If you could only have 1 Rolex what would it be?

If you were only allowed to have 1 Rolex and they where all the same price what would it be and why?
For me its the Rolex GMT 16750.The watch with the vintage look and modern quickset movement. It has a great selection of bezel inserts.I can go pepsi faded pepsi or black.I can change my bracelets from an oyster bracelet to a jubilee bracelet.Or put it on a NATO or a strap it looks good either way. It also tells 2 time zones when I need it to.For me its my favorite.BTW this ones been on my hand since new over 24 years now.How about you guys what do you like and why.

A TT DD. No diamonds or sparkle, just an understated watch. (Maybe someday).

If I didn't have the 16613, I would get the 16750 for the exact reasons you mentioned. In fact, if I ever get another Rolex, this will be the one.

My white dial EXP II is my only Rolex and likely will be the only one I ever have. I have 4 Omegas and many more "affordable" watches, but only want the Explorer II as my Rolex. Don't get me wrong, there are many beautiful Rolex watches, I have just always liked the EXP II with the white dial best. Cheers, Bill P.
