Afternoon all!

So, if you had the money to buy a brand new Rolex, what would it be...?

I'd be interested in hearing your responses.

Cheers,
Simon

P.s. I think I'd go for a Daytona. Before viewing this forum, I didn't really take to them. But now, I think the SS Daytonas with the black faces look fabulous. Of course, I still love the Sub Dates, but these watches really 'cut the mustard'...!

If money were no object, this is the only other Rolex I would want.

john11f · 8 February 2009, 12:53 AM

same as above

356 speedster · 8 February 2009, 01:26 AM

Does it have to be brand new? I like the older GMT's but for a brand I would be a 16613,and a SS Daytona.

Not at all. Feel free to choose a vintage/second hand Rolex.

Thanks for the great responses...keep 'em coming!

Cheers,

Great choice! If only it had the date...

My choice would probably be the GMT-Master IIC. In my opinion, it's the most functional, and it's one of the top 3 best looking Rolex watches. Hopefully it will be mine by June 2009.

Whilte gold Sub....it will be mine before october 2009,period.

Alcan · 8 February 2009, 01:21 AM

Rockrolex's WG Daytona above.

jdc · 8 February 2009, 01:21 AM

Not brand new but second hand either a maxi dial 5513, or a Rolex marked Tudor chrono. If I have funds though my next purchase will be Omega speedmaster as I am being priced out of the market for Rolex

Trurolexer · 8 February 2009, 01:23 AM

DAYTONA SS!!!

stalenhag · 8 February 2009, 01:25 AM

I wouldn't say no to a Daytona either... But most probably, my next rolex will be a sub

yannis · 8 February 2009, 01:27 AM

I think a Sub or DSSD!

ocwatching · 8 February 2009, 02:48 AM

DSSD, GMTIIC or Daytona...sigh...

floz00 · 8 February 2009, 03:00 AM

A Sea Dweller-Something about the toolish, simplistic look really gets me. Realistically, I'll be getting a Datejust...

sea-dweller · 8 February 2009, 03:00 AM

Daytona SS or 18K 16618 Sub (blue face)

Watch Fan · 8 February 2009, 03:38 AM

If money were no object, probably a Daytona. If money were a factor, another sub. I already have a Milli GV, a GMT 11c, a Bleusy and a DSSD.

alphamale2012 · 8 February 2009, 03:39 AM

Sub

FLAJIM · 8 February 2009, 03:53 AM

My next will be a SS DAYTONA white face............I know what watch I want now I just have to come up with the money.......LOL

touchdowntodd · 8 February 2009, 03:53 AM

a DJ or so for the wife

padi56 · 8 February 2009, 03:55 AM

Nothing in the modern day Rolex line up gets me excited, at a push perhaps the new GMT 11C but not particularly for the ceramic bezel.

X2, I'll probably look for the older models

RLXer_WI · 8 February 2009, 03:57 AM

Most likely will be the new SS Sub Date when it is finally available.

ttomczak · 8 February 2009, 05:54 AM

Used GMT Master II with a Pepsi bezel, from 2003 up...

JimSnyder · 8 February 2009, 07:33 AM

14060

or a nice used GMT

RobbRock · 8 February 2009, 07:47 AM

I just got my Dj but now I want to get a sub date really bad!!

chenx15 · 8 February 2009, 04:02 AM
