Since we pretty much know what everybody wants with all the sport model threads we have here (Like how I want a Explorer1 and black dial SS Daytona) lets for the sake of argument say that the Professional line doesnt exist. What would be your next purchase?

I think I would like to get a 16200 Oyster, smooth bezel, with either a Rhodium or white roman dial.

My other choice would be a SS TOG, Oyster, black dial

JJ Irani · 14 July 2005, 04:43 PM

...only the day Rolex come up with a 40 mm DJ....which will NEVER happen.....so I'll stick to the sports range, thank you!!

padi56 · 14 July 2005, 05:11 PM

Well in the modern Rolex range,well nothing really,to make me spent my money.But I do like the new Rolex Prince,but would love what they sometimes call the
doctors watch.Rolex Prince ultra prima late 30s mod 1490 or 971 in S.S.

therashman · 14 July 2005, 06:38 PM

..Got the last of the TOG Blk face oyster (white gold bezel)...nice little gem IMO...its a nice change from my other sporty rollies...but a big difference to my pannies...

dman · 14 July 2005, 09:54 PM

I am with JJ, I need the bigger watch size to compensate for....oh never mind that is an inside thought.

I really do prefer the 40mm range personally, though the DJ's do look perfect on other people, so I might think about it.

14 July 2005, 10:19 PM

If I went non-sport, I'd say either a Glashutte Original Senator Panorama date, in SS, white dial on a black strap.

OR

A JLC MM, exactly like the one Avalon has.

Rockrolex · 14 July 2005, 11:15 PM

In the non-sport catagory, it has to be this one:

JLC Master 8 Day Perpetual in RG.

Ed, that's a schweeeet JLC. I think it's lacking in the complications department though. It needs um.... more complications.

I know what you mean, John. It's missing a chrono. If it had that it would be perfect - Oh, but then it would be a sport watch. Damn. Why is perfection so elusive.

Sam · 15 July 2005, 01:27 AM

Can't say that I'd ever spend my hard earned cash on a dress watch. The only time I dress up is for weddings and funerals.

I do like the looks of some of the Datejusts, but would be much more inclined to buy an Explorer I. For me, I have a small wrist so 36mm is no problem.

Southern Jessie · 15 July 2005, 05:34 AM

an Airking, silver dial.....really underrated watch IMO. Simple, classy dial, and 3130 movement that is also found in the 14060 Subby and Explorer.

Non-Rolex.....I've always loved the JLC Reverso....classic watch and hasn't changed since it was first introduced in the 1930's.

maverick · 15 July 2005, 07:22 AM

This is what I would get. =) maverick

Clifton · 15 July 2005, 10:26 AM

Can't go wrong with a 16200 DJ. Dressy or casual a true classic....

Manatee · 15 July 2005, 10:33 AM

Well, I recently got one of the new-style two-tone Datejusts, and when they show up in stores I plan to get one of the SS models. I'd like to get one with the Concentric dial -- the one with the circles.

The new bracelets feel more solid and well-made than any Rolex has ever made before. I have a hard time taking off the new Jubilee. Even the solid-link Oysters on the Daytona and Yacht-Master don't have the same feel.

I also plan to get one of the upcoming "Prince" models sometime. I hope I'll like them as much in person as I do in pictures.

Woohoo I can make fun of you for once, I did post for the sake of argument pretend the pro line didnt exist!!!

dman · 15 July 2005, 01:28 PM

Roger, JJ is confused now because you are making sense, please stop it.

RogerF · 15 July 2005, 01:32 PM

Sorry D, I'll just keep

until I start thinking the way you guys do

dman · 15 July 2005, 01:34 PM

Not you guys, everyone here is on the same page with you Roger, except El Baldo Kiwiundo. And please do not try to think like that cause then we all will have to

all day long, LOL!!

You mean like this?

Good choice, good choice. I love this combo so much, it looks so good, that it's the only one I have that I'm somewhat afraid of wearing. I just love it's style so much I don't want to scratch it!

As far as what would be next in the non-sports line, it would be a black dialed Datejust with stick markers. This is a watch that is so under-rated, it looks ok in pics, but in person it's really a stunner, just a knockout. You look at it and think "Wow, why didn't I notice this beauty before?"

dman · 15 July 2005, 02:12 PM

Micah that watch is not scratch proof around diamonds though.

RogerF · 15 July 2005, 02:12 PM

Yes Molex you are my idol and I aspire to have a collection like yours LOL

Easy now Roger, let's not inflate my ego more than necessary

Geez, Rudolph! Like with this other one you sure are digging up old threads today!

Anyway, my next NON sport's Rolex purchase will be a DJ 116234 with a silver dial, SL sticks.

Before that, I intend to get the DSSD, however.

vukotab · 27 May 2008, 10:54 PM

I would like to have Day-Date in YG, it`s my grail watch...but I don`t think that such thing will happen soon (because the money, of course), so I hope that I`ll be able to get some nice DJ (in SS), or even OP Date, but new one...

gmt master x · 27 May 2008, 10:57 PM

If the date just was a bit bigger i would get one, i am a fan of the rolex sport line in ss. Tough question.
