While Sub is a great watch, I wouldn't consider its gold version as "one and done".
If you are willing to drop 30-40k for a watch, get a Daytona or a DD40 for weekends and then SS Sub Date as a daily beater. That kind of 2 piece collection I can get behind as a "two and done". :) |

Even after finding a grail (or multiple grails) I still like to have new to me watches that I've liked but not owned. No such thing as a one and done for me. No such thing as a grail satisfying my desired to collect. I ask you, did Indy give up archeology because he found the grail?

Could be for me. Was thinking about doing it with the white gold GMT.

If I was going to do a one and done I think that watch would make sense for me

It can be as it can easily be worn daily and can be worn with suits or t-shirts.
In terms if it's good enough, that depends on the person. For me a 3 watch collection is perfect. |

It wouldn't be for me. I prefer something in SS as a one and done for the durability. But to each their own!

If I was to have only one watch, that would be my choice.

Each to their own, not sure I’d want one watch but if I did I’d still be proud to own a Rolex ..

I could never have one watch, but I could see that. Rolex icon, precious metal for stealth wealth, versatile. I think the minimum well rounded Rolex collection is a Day Date/Datejust/Sky Dweller AND a Submariner/GMT-Master II/Explorer. Pick one of the three from each set and you'll have a perfect pair.

The white gold with blue dial like the post above mine could be a one and done. I'm just not as fond of the current black dial with blue bezel. Looks like a SS Sub someone slapped a blue bezel on. Seems off to me and not as special as the all blue.

It could be. I’d rather have one watch I love than three watches I quite like.
But that one is expensive enough, I could switch it for 3 watches I love so easy choice for me - I’ll take a bit of variety. |

You need to think do you want to worry about having a $44K watch on your wrist all the time. Just wearing a $10K watch makes me nervous enough about losing it, theft, damage, etc. This is typically why at the end of the day I think SS is the way to go, and you get some variety in the mix.
