Ranking my collection from fave to least fave...

From time to time I get the whole bunch together, round em' all up and sort them from favorite to least favorite (probably not a normal behavior but anyway )
Thought I would share my current ranking with you other Rolex lovers as it stands just now...



Number one right now is YG 1601 on rivet due to its lean appearance...



Next five:




Last five:



The least like able is the 6694 due to its small size.

Would you rank them in the same order?

Very nice Coll' by the way, Very nice

Very nice collection and and a very nice top 5. Damn, hard to rank a top 5. It's easier to select a bottom 5 and I think I would have exactly as you have ranked them.

It's always interesting to see people's tastes. Great collection by the way. The GMT would be further up that list in my rankings, but that said at least 5 of those watches wouldn't be in my collection.

There's no right or wrong answer, that's the best bit.

Love the swedish day wheels.

I have been looking for nordic ones for the last couple of months for my 1803.

Nice collection!

Great collection. Very admirable. Surprised to see the 16710 LN so far down the list, and the TT DJ on jubilee. Those are both Rolex classics.

If I were to rank those, they would just be stacked on each other, all tied for first. Nice lineup!

Lovely collection, have you considered selling off your least favorite for other watches you would like more?

Great collection; love all your choices. Curious why no Daytona? Strangely, although 34mm I love the 6694 for just that reason. Also curious about how you make decisions on what to wear? Finally on the low ranked GMTII why not get a different bezel insert as they came with three different choices. It would be good to see a listing of them as well. Thanks for sharing the collection.

Thanks for all compliments guys! A Daytona is something that I am definitely considering. Thinking about flipping my 16628 for a 6 digit YG Daytona in the future...

I am using all of my watches besides the 6694 that my wife is using most of the time so I am not considering flipping any of the other one at the moment...

Why I am ranking the 16710 so low is because I don't like the smaller lume dots and the shiny dial. I am more into the matte dials right now. I have all three different inserts for it but still can't really get to like it so much.
It was my first Rolex and purchased new from the AD so it's hard to get rid of it...

I rank too when itching to make a move, bottom quartile at risk so portfolio is constantly upgraded. I'm not normal.

You could wear a different watch everyday for two weeks and still have one left over. I would have a hard time figuring out what to wear ... What a collection beautiful thanks for sharing!
