If money was no object... which Rolex would you pick for...

If money was no object... which one Rolex watch would you pick for your SO? your son/daughter? Yourself?

At the risk of shocking a few, I think I think I'd pick:

SO: Lady DJ (pink gold, smooth, roman)

Son: Sub Date (SS)

Daughter: Med DJ (TT, flut., roman)

Me: DJ (SS, smooth roman)

Well it certainly would not be a modern day Rolex, a very simple 1930s early 1940s Rolex Prince doctor style dial, pref S.steel but would have a silver or a TT if price was right.

I have seen the ladies version of my watch and it is simply stunning, so one day a lucky lady will have this... only lady-ized.



Son, I would have to go with the full gold Submariner
Daughter, a platinum ladies DJ

They have to wait until they graduate, though.

Me... I want the Zebra, or this... or both

Mike, you have just shown me the most beautiful Rolex I have ever seen. Is that a 6036? We'll have to share it.
