If you could keep only one Rolex, which model would you choose?
What is the model and dial color and why you chose it?
 I am first torn between a GMT Master or a Daytona. If it is a Daytona, I can't decide because any model is good. Would you be brave enough to decide on one? |

Prob the GMT. I use the bezel for timing many things. I find the screw down pushers annoying.

I never intend to go there. If I needed to I would keep my 126710BLRO.

I can’t see it happening but probably my Explorer 39mm. I can wear it anywhere for anything.

I would have said a Sub but GMTs have been knocking it out of the park in recent years.

To wear every day?
Explorer 36mm. It’s the perfect daily for me. If I only wore a watch sparingly, I’d probably go with the GMT BLRO. But it’s a bit loud. |

GMT Master II BLNR on Oyster
Hot take, but i'd definitely take my Exp II Polar over the Sub for a second choice. |

Explorer 124270 because it's my first one from the AD and fits like it's made to measure. I don't really need a date function, timing bezel, etc. I love the utilitarian look of the dial.

My 126710BLRO (of what I currently own).
If we’re talking about one Rolex as a whole, for me would be a WG DD40 meteorite dial, or WG BLRO, either dial.

This question comes up quite a bit. I'm on record as saying if I had to liquidate my entire collection and could only keep one watch (Rolex or other brand) this would be the one. Gives me a timer, date, legibility, good lume, and built like a freaking tank.

Probably either the 16600 or a late 5 digit GMT possibly Exp II 5 digit as well.

Today I say it's 126710BLRO.
I may change my mind after some time.

The SD43 is arguably the very best watch ever made to this day. Ha!

That’s a tough choice. It would be one of these two. Fortunately, I’m not in the position of having to choose one.

For many years I only had one Rolex (many watches, but just one Rolex). I always said that if I had to stay with only one watch, it would be my BLNR GMT Master II

Most any SkyD. Set it once and call it a year. Does everything I would need.
