You can only have one Rolex for every day use. Which one do you pick?
These are the two that I love.





If forced I'd pick the black on black sub. What would you guys choose for your lifestyle out of your collection or the Rolex collection?

The most useful SS Rolex for me would be the BLNR GMT. I think it's about as close to the perfect Rolex watch I can get.

Would have to be one with a date, stopwatch, and timezone bezel. So there's only one choice.

Hard to argue with that logic. Great looking watch!

GMT is the most useful feature to me, so GMT II or Explorer II.

Only one? Perish the thought.

If that had to happen it would be a stainless Daytona.

This is a tough one. My first Rolex was a TT Smurf. My newest is a SubC ND. I would have to say the SubC ND, just because it's so plain.

Any Submariner. That Glidelock clasp is the most incredible invention ever; better than the wheel, airplanes, Reese's peanut butter cups and television.
