Even though the Sub Date is one of the given factors in this equation, for me at least, which do you think is the ideal 2 sport Rolex combo?

ArcticMoose · 21 July 2010, 11:43 AM

Sub Date and YM SS/Pt!

If that is not an option, second choice would be Explorer II. Also, I'd prefer LV over Sub Date.

scl6118 · 21 July 2010, 11:44 AM

Sub date and IIC!!!

mike · 21 July 2010, 11:48 AM

A diver and the GMT has always been my favorite combo. I tend to prefer the GMT over the EXP II for it's versatility with the rotating bezel though that's strictly a personal choice.

The diver could well be the DS as the 60 minute insert is something unique to modern Rolex divers though again it's personal preference. The thickness of the watch might be a detractor to some--answer Sub.

wholesaleneon · 21 July 2010, 11:57 AM

I vote sub date and GMT but no ceramic

belk7 · 21 July 2010, 11:58 AM

If all of the bases are covered Mike, why do I still want another one (insert subliminal 1675 reference here)?

psv · 21 July 2010, 12:00 PM

I guess I should have added an additional choice: Sub Date + vintage.

RoleXavier · 21 July 2010, 12:00 PM

I own a 16610LV V series, very sporty watch!...

My second choice for this "combo" would definitely be the Explorer I...

Not sure between the 36mm or the 39mm though?

Does anyone knows if the new 39mm will replace for good the 36mm, or will it

be offered in the two sizes?

Rolex Freak · 21 July 2010, 12:02 PM

Sub + Exp II.

bluemartinifan · 21 July 2010, 12:05 PM

I guess we are all biased on this one

14060 for weekends and 16710 for weekdays..

sakuraba · 21 July 2010, 12:05 PM

My ideal would be an LV + Pepsi combo, but since it wasn't an option, I voted for a Sub and white Explorer II.

psv · 21 July 2010, 12:09 PM

Sub Date = Sub LV AFAIAC

AK40DJ50 · 21 July 2010, 12:17 PM

Sub Date and GMTIIc

Speed · 21 July 2010, 12:18 PM

Hmm. I have the Sub Date +. GMT II Pepsi Combo...but either of those + a Daytona would be smashing as well!

mhmfao · 21 July 2010, 12:26 PM

ALCON,
My ideal would be a 16600 SD and a 116660 DSSD.
V/R,
Mike

sleddog · 21 July 2010, 12:24 PM

A very subjective question with lots of combinations and choices forces me to vote for "All" the rolex sport line!!

bahrenj · 21 July 2010, 12:29 PM

sub date and GMT II but no ceramic in either should be a choice for those not fond of the c bezel.

PeteNYC13 · 21 July 2010, 12:34 PM

Can I do a write in vote?!

jldc · 21 July 2010, 12:45 PM

I don't own a two Rolex combo, but I bought an Eplorer II with the plan of adding a Sub Date. This will get me both a white and black face, both two time-zone and dive-watch functions, and a stereotypical and "under the radar" rolex. There is some chance I might go with a Deep Sea or older Sea Dweller, but it will probably be a standard Sub Date. A ceramic all-green Hulk or a Datejust II with green romans might be a later purchase, but now I'm getting ahead of myself.
