What Rolex would you want for a one watch collection

If my watch , SD43 . If any Rolex , SD43 .

[bob101]

A GMT 1675 or 16700 would be perfect but would be happy enough with a 16800 matte dial or a 5513 or 14060 two liner.

There aren’t many perfect watches but this is sure one of them IMO.

Hard to argue that logic!

I would wear a 116610LN every day if I had one.

[Dave O]

If I had to chose only one, it would be my Daytona on OF. A close second is my GRNR followed by my classic Sub date.

[Ravager135]

My 124060 would be the only Rolex I would keep if I had to abandon the rest. I just think it's the perfect representation of the brand.

I might as well have a one watch collection because it’s pretty much all I wear. I have just over a dozen other watches - many of them very nice, but I love wearing the Explorer the most. It’s the reference standard for a GADA to me.

Mines a 39, and incredible…

I don’t think there is a wrong answer; but, Polar Explorer II 16570.

Same on both counts!

116710LN

My first Rolex. An old one but good one. Been around the world with me. Was my daily for years then it sat for a few years and now it’s back as my daily. I appreciate its understated vibe.

My answer will likely change after lunch today, but at this moment, I think it would be a 36mm Platinum DD
w/ baguettes.

For a DD with diamonds, I think it’s wildly versatile, special and a rare bird. All factors I value in a “one and done.”

Ironically, a watch I don’t even own. Hold my beer…..

Of course, I just pondered this same question just before Christmas. At this time in my life, my age, my work dynamics ( 120+ days a year in SE ASIA) it just made sense for 'me' to get a DJ41, WG, ( even though I went with diamond on black indices) .

I wanted something with a small amount of bling, but not too flashy. Something dressy,yet so can be worn casual.

[subkrawler]

Probably my 14060M. It’s a two-liner (non chronometer) so with the aluminum insert and rattley bracelet, it’s the last Sub to have an original ‘50s feel. I can still time dives with it, yet it’s thin and dressy enough to go with a blazer or suit. Bonus that I have good memories of the hunt for it, since I found it at a mom-and-pop AD a few years after it was discontinued.

I will be in the minority here but my 224270 :)

Easy. I only have one Rolex, a GMT Master.
And it happens to be my favorite.
If I ever purchase a Rolex, it will be another GMT Master, be it a II, III, or whatever iteration. And it would almost certainly be blue/red.

[carwash66]

For me, it would be my SD4K. Hands down, no doubt.

[wgdaytona]

If it was one only... Then it would be the 116519.

Thanks man!

I’m actually headed to China tomorrow on a business trip and this is the watch I’m taking.

One watch is a possession, more than one watch is a collection.

My tastes have changes over the years, 6 years ago I would have said 116600 sea dweller, but today it’s 116710/126710.
