Select ONE watch, for ONE year, NO rotation

So....which watch would you pick?.....you may take it off during the year but you cannot replace it with another.....you live with it for 365 days...

Personally my selection would be the GMT II C

I wouldn't want to be limited to one, but I would say my Datejust.

Well I only have one, so it'd have to be my GMT, at least its got versatility with different inserts. If I had to choose any from the Rolex line I'd take a daydate.

GMT IIc... This should be a poll. I know that I LOVE this watch, but I had no idea that it is as popular as it appears to be.

That's easy.........A-serial SeaDweller. Drilled lugs, date, perfect thickness and HRV (just in case I need to go sat diving)

Looks great with ANYTHING IMHO.

16600 for me too. But a Daytona ain't that bad either.

This one I guess:



Since I worn this one at least 75% of the time the year before:



But... I really hope that I will be able to continue to rotate, and enjoy more than one watch on a regular basis.

Interesting question though, since this was my daily wearer for ten years:



Best,
