Over the past year or so, I've been through several Rolex models looking for "the one" that I can wear for 20-25 years and pass down to my son when he's at the right age. But I haven't quite been able to settle on one -- they all are so tempting and I couldn't resist at least test driving them all at some point

Below are the wrist shots of each of them (do not currently own all, only have the 114270 and 116200 at the moment). I'm looking for something that's versatile enough to wear to the office but on the weekends playing rough with the kids as well.

If you had to pick just one for the next two decades to wear everyday and to every event, which would you go with?

Feel free to suggest a write-in vote as well

Sub no date two liner 14060 or Pepsi GMT 16710. Or Explorer I based on your current line up.

A.I. · 10 June 2018, 04:45 AM

I loved my BLNR.

Just a very nice nice timepiece.

Easy as.

Koala · 10 June 2018, 04:52 AM

I vote the BLNR but the sub would be great too

sugarl4nd · 10 June 2018, 05:10 AM

14060M and 16710 get my vote :)

SLS · 10 June 2018, 05:15 AM

16710

subtona · 10 June 2018, 05:19 AM

14060

douglasf13 · 10 June 2018, 05:22 AM

After owning some of the larger watches, I personally find 36mm to be the best everyday watch, because it stays out of the way and is lightweight. Aesthetically, I prefer the 114270, but I'd probably keep the DJ, because I need a date complication.

Woody · 10 June 2018, 05:23 AM

I would pick the 14060M and looking at the pictures you have posted I think that suits you the best.......but it is highly unlikely that you will be able to stick with just one watch so keep it simple and opt for the one you like most......chances are you will buy/sell others over the next 25 years!! Good luck with your decision.

PLNYC · 10 June 2018, 05:25 AM

16710 or BLNR

Angelis · 10 June 2018, 05:27 AM

I voted Pepsi, but would say Coke.

Rocmytims · 10 June 2018, 05:31 AM

Datejust or pepsi

jimbones43 · 10 June 2018, 05:49 AM

The one YOU want!

buenosdias · 10 June 2018, 05:54 AM

16710 with all 3 bezel inserts (black, blue/red, black/red) + oyster and a jubi.
So you got many watches in one :-)

jb335 · 10 June 2018, 06:12 AM

14060 looks best on you. Closely followed by the blnr and Exp I.

Don’t care for that DJ on you at all.

I know it is not on the list I would go with the olive dial oyster perpetual with the orange accents. You obviously are an extrovert with those colourful tattoos and the colours of the dial would match them perfectly.

puckbw11 · 10 June 2018, 06:17 AM

I’d say BLNR all the way here.

BLNR or LVc, I'm a ceramic guy.

116710ln

Theurbancommando · 10 June 2018, 07:55 AM

IMHO, the oyster band doesn't suit your tattoo's. But, the sub and explorer would look pretty good on a nato or leather strap on your wrist. Your call at the end of day.

jimcameron · 10 June 2018, 07:59 AM

For decades, Rolex is a Submariner.

CoveWatch · 10 June 2018, 07:59 AM

As a one and only.. blnr or sub for me

imagwai · 10 June 2018, 08:04 AM

114270. Perfect size, does everything needed and suits any situation.

rebel_1 · 10 June 2018, 08:17 AM

14060 gets my vote

037 · 10 June 2018, 08:22 AM

I voted BLNR even though it's not my favorite color GMT. The 6-digit GMT is hard to beat overall.

Interesting. I think the explorer looks best with that ink. Then the pepsi (which may look better....I'm back and forth) Then BLNR, then 14060.

TOTALLY AGREE ON DATE JUST. haha

Scottticktock · 10 June 2018, 08:38 AM

16710 for me and have considered the same move, with the 16710 at the top

HERITAGE82 · 10 June 2018, 09:14 AM

I think the Explorer is the best choice. It’s the most versatile and a classic.

DLRIDES · 10 June 2018, 09:23 AM

The BLNR will win the poll due to being one of the latest fad watches, but the Explorer and Submariner are timeless. The Explorer probably being the most versatile of the two.
