Best Rolex to Wear While Viewing An Eclipse?
A Sky Dweller or the rare/obscure Space Dweller would seemingly be the premier choices.

I was supposed to be headed towards Bend, Oregon this weekend but am not because health issues. I was looking forward to seeing my son and his wife as well as the eclipse.

Definitely one that will survive an apocalyptic event. As I am sure everyone knows, when a total eclipse occurs the end is near. When the end comes, whatever that means you should be wearing a watch that is water proof and not sensitive to magnetic anomalies and other things that accompany bad times. So, here on this forum, I guess we are all stuck with the milgause or the new air king.

A Space Dweller looks like a 1016/Explorer. Very limited production.

Watch selections aside, protect your eyes for this event. There are a lot of 'fake' eclipse glasses being sold (i.e. Amazon) and not surprisingly, room/house rentals in the direct path of the eclipse are commanding top dollar (anywhere from $2500 -$10K). Kind of like the Super Bowl.
