On steel probably a Submariner, on gold either a WG DD or a WG Daytona

Well played question.

As long as I have my trusty sub in the rotation, bring on the GOLD.

DD40 or yellow gold/Blue dialed sub

Leaning toward the gold sub 2 reasons:

Older versions can be had with lugholes, just like cow bell, I gotta have 'em.

&

I do not believe DD has a double locking clasp (no flip lock on the president bracelet has always bugged me), how can I beat on a watch without a double locking clasp?

1 PM + 1 SS. Because that's what my collection consists of now.

116718 + 116610 = A weekend watch and a daily driver.

I like the PM and SS option. My choice would be the BLRO and SD4K.

For me, these days, the Rolex to own is a white gold Day-Date 40.
Why the 40 over the 36?? I'm stuck deciding between those 2.

I like variety and although a gold Rolex would be tempting I have to go with 4 ss Rolex.

My choices: 14060M, 16600, 116600, 116520. I own those exact 4, two were my Dad's.

I will never get rid of my Dads 14060m and 116520...I'm even hesitant to service them because I 100% do not want them polished because he wore his watches and the marks are his and now mine (as I wear them now).

Easy choice for me as I generally don't care for the PM iterations. I would stick w/ my SDC4K, LVC, and add a White Daytona 500 and a Blue SS Sky Dweller! That said there are a few PM's I wouldn't mind having after that

Cool poll! If choosing from the current lineup, then I'd take a:
white-dialed D500
BLNR
50th anniversary Sea-Dweller
Explorer (214270 MK II)

If I can pick from some of the 5 digit references, then give me:
14060
16710
114270
116600
