What would be your next Rolex...?

Afternoon all!

So, if you had the money to buy a brand new Rolex, what would it be...?

I'd be interested in hearing your responses.

Cheers,
Simon

P.s. I think I'd go for a Daytona. Before viewing this forum, I didn't really take to them. But now, I think the SS Daytonas with the black faces look fabulous. Of course, I still love the Sub Dates, but these watches really 'cut the mustard'...!

If money were no object, this is the only other Rolex I would want.

Not brand new but second hand either a maxi dial 5513, or a Rolex marked Tudor chrono. If I have funds though my next purchase will be Omega speedmaster as I am being priced out of the market for Rolex

I wouldn't say no to a Daytona either... But most probably, my next rolex will be a sub

Does it have to be brand new? I like the older GMT's but for a brand I would be a 16613,and a SS Daytona.

Easy...

A Sea Dweller-Something about the toolish, simplistic look really gets me. Realistically, I'll be getting a Datejust...

If money were no object, probably a Daytona. If money were a factor, another sub. I already have a Milli GV, a GMT 11c, a Bleusy and a DSSD.

Nothing in the modern day Rolex line up gets me excited, at a push perhaps the new GMT 11C but not particularly for the ceramic bezel.

Most likely will be the new SS Sub Date when it is finally available.

Nothing new for me, but I would be happy with either a COMEX SD or a DRSD with all the goodies!

Great choice! If only it had the date...

My choice would probably be the GMT-Master IIC. In my opinion, it's the most functional, and it's one of the top 3 best looking Rolex watches. Hopefully it will be mine by June 2009.
