True, and the same reasons I like my 14060 Sub.

The old reference PN or YML Daytona on oysterflex, the best Yellow gold pieces imo without being to loud and in your face.

Having tried on the 42mm titanium Yachtmaster at an event it could end up being my fave (from my Pepsi GMT). It’s understated, a bit different, sits flat on the wrist, is easy to read and the titanium metal had a warm feel. I could see myself wearing it all the time, if I ever get one.

So many choices. From my own small collection, if I could only keep one, I'd go with the 1680 Submariner Date as my favorite.

If I could choose any favorite from all of the models, I'd go with a 1665 double red Sea Dweller for vintage. For modern, it would be either the 126506 Platinum Daytona or the 126619LB WG Submariner Date.

Without a doubt my 16710 Pepsi; two time zone complication, jump hour hand, multiple bezel inserts and choice of Oyster or Jubilee bracelet.

This one is my favorite. Flies under the radar, is a great travel companion.



Or perhaps this one... It was my first.




Maybe this... It travels well too.

Maybe I´m boring but I love 5-digit Subs. My everyday watch is a 14060 2-liner. But I´d love to own a GMT "Rootbeer"! That´s a beautiful watch...

My GMT Meteorite. The dail is just out of this world and the heft of the white gold is superb. And i love it that it’s more under the radar than yellow or rose gold. If you know you know.

Probably my D-Blue. I've had one since introduction in 2014 and it's one of those watches which for me, I just bond with. That domed crystal, engineering excellence, wrist presence and of course that gradient dial.
Some of my favorite memories though have been made with my BLRO and it's right up there with it.

My favorite has to be my 116503 black/diamond dial Daytona. It was my first Rolex, so it has a great meaning to me personally, having wanted a Rolex since the mid 1980s.

As a daily, it might be my 16610 Sub. It is just perfect for almost anything I could throw at it. Dress down, dress up, dress right in the middle - it's perfect.

As for the perfect one I don't have yet - it would have to be a Day-Date. This morning I tried on a DD40 and was surprised at just how good it felt. I really kind of leaned toward the traditional 36, until I tried it on. What a great watch!!

Surprised that no one mentioned 116506 or 126506. The platinum daytona is a watch to be seen - and held - in order to understand how different it is with others.

My all time favourite is my first Rolex, the 16600 Sea-Dweller which I gave to my son for his birthday a few years ago and he now proudly wears and enjoys.

Of my current collection probably my 126600 Sea-Dweller but all the rest are a close second
