Which would you have if money was no limit?











Which would you have out of these?

I would not feel comfortable wearing a Submariner or Daytona.

Of these, I'd pick the Daytona with white dial on strap, though I'm not crazy about arabics.

None of them, but if I really had to pick one, the blue one.

None of them, sorry. Money no object I'd get a YG GMT IIC or a WG DD II. When it comes to TT watches, I'd pick a TT GMT IIC over the TT Sub-C. The blue dial with gold combo makes too much of a statement for me.

I like the way you think



Although me personally, I like a statement piece

None of those. I'd go for a Leopard Daytona or stick with my GV. Everything in between just looks like a Rolex!


But, we can't discuss taste.

I think you have to go with the one that resonates with you. I'm sure you have one that speaks to you just a little more...

Of the ones there, hit me up with the 116523, although I would prefer the blue Arabic dial (nice as the panda dial is!). The underrated black sheep of the Daytona family which, ironically, is rarer than the 116520

White face Daytona on a strap gets my vote.

First I'd have an A. Lange rose complication and Vacheron Constantin Tour de I'lle.

In terms of new Rolex, I'd have an Everrose Daytona, GMT IIc yellow gold with green dial.

In terms of vintage Rolex, I'd have a DRSD, 5517 milsub, and Paul Newman Daytona.

Having all of the above would be Nervana!

Either the TT daytona or the gold one on strap(no diamonds)

But if money was no object....it would be the YG daytona w/ black "Paul Newman" dial,
champagne sub-dials, black strap!

I like them all in their own way and since money is no object, I'll take them all.

Sorry none of the above. If money were not an issue, I'll get an Everose Daytona like this one.

If I had to pick two. It would be a beautiful 1680 Red Submariner and an 18K Two Tone GMT Master II. I would give the GMT Master II to my Dad.
