Favorite Rolex, pick only one?

I know this topic has been presented multiple times so if you don’t like the thread, don’t look. My favorite Rolex has changed 2x in the past two months. Currently my favorite Rolex is the BLNR. It’s scary how much I love it! Perfect color scheme and it can dress up and down very nicely. When I’m wearing it I look at it numerous times throughout the day. What’s your ONE favorite Rolex????

Favorite stainless would be the new Pepsi. Favorite PM would be platinum DD40 with blue diagonal motif. I don't own either now but hopefully both in the not too distant future.

What? It is not enough I had to pick one women to spend the rest of my life with, now I have to pick only one watch as well??? ;-)

If I can have whatever I want? A military Sub 5517 maybe. Or a Daytona 6263? Comex Sea-Dweller? Modern one and only? You can never go wrong with a 114060 no date Submariner.

But who are we kidding here???

116508 Daytona w/ black dial and champagne counters, if I had to pick one. But I’m not going to be able to do it.

18038 - the tapestry of Rolex's creativity

For me, it is the 18038 - single-quickset Day Date. Rolex was at its most creative, dial-wise, during this period. The 18038 was outfitted, by special order, with stone dials, pave dials, guilloche dials, baguette ruby, sapphire or emerald bezels...

It's my favorite Rolex. Thanks for asking!

The Rolex GMT Master 1675 has the perfect proportion and colors.

114060. The Supercase size and the combination of the conservative 40mm dial just works on my wrist perfectly. I get a masculine and modern watch, while having clear classic DNA. It's not oversized in anyway, at least not for a younger guy like me that is surrounded by watches that dwarf mine, and it is just perfect.

Maybe a 41mm size with slimmed down lugs would work better, especially for strap versatility but on the wrist this watch just works as long as you leave it on the bracelet.

Love the clean and classic No-Date symmetry. I'd consider a date if it was offered without a cyclops. I know there is the SD but the extra thickness and weight aren't for me. Also, I prefer the bezel on the Sub and the ink-black dial works better with the Ceramic.

Most of all though, it's the durability and modern reliability. Sure, I'd love a 5512, 5513, or 1675 but they are just not practical.

Great choice Eddie. That's a special 16600

Mine changes from time to time.
