My favourite will always be my first, the Datejust 16234 and I would keep this one if I had to get rid of all my other watches.

I tend to wear my Datejusts and TT watches for the work week and wear my the other ones for the weekend.

I have two. My first was a Z series Sub Date 16613 yg/ss two tone blue dial that I bought pre-owned a got a great deal on and it was mint. Such a beautiful piece. My Movado Tungsten Fiero chrono was my daily wear since it won't scratch. The sub was only worn for special occasions / dress up. Bought 2 Omega's, one speedmaster date (since sold it) and one Seamaster PO 2201.50.00 which became my daily wear watch. Just recently got a Z series Yachmaster 16622 ss/plat and that is pretty much my daily wear now.

It's tough to answer the "favorite" question. I can't sell the sub date 16613 becuase of the deal, and its such a beautiful piece and it was my first Rolex. but its a little too much flash for daily wear. So the Yachtmaster ss/platinum 16622 ranks slightly higher due to the practicality and that its an understated yet classy look.

Thought about selling the Seamaster PO, but now I'm gonna change the band to give it a new look/feel. I def should sell the Movado.

I would, however sell everything for a Rolex Skydweller in white gold. Oh that watch. def my holy grail watch.

The blue/black GMT is beautiful. Especially with the look of the polished center links on the band. Awesome.

I have four Rolex watches: 114270, 116200 63600, 14060M, and 116710BLNR.

My favorite one is the newest one, until the honeymoon is over, then I really view them all pretty much the same and then my favorite one is the one I'm wearing.

I just like watches and a new $30 watch might put the Rolex watches on the back burner for weeks or it might be a $130 watch or a $700 watch.

I think that the four Rolex watches I have will suffice.

They represent a broad spectrum of uses and occasions and moreover, I'm not inclined to move into the five digit range for watches.

My fave out of two Rolexes is my 216570 Polar. As John Cleese would say
"It's only PERFECT!"

I have two, but my favorite far and away is the blue DJ2. If I had to reduce down to 1, that would be the keeper.

I currently have 8. Seven saw equal wrist time until THE SMURF came along. My favorite is definitely that one!!!! Dr. Tom was right. Once you have a PM Rolex, you won't want to wear anything else.

I have two. I have a tt Dj 116233 and a 16610 sub date. I love both. If I could only wear one it would be the DJ. Just personal preference. I am wearing my sub right now, but in the morning I know I'll go for the DJ. The sub is more of a nights and weekend watch for me.

Most of the time here lately it's been this one though...
I love the 5 digit models but this new SD 4000 reference is just freaking awesome!

More than one? Yes... but entrenched in the Submariner... have the date model in both current and previous versions, and the 50th anniversary. And my preference is for the non-date Sub, of which I also have the current ceramic model and the 2-liner... some day I may branch way out and get a deep sea!

14060M is the favorite at the moment... The 16570 polar is the girl that got away from me... but I got her a few months ago. It's a close second.

I have only 3 and will wait until the Aussie $ is a lot higher before I buy the next one from a TRF trusted seller.
I reckon you can have up to 7 before you have to admit you are a collector.
I would want to wear each one at least once a week.

If I could have only one it would be a GMT IIC.
