I would buy the greatest wristwatch ever made
dressy and sporty
rolex submariner - and save the rest of the cash

Watch Rob · 25 January 2021, 02:02 PM

Sub date

ferrissteve11 · 25 January 2021, 02:07 PM

I'd get the most $$$ watch currently available or in the collectors market. Sell it off, buy one watch and pocket the rest of the cash. Being that's not realistic....I've been a 1 watch guy for a while and its always been a diver. Sub, DSSD, and now what I think is the one/ finally done (for me) the SD43.

Fun question OP.

Agree. OP39 most definitely.

synrrgy · 25 January 2021, 02:20 PM

I’d probably get the new Sub-Date.

Tensai · 25 January 2021, 02:23 PM

The GMT Master2 LN, either the 116710 or 16710 depending on your preference.
All black and goes with everything.
Classic.
Priced within your budget.
Very similar to submariner, but a more interesting complication and super useful for travel.

mrjlawl3r · 25 January 2021, 02:48 PM

Honestly, I think the Explorer 1 214270 Mk2 is the perfect one-watch collection. In fact, I just traded mine away and am kicking myself. In the market for another as we speak.

The watch is sporty/tooly enough to dress down and simple/elegant enough (the bezel is amazing!) To wear with anything short of a tux. 39mm perfect size for my big-ish 7.5” wrist (I usually wear 41-44) and the most comfortable tapered oyster bracelet. This is the watch for someone who doesn’t need strangers to know s/he is wearing a Rolex.

It would have to be the DateJust 16014 for me! Just a perfect all around watch for me!

StevePirates · 25 January 2021, 04:41 PM

A 2006ish 16613. Goes with everything, classic proportions, and at $10K, you’ve got money left to buy a nice suit and shoes.

DCheeta · 25 January 2021, 04:54 PM

The Explorer would be the perfect one watch for my lifestyle.

leed · 25 January 2021, 05:17 PM

OP34 or BB58, tough call to choose one

A year of working from home led me to just wear my sub on rubber strap for comfort no keyboard scratching

Muzikman · 25 January 2021, 06:46 PM

If it’s got to be just one, then has to be my trusted SS black Sub date. So far have worn with everything. Suits, jeans and tee, formals, shorts etc. infact that’s the reason I bought the black sub in the first place. As don’t know when will the next one come and so wanted a versatile watch and what better than a sub!

I’d do exactly the same. I might be swayed to a old school Sub Date but definitely one of those two.

Yea, I just can't imagine my only watch not having a date, that would eventually drive me mad.

I had a 16610 as a daily for many years and it was great, but the difference in comfort between that and a DJ was noticeable. Maybe it's just my wimpy wrists.

Watch has to be able to go with anything, casual and suits. Outfits would be black or blue so gotta go with both.

What size wrist?

Yeah the comfort aspect is a big point, the 36 size certainly wins there. Think I’d go for a jubilee on the DJ as well - got a hankering for a modern jubilee in the collection. Now just to pick between black and blue.

The age old question...

Rolex GMT Master II, reference 16710. Probably black bezel, for versatility (black goes with anything). If possible, also procure the “Coke” (red/black) and Pepsi (blue/black) bezels.

Classic. Timeless. Practical.
