with the Freak on the cover. This was my first Horological love. Definitely would be up there on my list as well.

There are a lot of iterations of it now but basically it's much the same as the older versions. Obviously not everyone's taste but such a cool design.

A good article on them....https://monochrome-watches.com/in-de...ng-innovation/

I actually like to Corum Golden Bridge as well.

Krash · 26 March 2023, 07:54 AM

Why stop at 1? These 3 would be nice.

Never really thought about where the first submariner was.

Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay had the first explorers i believe. Or atleast the first explorer went to the top of Everest with their group. I do remember some speculation about who was wearing what.

And while not a submariner, this 1920s Oyster Submarine seems worthy of mention. I've always found them fascinating, they used to be attainable when they popped up. not sure about these days.

I appreciate the read, I am partial to the earlier models myself. The OG gold with all the blued parts really did it for me.

Corum makes some neat stuff, not really my style anymore but I considered a few of their more eccentric dials when I was younger.
