Rolex - Which one(s) do you want ?

I’m just curious to know what everyone’s favourite Rolex’s are. If you were offered one to buy with your own money (not gifted) which would you spend on?

I know I know, it’s not likely to happen for many and we don’t like the AD games, but take all that away. What’s your choice?

mine are -

Probly an explorer 2

126710 Pepsi on Jubilee or 16710 Pepsi on Oyster

·

If I could have just one, it would be a datejust, witch I have. YG Day date and gmt pepsi would be the ones in the current lineup I really like.

These are the ones I curently have.

Been trying to fight it, but I'm slipping to the dark side.😁

·

None. Can't afford a Rolex at this stage 😢

·

All I am after is a basic OP 41 Blue . Been hunting for a long time since launch and waiting patiently but to no avail....

·

For me it’s the Air King

·

For me it would be a 16570 Black Dial.

Actually the only rolex i'm interested in.

But i will not buy it grey market for 10k and can't buy it at a AD because it's a vintage one.

If i get a really good offer,maybe one day i will buy it.

·

second place would be the Explorer 2

First place would be the linen dial Datejust which is also the only Rolex I would buy I love it on the jubilee but also on a leather strap

Polar 16570, 14060, 1016, 1665, some kind of bubble back (maybe a 3372)

That said, I'm not spending my $ on any of these at hype pricing.

·

New Sea Dweller at Retail. I have an Explorer II, and I don't much like the rest of the range.

·

My one and only Rolex consideration is the mostly unloved Milgauss

Agreed I wouldn’t purchase over retail either.

Nice. I find the sea dweller a bit big on my wrist but maybe I’m just used to the GMT sizes. 

·

Explorer, Explorer II, and GMT Master II. I wouldn’t want any precious metal.

Haha. I wanted the yellow when it was released. Never managed to get one before it was discontinued. 
I’ve been keeping my eye on a blue one on chrono24 but £8k is just a bit much for that. 

·

I’m a lucky guy. I have a Batman, a Sub, and an Explorer. I do feel very Rolex satisfied. If I were greedy? A white dial milgauss, a Cellini Prince, or, a Tuquoise OP. 

·

I’d go for the coral red OP, Milgauss, or an Explorer II, but I just can’t with the AD experience. 

·

I want a 39mm Explorer so I’ll wait for the used market to stabilize downward before I pursue that.  I’ve been waiting all year for a pink OP36 for my wife.

I would also like a no date Sub.  I’d also buy a Daytona if I had access. 

·

I plan to get a 36mm Explorer 1 after my first home purchase. Atm I have a Ranger.

·

The one and only Rolex I want is gmt master ii Batman. Or if I can get the all black bezel one used I would have that too.

If you’ve got the ranger do you really need an exp1 ?

I just tried on a ranger today as it happens. I was very close to buying it there and then.

I wanted the Batman until my brother got one. So now I’m waiting for a Pepsi. The all black one is cool too but too much like A sub. Good luck with it.

Need it? Absolutely not, but I love that style of watch and do want a Rolex. There’s absolutely no logic to this, just pure emotion and impulse to this. As is this hobby is haha 

·

I would make the money available immediately for the GMT II VTNR (lefty, sprite??).  I have been on the waitlist since April and am hoping any day!  

·

My first choice would be the Sky Dweller, because of the unique dial look
 

Rolex Sky Dweller 326934-0004

Then probably the GMT Master II either the Batman or Pepsi

·

Explorer 1 in 36mm, Milgauss, Submariner

·

I'd love an OP 41 - the wife has an OP 31 (I have no Rolex :'( )

·

I would love a vintage 70's Daytona. I could wear one just about every day

Image
·

Number one is definitely the blue dial Sky Dweller, what a watch.

Rolex Sky-Dweller Stainless Steel Blue Index Dial Fluted White Gold Bezel  Oyster Bracelet 326934 - BRAND NEW

Following that, I've always wanted a Milgauss, that seconds hand is killer.

Rolex Milgauss 116400GV - 40mm in Stainless Steel - US

  1. 36mm Explorer (currently own)

  2. Pepsi - currently on the wait list and the rumors of it getting discontinued are really freaking me out 🫠

  3. Panda Daytona - maybe one distant day in my dreams. AD said that the wait list is like 7 or 8 years at the moment lol
