Zombie Apocalypse hits - which one watch do you want on your wrist?
Silly question I know but let’s hear it! Given that Rolex is known for toughness, durability, and accuracy, which one would you want on your wrist for a survival situation?

My Platona as it would serve dual purpose as a knuckle duster.

That's the grail rolex, one could argue a platona might not be the best metal for fighting zombies though

Nothing else though would pack the wallop.

I have a solar charger and I do not intend to use the watch as a weapon? Or was that the point of the thread?

SD43. But a cellular enabled Apple Watch would be helpful if your phone was lost/destroyed.

Although I love my old tough-as-nails 14060 Submariner, if a zombie apocalypse hit I´d be wearing the Casio G-Shock 5610 I bought earlier this year for less than €100! You´d be hard put to destroy it (typical G-Shock!). I assume that the atomic time signal that synchronises it will carry on broadcasting for years after the technicians have all been eaten! But who knows...?

The answer to a zombie apocalypse is always a solar G-Shock/Pro Trek.

In a zombie apocalypse, it's all about survival. As much as I like my Rolexes, I'll take my cheap G-Shock GW-9400 over all of them.

It's solar powered, and has the following: compass, altimeter, barometer, thermometer, 200m water resistance, day/date/month, LED, alarm, timer, and more...

Gold sky dweller - gold will always be worth value and this has the most in (I think) could be traded for weapons or food :)

Explorer for its rugged tool watch aesthetics and comfort, or black bezel GMT for versatility.

Not sure how bad that would be, but I'll be wearing my 126660 JC, like every other day.
