copperjohn · 15 August 2020, 06:06 AM

If I may say, that’s like asking “what car should I drive?” What’s your lifestyle? Would you wear it at work or just when going out? What do you like? Have you narrowed down to a couple to choose from?

Or do you just want to have a Rolex?

pedersenkl · 15 August 2020, 06:09 AM

Sub for sport. DJ/DD for dress.

CPRWATCH · 15 August 2020, 06:10 AM

My friends I’ll say it clear & I’ll state my case of which I’m certain , this is the Rolex to own if no other ,

JRell · 15 August 2020, 06:15 AM

Either of the 2 icons - datejust or sub

JSL420 · 15 August 2020, 06:45 AM

Rainbow Daytona or Explorer

Calatrava r · 15 August 2020, 06:49 AM

One and done, not a lifetime of trading up and longing. I would buy a DD 40 Platinum with the icy blue Romans dial and never look back. Problems solved.

mmaggi · 15 August 2020, 06:51 AM

16710. You can get 3 different bezel inserts and 2 bracelets.

A Steel diver or a DJ.
If you’re a casual guy go Diver.
If more chic go DJ.

Thats so individual, some do well with a YG Daytona, others need a sub to bang around, some like understatement and prefer a date just or a platinum DD or Explorer 1.
I love a GMT for the second time zone and having a date is quite useful to me.
But a 36mm Datejust in black or blue and a little math (or smartphone) goes a long way.

Londonrolex · 15 August 2020, 07:25 AM

Without doubt the SS Daytona... suitable for every situation, looks great, best store of wealth.

prnceofpersia23 · 15 August 2020, 07:43 AM

A lot of different suggestions. Confused yet?

I have this conversation often with friends who notice my watches and then want a Rolex for themselves.

If only one, then choose what fits your lifestyle best. Also, not all models are particularly easy to buy, unless you are willing to pay a premium.

Some questions to consider; Which model do you like? What's your budget? What do you do for a living? What's your dress style? What do you do for fun?

My personal choice would be 116710LN.

The Rolex Submariner is the base watch in any watch collection.

Completely agree. I’d also have a black rubber strap as a backup when I wanted to dress it down or wear on hot summer days.

Really the best one Rolex to own is the one YOU choose to put on your wrist and call it a day.

THC · 15 August 2020, 08:16 AM

One pm and one sport

NDAzone · 15 August 2020, 08:17 AM

It’s whatever Rolex you personally could wear with most outfits.
I wear my DJ41 with everything: suit, tuxedo, t-shirt and jeans. Some people like the sub and wear it with the same outfits, personally, I wouldn’t. So it comes down to you.
