I'd go with the 16610! It's gorgeous and goes with everything! Also a diver. The new Sub-C 116610LN doesn't look as great on my wrist as the 16610, the Sub-C is too chunky for my wrist.

jim251 · 29 December 2011, 10:03 AM

For me it's the 14060M - everything I need and nothing I don't - the perfect timepiece...

Milgauss GV.

Understated, classy looks with a hint of Rolex green.

I guess if I had to pick one from my modern Rolex collection it would have to be my gold Sub. It can be a dress watch and casual watch and has a mesmerizing blue dial that captures the eye. Not an easy choice though as I am quite fond of them all! Sorry in advance Stevo!

I'm with Kenneth but one is not nearly enough IMO.

z32turbo · 29 December 2011, 11:51 AM

Sub C for me! Blue TT to be specific!

Psmith · 29 December 2011, 11:56 AM

No-brainer for me

Sub C LN

Go anywhere, do anything

Mickey® · 29 December 2011, 11:59 AM

Man I want to say LV but only because I think the one on the left is MUCH more comfortable I would have to chose it.

I know the one on the right is more "honored" but if I'm picking for me...

rohardi · 29 December 2011, 12:08 PM

116610LN Sub C for me!

chaisson · 29 December 2011, 12:11 PM

A gift for my 50th this month, wife picked it, then told me before my birthday because she wanted to know we were on the same page.......smart woman. It was my first choice after shopping alone. 14060M

psv · 29 December 2011, 12:20 PM

Easy choice, if there could only be one watch on my wrist for the rest of my life, it would be the SubC Black.

Now if we went beyond Rolex, and you could pick just any watch out there regardless of price etc, the new 41mm Lange Datograph looks very tempting...

stockae92 · 29 December 2011, 12:36 PM

Man, that's one of the hardest questions.

I love the Polar Exp II because its the first Rolex that caught my attention when I was little. And I just love everything about this watch.

But then, I absolutely adore the Sub ND , its just tough and oh-so-comfortable. And I wore this one a lot.

.

If I had to choose just one, I would have to pick the Polar Sub II ND .. :D

btrue · 29 December 2011, 12:49 PM

I would choose my GMT again, even if presented with any other watch in the catalog. I travel and I use the second time zone, even the third during layovers. I love the look, fit and feel. I can not imagine a better watch!

Fearsome Puppy · 29 December 2011, 12:50 PM

andrew79 · 29 December 2011, 01:09 PM

too hard !!!

bscepter · 29 December 2011, 01:24 PM

16610. Classic, yet modern. Goes with a tux as well as it goes with jeans and a T-shirt. Rugged and elegant. Takes a licking and, well...

Z-Sub · 29 December 2011, 02:44 PM

Sd 4000

bobbystevenson · 29 December 2011, 02:46 PM

Would have to be this one for all the same reasons as everyone citing the ceramic Submariner. However, this one feels a little different, a little special, without being conspicuous.

LightOnAHill · 29 December 2011, 02:56 PM

its a tie between the one I own and my grail a YG daytona white dial. either works though I wouldn't mind the Daytona to make keeping track of billable hours a tad more exciting than an excell spreadsheet

DD GT3 RD · 29 December 2011, 04:27 PM

X2. I want mine back. It goes with everything. Sporty and classy. Miss the feel of the gold. Looking for one again

And it's taken quite a beating with major trips this year and plenty of beach time at home.... Contrary to much opinion the white gold does not mark that easily and is pretty robust in comparison to my SS models.

The watch will grow old gracefully and I know with all going well in my life I expect to look down at my 80 year old wrist and see it sitting there.

A timeless design. Beautifully crafted dial (especially on this reference) and inside beats an awesome movement.

threemonkeys · 29 December 2011, 05:07 PM

I should be happy with just my GMT IIc as it's an everyday, every event watch. But I can't get the TT blue sub out of my mind. So that would be my watch of choice.

Wehtiko · 29 December 2011, 05:25 PM

From what I've seen... the new Explorer II with the orange arrow and the white face.

JRWoOo · 29 December 2011, 05:46 PM

SD 4000 with lugs.

1665 GW but any Sea Dweller will do

Today it is not possible to leave sentimental values out of it, but fifteen years ago it was. This was my choice then, and would be today too:

Why the 14270? IMHO it goes well with everything I do and wear.

Best,
