I actually know multiple ‘watch guys’ who only have one Rolex and it’s always a Sub. To some, Rolex is the best, for lack of a better word, as a ‘beater’ and utilize the majority of their funds towards other brands.
Don’t get me wrong, Rolex is amazing at what they do and holds the value more than any other.....but one has to admit the styling is a bit repetitive. |

Sub SS (you could also argue GMT) Daytona SS - white dial DJ SS jubilee/fluted - pick your dial colour This gives you the best range imo. |

Three doesn’t work well for the hypothesis IMHO.
Any Rolex collector wanting to full monte has to have the land, sea and air combo. Then wouldn’t you also have to throw in a DJ or a DD? |

Sure I do but I don't like colors, don't like complications don't like jewelry and after many years on this hobby, selling a watch is a painful process to me so I stay where I'm comfortable.

Rule of 3

Like the “attainable” filter by Bas above! For me the three “attainable” pieces at this point are: 18239 16610 16622 A fourth one would be a GMT (probably a BLRO or a BLNR) with a fifth one being a chrono (perhaps a Daytona) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Really happy with the trio I ended up with while staying within my budget. It's not the most exciting collection but I love the variety they offer and how each model is unique with no overlap in design.
So far I have: -36mm DJ fluted with hidden clasp jubilee -Sub C Date black -Daytona pre-ceramic with white dial Next on the list to "complete" the collection would be a YG DayDate. Probably not for a long time though but I'll have all the iconic Rolex's after that.

I would have to say for me... being that I have 2 of my 3.. it would be
SD 16600 GMT 16710 and add a DD... 5 digit.

4 watches would obviously be easier (DJ, Sub, GMT, Daytona). If I have to pick 3 I probably skip the Daytona.

There is not way I’ll be able to narrow it down to just three watches. However, I will try-
DD40 GMT IIc LN or BLNR 16570 |

Ah...another You tube video with the secret to life.
If the totality of Rolex could be experienced with 3 watches, then I would have 3. Unfortunately, it can't. |

Are we picking the three most iconic or our favorite three?
Icons...DD, DJ, Sub. Yes, I left the Daytona out. I think those three are far more recognizable to the common person. My faves...DD, GMT, Daytona. |

To me the top two that those not on TRF would know would be the DJ and Sub. As a third I guess I’d add the GMT Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
