Hi watch owners,

I have a question for all you Rolex owners, and people who are thinking about buying a Rolex. If you genuinely had the money or have the money. In other words you wouldn't be hurting for cash. In two words. What would be your dream Rolex.
The .......

cheers

My dream Rolex is a 1680 Red Submariner. But in reality, I'd want a 16750 Pepsi GMT or a 16610 Sub.

While it may be easily attainable by some, the WG Sub is my dream watch

The more money I had to spend, the less I would want only one. The most expensive Rolex are the least versatile, to me (Daytona, DD, gold Daytona, gold Sub, etc.).

Uhhh...there is a handful of vintage Rolex I'd love to get if I win the lottery lol. Top of my head, something like a Milgauss 6541, DRSD, and GMT 6542. The 116618 yellow gold Submariner with blue face is a guilty pleasure of mine. I'm not a fan of gold sport watch at all, but just for some reason..that watch sings to me.

Meteorite Daytona and one of Jacek's 1675 GMT Pepsis that looks like it has been sitting at the bottom of the ocean the last few decades.

If money no object - maybe a 5514 Comex Submariner

That would take a lot of beating for me
