Icon10 Post the Rolex that is your "soul watch"

I have only one Rolex, my Sea Dweller. I feel like it was a talisman in my life and a "new beginnings" watch. A friend told me it is my "soul watch" like a "soul mate". I think that is true. Which Rolex watch is your "soul watch" and why?

Wow. When did Rolex go 'New Age'? Does it have something to do with the sapphire 'crystals'? Back to your question, there's no 'soul watch' in my cosmic universe. Just a reliable timepiece.

When I started wearing this as my beater watch to protect the others, never mind its untrammelled beauty, I knew this was my watch for all seasons.

Cheers, it was last year for a few months when I had 4 PM watches, 2 Rolex, 1 AP and 1 PP, and I found myself going for this first. I now have a couple of SS but I'd still pick this over my blue YM, esp as that is pretty new and the bezel is still unmarked.

This, my daily beater as well. I wear it everyday and everywhere (except work, I wear stainless steel at work to avoid excessive flash and hurting feelings)

I guess I'll play. When I bought the Exp II, I ended up getting rid of the rest. Done.

Can I say the platinum coke GMT that is about to be announced?

OK, in all seriousness it's gotta be the BLRO as it is THE watch I've always dreamed of as a professional aviator.

This one and I think I have one more that I will be purchasing in Spring hopefully. My soul is split in 2, possibly 3.
Oh and this one too, not a Rolex though.

I brought her home from the other side of the world, faithfully on my wrist a world of adventures from 66 north to 66 south.
2 decades later, today she runs even better at +1.
My first best single material purchase, it was USD3180 circa 1997 T serial.

This one. It's been all over the globe with me, at my wedding, worn almost daily, stolen from me and recovered and still looks like new.

I haven't had a chance to wear a Rolex daily yet, but I personally think my incoming Exp I 39mm is a good match for me.

It's tough, but this Goldie screams class and elegance in my opinion.
Something magical happens when I put her on 😀

I love all my watches, but my first Rolex (GMT 16700) is my favorite and the watch that has been with me in most special occasions of my life!
