Which Rolex has been a boomerang in your collection?

I'm with you on this.

116600 and Black D500 are the only ones I've ever regretted selling

Bort · 19 January 2019, 06:47 AM

1675/3 GMT. Both black dial, one on a Jubilee, and the other one on an Oyster.
Bought & traded away twice.
I'll probably end up with another at some point.

AzHadEnuf · 19 January 2019, 06:53 AM

I have many watches that I would never sell and really enjoy but at the end of the day I always come bake to this one.

RolyMoly · 19 January 2019, 10:26 AM

Sub, Daytona and Milgauss. Whenever I wear something else, I feel like I'm cheating on a woman.

Sold 2 subs, bought a 3rd. Sold a Milgauss, really missed it. Never sold the Daytona, never will

KarlFr · 19 January 2019, 10:32 AM

definitely 5513, keep coming back to them after trading them in for a higher value vintage piece

ReclinerTimer · 19 January 2019, 11:49 AM

cool sounds like this is the watch for you. for me, its my vintage matte black dial datejust. I just think it fits me great and is clean, versatile, and beautiful

Hard_Six · 19 January 2019, 12:02 PM

Ever since buying a WG DD40 (my first full PM piece), I can't seem to enjoy any of the others like I used to. I mean I still love the other pieces don't get me wrong but there's just something about the WG DayDate that has me hooked. I love it. I rotate others in during the course of a week or two but the moment I get home, I find myself swapping immediately to the DD40. It's a perfect watch IMO. It feels great, it looks great, it has amazing heft... just a serious under-the-radar stunner! It won't be leaving the stable that's for sure (the Daytona won't either for what its worth).

Vinyasa · 19 January 2019, 12:21 PM

Keep coming back to the Explorer II 16570... bought the black dial model with a 3186 movement a few years ago. Loved it, but really wanted the polar model. Traded the black dial for a BLNR, which I couldn't love despite my best effort. Finally picked up a Explorer II polar and it will be the last Rolex model I part with.

I've owned many Subs... 5513, 16610, 16613, 14060m, 11619, no longer. I think I'm over Subs. At least for now. I'm developing more eclectic tastes.

Daytonaman799 · 19 January 2019, 12:27 PM

I have had three Glacier Blue Day Dates. I had one in white gold and two platinum ones. I honestly want a fourth!

ralfcom · 19 January 2019, 12:33 PM

pepsi

mosanman · 19 January 2019, 12:38 PM

Sub

Geaux Tigers · 19 January 2019, 12:54 PM

BLNR - I’ve worn the Sub once in the last month. I suppose some day the new will wear off and I’ll show the Sub some love.

mistercoach32 · 19 January 2019, 01:37 PM

BLNR & LVc. I truly don't know if I could pick one over the other.

10klakes · 19 January 2019, 01:57 PM

I’ve yet to sell any of my Rolex. The collection just keeps growing. Every time I put one on I haven’t worn in a while, I feel like I’m reconnecting with an old best friend. So, I keep coming back to each one and it never gets old.

carlhaluss · 19 January 2019, 04:00 PM

I have to say the OP34. I have owned three now. Well, the first one had the name "Air-King" on the dial. I now have an Explorer 1 39mm, my first was the 36mm model. And I miss that as well. I have an SD43 on order, but I know that I will always miss the OP34. Matter of fact, I saw just the one I like best at the AD today, but I am going to wait for a while.

Cheers,
Carl

For me it’s these 2. Everything else has been sold, these two are perfection.

Ditto. I have really fallen for my Explorer, so much so that I think a date + cyclops looks terrible now.

Etschell · 20 January 2019, 05:56 AM

Subc. Now if I can just get a gold subc.

replicator · 21 January 2019, 03:46 AM

LVC for me. I wear it more often than any other watch.

Chope Man · 21 January 2019, 04:18 AM

Any 4 digit or 5 digit Submariner, with a date.

101031-28 · 21 January 2019, 04:24 AM

16600, my favorite since the late 80s. Settled for a 5513 in 1989 because it was cheaper but later on got the 16600 and it is THE one I always go back to. Sold many over the course of the last 30 years and each time ended up buying again, not selling it again

Bryano1028 · 21 January 2019, 04:25 AM

GMT master II, new style ceramic black. Can’t beat it for an everyday watch that goes with everything for every occasion...

Once I pull trigger on YG DD 40, I may say the same thing.

Geaux Tigers · 21 January 2019, 05:20 AM

BLNR - can’t take it off

vince211 · 21 January 2019, 10:10 AM

Sub-c as well here

Odie-r · 21 January 2019, 10:53 AM

GMT LN. I've considered parting with it, but its just such a wonderful part of my everyday life. Even the scratched PCL's! :P
