What Rolex would you buy if you could buy only 5 of them?

Glamorama says it all.

YG DD40 Silver Diagonal Motif
WG Pepsi Meteorite
Platona
DSSD JC
RG Sky Dweller Rhodium

Day-Date, GMT, chronograph, diver, and an annual calendar, all metals represented, no redundancy. Perfect collection.

[Stew7]

I’d go with a modest collection.

Sea Dweller 1665 Single Red
Daytona 116599 RBOW
GMT Master 116759 SARU
Submariner 116659 SABR
Day Date 228396 TEM

[daOnlyBG]

As long as we're dreaming,

1. GMT-Master II 126710BLRO (procured)
2. Chronographe 4113, "Split Second Chronograph," (1 of 12)
3. Daytona 6241, "Paul Newman," lemon/white tri-color dial
4. GMT-Master 1675, "Fuchsia"
5. Submariner 5513, "Hafez Al-Assad Milsub"

Of course, this thread is useless without pictures, so here goes:

Rainbow Daytona 116598


It's just all about health, happiness & family. The rest are just necessary inconvenience we have to deal with.

Paul Newman’s actual daytona
Sean Connery’s actual submariner from James Bond
Sir Edmond Hilary’s actual OP that climbed Everest
James Cameron’s James Cameron

.... and my own TT DJ 41 of course.

DD40 meteorite dial, Plat Daytona, Pepsi WG, RG Skydweller, Cellini Moonphase

All of my dream top 5 watches would definitely be Vintage watches only, in this order:

1) Rolex Daytona 6239 Paul Newman (black dial)
2) Rolex Daytona 6263 big red (black dial)
3) Rolex Submariner 1680 red sub (meters first)
4) Rolex GMT 16750 (matte dial)
5) Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 5402

This is simply the ultimate dream watch collection, imo. Modern watches does nothing for me and nowhere near as beautiful as vintage.

[pigman08]

16710
214270
14060M- 4 line
16570- White
16520- White

I already have the first two. The second two are reasonably easy to obtain. The fifth one is more or less a pipe dream, but it’s a nice dream.

Good collection, but the YM is no Diver.
It‘s waterresistant to 100m like any other Rolex. Only Sub, SeaD & DSSD are true Divers.

[rw2008]

White DaytonaC
WG Pepsi
YG Sub Blue Dial
RG YM Oysterflex
Plat DD40 Blue Diagonal

[Flex368]

I´d only need four:

SS Sub, YG Sub, a DD40 and a SARU GMT.

[crazymcmichael]

modern explorer 2 white
vintage pepsi
kermit
seadweller 4k
explorer 1

this collection would be awesomeness!

[datejustrms]

RG DD40 Olive Dial
RG Sky-Dweller Rhodium Dial
WG Daytona Blue Dial
WG GMT Meteorite Dial
SS Ceramic Sub Date

Fair enough should have said "diving inspired." I'm not a diver so the water resistance thing isn't a huge deal- prefer fly/conventional fishing and downhill skiing as my activities of choice

[leooooo]

Daytona, sub, explorer, gmt, SkyD. No real preference to configuration, but will opt for a mix
