Looking for some 2017 input, and there are 3 criteria:

1. Rolex
2. 5-digit references only
3. Preferably colors (either dial and/or bezel insert)

Any suggestions?

Have these p.t.:

luvsub · 31 December 2016, 03:28 AM

These are beautiful. I like 5 digits SS, would add 16570 white dial.

HL65 · 31 December 2016, 03:32 AM

I'd look at Tony Geha's 16718 Rootbeer. It would be perfect compliment to your 16618.

droptopman · 31 December 2016, 03:33 AM

Awesome trio! Beautiful examples. I agree with above a nice 16570 Polar would fit in nicely with that set up.

Many DJ and DD 5 digit combos for color as well. 16233 champagne or white dial would also fit in nicely.

herts9 · 31 December 2016, 03:34 AM

no black? maybe a 16610 or 16600

or go off the grid and get a black bay bronze or orange bezel planet ocean

Yes

Meme-Dweller · 31 December 2016, 03:43 AM

Maybe the silver-dialed Yachtmaster I 16622?

Agreed. Something like this:

Even better if on jubilee...

OH! that gold root beer would fit in very nice with your collection.

arinsd · 31 December 2016, 04:56 AM

16610 and add a colorful strap. Haha

EXP2 polar is crying to be in that pic.

DeeTee · 31 December 2016, 05:25 AM

I had the root beer. It's one of those watches you love until you put it on.
Fastest flip ever.

You already have the staples (GMT + LV)

Here is my recommendation: The Zenith

You will be solid for 2017 and beyond!

Here is my A serial

Loevhagen · 31 December 2016, 05:41 AM

Thanks.

Status report so far:

- 16570 white dial: I have this already (via my wife)
- 16520 Zenith: Cool and classic watch, but legibility is fairly low and not that colorful. Besides it is not that different from my wife's 116520 white dial

To be pursued:
a) Rootbeer: To be checked
b) DJ/DD: Will check and so many variations

buenosdias · 31 December 2016, 05:46 AM

16713 brown sunburst dial (eye of the tiger) or 16753 (eye of the tiger, too)

DCheeta · 31 December 2016, 06:04 AM

I agree with the root beer GMT. I think it would fit in beautifully.

DeeTee · 31 December 2016, 06:14 AM

Nice 116520!
I have both the 116520 + 16520 and they wear completely different. (Maybe consider black dial)

BTW who cares about legibility we have cell phones

Have you considered venturing out to AP/Patek/ALS, you already have a stunning Rolex collection.

Here's my root beer, got rid of it so fast I don't believe I took any more pics with it

sensui · 31 December 2016, 06:21 AM

I'm voting for the zenith (16520) or polar exp2 (16570).

red1108nyc · 31 December 2016, 06:24 AM

16520 A with the brushed case and thinner markers is a winner and in white.

Amex4711 · 31 December 2016, 08:28 AM

I Love the 16610LV

dr35mm · 31 December 2016, 08:39 AM

Just the right amount of color. 16622

Why no 4 digits? A red 1680 or gilt 5513 would look great with those.
