Whats the most versatile watch?

Of the three you have, Rolex. However, other brands have models to fit the bill.

I've always thought any of the OPs tick a lot of boxes for versatility!

Rolex DJ smooth bezel with Jubilee bracelet is the most versatile watch in my opinion. Jubilee bracelet adds to visual interest and ups the formality a bit while the smooth bezel keeps it firmly casual

1. Get wet: 100M WR;

2. Travel with it - Wear it everywhere without fear of being mugged and shot;

3. GADA style - Classy, yet zero bling;

4. Dress it up - Black goes with everything, the mixture of high polish and fine brushing with chamfering and sharp transitions lends elegance;

5. Dress it down - Black and a field watch aesthetic on the dial just works;

6. Keep accurate time - ST2130 ETA 2824 clone - COSC accuracy after regulation, manufactured by the biggest producer of watch movements in the world by volume, with 68 years of experience and history ;

7. Get it dirty - Screw on case back and sapphire crystal for durability;

8. Wear with jeans and a T-shirt - Thin and unobtrusive, zero bling.

Totally agree with you. Here's mine...

Datejust or OP, always looks class and never out of place, no matter what you wear or where you are

For starters: None of the watches pictured!

Moon watch dies with water, JLC is for investment banker power lunches (not much else) and Rolex fluted bezel will get your arm chopped off in many cities, and you wouldn’t wear a $10,000+ watch for gardening / playing on the beach / scrambling in Rockies / camping, etc.

Being a Seiko geek, I’ll suggest something like an Alpinist 😃. Looks gorgeous- and ~ 850 bucks, so I wear it any wear and everywhere.

Every situation you’ve listed, and many more 200m WR as well!

I think my Longines Hydroconquest covers all that. As does my Tudor BB58.

My vintage Nivada Grenchen Antarctic Spider.

Okay, it's vintage, so it's not the best when it comes to waterproofness, but I reckon it'll be able to survive most things short of a swimming pool if it was given a new set of gaskets. Time eats away at anything, and this watch is no exception. It's no spring chicken, but I bet it'll hold its own, even after sixty odd years.

For travelling, there's a crown to adjust the time. Independently adjustable hour hands and GMT complications are overrated unless you're a business executive that takes a 747 to the office every day.

This watch looks somewhat like a dress watch, but doesn't lose and of its tool-y appeal. You can wear this with a sport coat or suit, but also a pair of loose cargo shorts.

It's accurate enough. It could do better if I had a timegrapher to adjust it with. After servicing it myself, it runs more accurately than my Seiko 5 that I bought new. It only shows measurable deviance after about a week. Setting it accurately is a pain thought due to the dial configuration.

An acrylic crystal is perfect for getting dirty and rough. Trust me, a nasty scratch or gouge is better than pieces of shattered glass making their way into the movement. The case is all stainless steel and has likely never been polished.

It does lack on a few fronts, but as someone who prefers dress watches overall, this is perfect for me. It has serious heritage and capabilities, even if it's no longer as fresh as it once was. If it's good enough for Admiral Richard Byrd, it's good enough for me.

Great watch! Will get one at the AD someday when my watch fund is flush again
