Which Rolex would you take on a Zombie Apocalypse?
Watching Z-Nation on Netflix the other night, it led me to seriously consider which watch I would take if I could take 1 with me for survival and I thought this would be a funny poll to post. For me its the daytona for timing.

I guess this would be the one watch you can't live without idea. Maybe a YM2 cause it has a timer on it, so you can time a person to see if he/she will change into a zombie.

Id actually want the least complicated most durable. You wouldnt be able to find a watch repair guy anytime soon. So basic sub, sea dweller or deep sea (mainly because it can likely take bigger impacts).

I would prefer my G-Shock to any Rolex in the event.
I voted for the DSSD because it seems like it could take the hardest beating and keep ticking |

1680 on the left and SKX007J on the right. If the Rolex dies the Seiko will keep on going.
As advised by the department of redundancy department, always have a back-up. |

I would take my SD 4000. Rugged tool watch with thicker crystal.

None. I would go with a G-Shock from Casio.

Daytona and a g-shock with bearing and compass. Still gotta have class, zombie or not.
Personal time For whatever reason you want. When the zombie apocalypse comes, will you really care what time it is somewhere else? Will you live underwater to avoid zombies? Do you care if it's Monday or Friday, or Feb or Nov? |

I was thinking the new Explorer 2 with the 3187 improvements for impact (recoil or rugged encounters).

The more robust and bulletproof, the better. Therefore the DSSD. I like the idea of a G-Shock but it would have to be solar powered, and even then I'm not so sure - in every zombie apocalypse movie I've ever seen there never seems to be much sunshine.

As zombies don't exist, the question is irrelevent. :)

Easy.
DSSD. It can do the most damage. All jokes aside, I would never take any mechanical watch into a life or death situation. Give me a solar powered g-shock. |

I used to believe in the tooth fairy, but never in zombies. My absolute favorite watch is my Y series all black GMT-II, bought new in 2003 and never been serviced. So that's the one I would take with me on any travel.

Believe it or not, this isn't the first time this question has come up...
I'm going to go DSSD this time. (Don't remember what I voted before) My rationale: you could seriously hurt one of those zombies with that hunk of metal if things devolve to close quarters. |

I'd probably choose my sub 14060m. It might not be as durable as g-shocks, but then again good luck finding batteries for it couple years down the line. Plus I'd probably have an easier time bartering it for some weapons or food.

Deep Blue, those you can't bash up you can mesmerise with tales of the Titanic.
