If you could have ANY Rolex WATCHES which would you choose with only the three following rules:

1. You have to wear each watch at least 10 days a year.
2. You can't sell or give away any of them.
3. You can choose ANY Rolex ever made as well as any Dream Rolex that has never existed.

You can include photos of your dream watches. If you feel like it share with us why you want each watch and how and where you might wear it?

SPACE-DWELLER · 1 May 2008, 05:47 PM

This would be my dream Rolex collection (two of the Rolex watches I have already). Saving some bandwidth, there are pics of some of them:

*SS Daytona 116520 white dial

*Daytona 6263, silver dial, black bezel:

(Source on pic).

*DSSD:

(James Dowling, wristshot from TZ).

*SD 16600

*SD 1665 Red

*Sub Date 1680 Red

*5512

*5513

*14060m COSC:

(Pic from a German watch forum).

*DD 118238, silver dial, SL sticks:

(Pic from an ended eBay listing).

*DJ 116234, siliver dial, SL sticks:

Magik · 1 May 2008, 06:20 PM

I'll play.

1. SS Daytona
2. Sea Dweller Deep Sea
3. SS Submariner-Date
4. SS GMT ll w/all bezels (Pepsi, Coke, Black)
5. Possibly a YG President or Date Just to break the monotony of all the other sports/stainless steel models above.

I believe I´ve already nail it.

And there is a few more now.

I suppose this will never end.

Indeed Mike Wood has what most consider the best collection in existence. That's only a portion of it.

WOW.... What the ****! Jocke and JS, it cannot be true!??!?

I like to have the Newman Daytona, the new Daytona black&white dial, old red Sub, Explorer I 1016 and the new one, GMT II cokde pepsi from 2007, Explorer II orange and my Sub LV

+ a lot of non-Rolex-stuffs like AP RO&ROO&MillenaryMaserati, Patek P. Nautilus Jumbo&Calatrava&Complicated, VC OS&Complications, JaegerLeC, Lange, Glasshütte and Blancpain.

Danovich · 1 May 2008, 09:57 PM

OMG what a Newman Daytona collection :drooling!!!:

SSD · 1 May 2008, 10:06 PM

Err buddies, yeah, you nailed it.

WOW!

topcat30093 · 1 May 2008, 10:43 PM

There are some fantastic photos of some all time classic Rolex watches on this thread.
Well done to everybody.

For me I would have to currently say the following.
1) Y/G DD - Already got

2) S/S Daytona with a black dial - On the waiting list

3) The new DSSD - keeping my fingers and toes crossed

4) Maybe a Platinum DD with the Ice blue dial - but the chances of me getting that are zilch

dopeymuppet · 1 May 2008, 11:20 PM

I'd give my left nut for the Daytona Jac67 has. Absolutely stunning. Would never take it off.

clbcpa · 1 May 2008, 11:36 PM

Gotta be:

6263 Daytona
DSRD
Red Sub
Bond Sub (I mean worn in Connery film bond sub)

Wow.. I just realized these are all vintage pieces.. Hmmm. Maybe add a 16610 for everday.

philr_1@hotmail.com · 2 May 2008, 11:55 PM

I was fortunate to buy my Ultimate Rolex in Feb of 1987 for $900.00 from Bailey Banks and Biddle in Kansas City.

As you can see it is quite worn, because I've worn it nearly everyday since I bought it back then. It is viturally indistructable.

Other choices are as follows.
SS Datejust with machine bezel and jubilee bracelet.
Platinum Day/Date with a jubilee bracelet.
Any Daytona

Thanks

acce1999 · 3 May 2008, 12:24 AM

That's a wonderful watch, looking exactly as it should: Well used! I am twenty years behind with this one:

But well on track with this one, that has seen a lot:

Obviously I favor Explorers.

Best,

A

TempoKing · 3 May 2008, 12:54 AM

bsodmike · 3 May 2008, 02:22 AM

My list is rather simple,

1) RG DJ with Pink Diamond Dial, already have it
2) TT GMTIIC, already have it
3) Plat DD on President with Ice blue Glacier Diamond dial - next!
4) RG DD on President
5) WG Daytona, on bracelet or strap with Meteorite Dial.

That would be my complete collection, at which point I plan to diversify :)

briantheartist · 3 May 2008, 02:35 AM

For me:

1. SS GMT IIc
2. Day-Date (Platinum-Meteorite Dial)
3. SS Sub
4. Datejust (Gold & Steel-Fluted BZL/Jubilee Brace)
5. Prince x3
6. Daytona (a steel and a white gold)

Beef · 3 May 2008, 04:20 AM

I've got everything I want except a GV and DSSD. I didn't initially want either, both because of the relative massive sizes, but now want both. Now the only thing I would want after those would be updated EXP and EXP II's if they are ever updated.

warrenmich · 3 May 2008, 04:59 AM

You know you can buy multiple straps for ONE Rolex sport watch right? You don't have to buy a Rolex for each strap you want!

BEEEEUTIFUL collection!
