lig · 5 April 2017, 01:55 PM

SD4k

ShneaSIG · 5 April 2017, 02:16 PM

Starting from scratch? I'd buy a GMT-c,ln.

Rol604 · 5 April 2017, 02:17 PM

16610

vipereaper30 · 5 April 2017, 02:56 PM

My first was the LV but to do it over again I'd start with my favorite and get the BLRO.

toneafficianado · 5 April 2017, 03:07 PM

Mine was a 14060m which I still have. Love it!
If buying my first now it'd be a Blnr. Perfect "only "Rolex but any Sub, GMT or Explorer would be great.

16520 a bunch of em

Steve36Efc · 5 April 2017, 03:38 PM

If I was going back to the time I got my first I would still pick the GMTII 16710 Coke bezel, if I was choosing my first now I'd go 114060 or BLNR.

dave023 · 5 April 2017, 03:54 PM

A sub

ajas · 5 April 2017, 08:01 PM

Sub

Xerxes77 · 5 April 2017, 08:47 PM

Sub for an iconic Rolex watch!

Onx · 5 April 2017, 08:55 PM

I would go with 16710 too. But if you're only limiting the choice to the ones available new today, I'd say LVc?

kwingy · 5 April 2017, 08:56 PM

My first was a 5 digit Polar Explorer II - I probably wouldnt get the same again.

brandrea · 5 April 2017, 09:03 PM

Great thread

I think I'd start out with a Sports model such as the BLNR or Sub date. Pefect watches for all occasions and great daily wearers

JayB · 5 April 2017, 09:03 PM

My first only 20 months ago was an Explorer, I fell in love with this piece many years ago and wouldn't change it for anything.

brettpaul · 5 April 2017, 09:07 PM

BLNR or 114060

AirKing527 · 5 April 2017, 11:03 PM

16710 or a sea dweller.

samson66 · 5 April 2017, 11:06 PM

My 16710 Coke GMT, which was the second Rolex I picked up. Had I had this one first, it may have wound up being my one and only...

beshannon · 5 April 2017, 11:10 PM

Submariner

kilyung · 5 April 2017, 11:10 PM

Gold GMT.

red.earth · 5 April 2017, 11:13 PM

My first was a polar Exp II (16570), followed by a 39mm Explorer (214270), then the black dial Exp II (16570). If I was starting again today, I'd choose the latest 214270 first ... then I really don't know. I'm currently in the market for my very first Sub (LVc), but I'm sure I'd long for one of the "enigmatic" 40mm Explorer IIs

victorescu · 5 April 2017, 11:15 PM

My first Rolex was a black dial two tone 1601. I love that color combination. Now I have that on my 116523.
If I were to start all over again.................. probably a black tapestry dial in a two tone 16013 / 16233.

Old Geezer · 6 April 2017, 12:32 AM

My first Rolex 25 years ago was a 16610. If I were buying for the first time today, it would probably be a Sub C because I still love Subs.

vladamir15 · 6 April 2017, 12:43 AM

I would not change. The dj2 was a perfect first watch

KDS777 · 6 April 2017, 12:45 AM

Mine is the one that they haven't made yet.

Reglin · 6 April 2017, 12:47 AM

Wouldn't change a thing-
1. TT Date Just
2. ER Sky Dweller

sea-dweller · 6 April 2017, 12:50 AM

It was a 14060, in 1994. If I could do it again, a 16570 or 16610.

hitman23 · 6 April 2017, 12:55 AM

I would have started with 16520 rather than going through 4 others first.

I still feel stupid for passing up the 16600 in it's last year of production for 30% off msrp.

racer24 · 6 April 2017, 01:12 AM

My first rolex was a deepsea, second was SS daytona, third was BLNR. If I were to do it over, I would pick BLNR as my first one.
