B. because it doesn't shout "look at me, I have a Rolex". And I also think it is the most versatile.

·

Black sub is the most iconic (and I’m not talking within watch nerd circles)

Personally, GMT 2. But that’s because that’s what I want in my collection.

But if I only had one, then black no date sub

·

Would choose the green destro GMT! Aka sprite

·

E: OP 39

Explorer 1, really dislike the classic sub and it's variants.

I just tried all these today. For me I think the blue really pops compared side by side. Still not too flashy also.

I really enjoy the sub and explorer. It’s a difficult choice. I’ll probably end picking them all up on the long run. lol

For me, a vintage Datejust Oysterquartz, but if I had to pick from the list, a GMT master would be the one

·

I think if I had to pick a single Rolex it is a 1665 Sea Dweller. Ideally a double red, but alas I only have a great white.

Out of these 4, the Explorer 40mm. It's the only one I would truly enjoy wearing without thinking too much about it. If the Explorer 36mm was an option I would go with it over the 40mm since I prefer the proportions and wearability of it more.

·

Standard Sub but with Date. It's simple black but sportier than the Explorer and that's my style. I don't need anything on the dressier end.

·

DateJust or Yacht Master would have been my picks if they were options. Went with GMT instead.

·

I choose it because it is the only Rolex in my collection....

If only 1 then it would have to be a skydweller. That crown system is amazing I think.

·

Of your choices presented the Kermit.

The diver bezel can be useful to time stuff, I like the date and it’s pretty much acceptable every and with a touch of green keeps it interesting without being crazy.

·

Frankly none of these but if it had to be then the gmt. Definitely not any sub rendition as it’s so ubiquitous I’d feel like a sheep. The explorer is great but too small for me. So that leaves the gmt which is nice especially on a jubilee.

But my choices are a mark I sea dweller or the explorer II. I went for the latter and love it

The GMT is too gaudy and quite dangerous to wear in some countries like the UK, Spain etc. It is supposed to be a travel watch, but would you actually wear it while traveling, especially to those countries? A watch that you are not confident to wear is not a good watch. I pick the explorer.

or...

Explorer 1 because it flies under the radar and is incredibly versatile.

·

Good old black sub for me. I already have one & a few interesting homages of them too.

·

GMT but with a black bezel and oyster bracelet.

·

I already made this choice and it was based on comfort and design.

I’d have an explorer if I had to have one it’s the least flashy watch out of all the choices not a fan of any of them to be honest

·

Milgauss

Personally, I do like the design of the gmt Batman. I find it’s the most subdued of gmt’s. I was going in with the idea of probably wanting the explorer. However, on rist I liked the added color. It’s just a more fun watch.

I wouldn’t wear a Rolex at all if I’m going to a city like London.

None of the above, it’d be a 36mm if I was limited to one.

I own a submariner Starbucks, explorer II, and OP 41 green. If I had a gun to my head and could only pick one or go with the OP. It feels the best on wrist and goes with everything on any occasion. Explorer 40 may be the closet one to the OP 41. I love all 3 watches though. The explorer II is prosbly my favorite to look at when it’s on wrist and my Starbucks is the one I’m most proud of when it’s on wrist. It’s hard to pick just one but any Rolex is a watch that can be worn every single day of the year for any occasion and then passed on to one’s children

This; because it’s not an In Your Face Rolex!

Nice collection! I asked my son which one he likes best. He says the the blue gmt.. ill be passing it down to him. So probably will go that direction.

I let the AD know I was interested in all four. So let’s see what shows up first. I’ll probably end up with one or two over the years.

Awesome way to do it!
