My favorite modern reference remains the 116600. It fits my wrist perfectly and I love the matte dial, absence of cyclops, understated crown guards and bezel symmetry. It is one I've sold to fund other purchases a few times as I tend to wear give preferential wrist time to whatever is new. As such, it's come and gone on a number of occasions. Which Rolex has been a boomerang in your collection?

Kigan · 17 January 2019, 02:42 AM

BLNR. Sold and realized that in vain. But quickly received the second BLNR.

Chilly Coconut · 17 January 2019, 02:43 AM

Easy. 16710. Will be my daily until I die and it becomes my son’s. Keeps things nice and simple.

Not a boomerang, though. I’m not an idiot and I can experience contentment. Why would I ever sell a watch that I enjoy so much and is so much a part of my daily life?

ras47 · 17 January 2019, 02:45 AM

I'm generally an Omega Speedmaster guy, but I'm forever changing it up to my BLRO 16710.

Strummer25 · 17 January 2019, 03:00 AM

I was trying to wean myself off mine to flip it to fund a purchase, put it on last week hadnt worn it for over a month and have to say the 116600 is just perfect for me.
Back to the drawing board!

Never boomeranged but about to sell 4 watches for 1 PM and I already feel that I will miss two of them. The 116600 and 16570 stays though.

16710 for me as well. The original Rolex that I fell in love with, and consider myself lucky to own one, even if it is a "common" watch!

which one specifically? this is a piece i've often looked at but never pulled the trigger on

sillo · 17 January 2019, 04:59 AM

All of mine.

Stevec14 · 17 January 2019, 05:14 AM

16710. sold it once. Regretted it and now have another. Will not be leaving this time.

HogwldFLTR · 17 January 2019, 06:46 AM

I tried to wear another watch recently (116600)

but keep coming back to this.

bradyb · 17 January 2019, 06:49 AM

Sub or GMT

rmlovett1 · 17 January 2019, 06:50 AM

Agree with Lee ⬆️⬆️⬆️ Platinum Daytona for me!
I’ve moved this watch before, put it away for a while, etc.... always comes back to my wrist...like comfort food for me

Navarino · 17 January 2019, 06:51 AM

My wrist seems to be a constant territory battleground between my BLNR and DaytonaC. A few of my other Rolex watches haven't been worn for months. I don't feel as bad about not giving my Lange Saxonia a lot of wrist time -- I usually reserve that for very special occasions that call for a proper dress watch.

Sublovin · 17 January 2019, 06:53 AM

I fell for the BLRO in 1984 when I saw the watch on Magnum PI. Took me 30 years to get one, but now that I have it the 16710 BLRO is my all-time favorite Rolex.

strafer_kid · 17 January 2019, 11:23 PM

Probably my GMT 16700

Junior_ · 18 January 2019, 12:12 AM

The 114060 I am patiently waiting for my AD to get. Or impatiently.

It's the Hulk for me. I tried to get rid of it once.... Then just had the agony of trying to buy another one for a few months. I now know better than to sell this one.

Explorer I. I've been wearing the BLNR a lot lately (only had it a few months) but I still love the Explorer. Boring for some, but I am a huge fan of its simplicity...almost purity
