Sure, that's a real beauty. But:
isn't it a bit too rare and valuable watch for everyday use? Would you go to the beach to play and wear that? Or would you take it to a snow mobile ride where you might hit your fantastic watch to the tree when you unavoidably ride off the track and hit the tree?

Please post the Rolex
which is your favourite Rolex for wearing . So I'm not speaking about collecting, rarity, pleasure of ownership but wearing. This is mine: I like it because: - it's the first version following 5513 - the dial gets slowly some patina - it is still capable ...
Before falling in the
deep pit of forum Rolex on PPro that was what I considered a classic Submariner and epitome of Subs Indeed great classic you have Kari Best D
Thanks a lot Ares501
To me this represents the best of both worlds. The watch is not too valuable for every day wearing and at the same time there's something old in the design and a bit of patina in the dial. Best, Kari
My go to Rolex - The 16660
Just as you noted Patina Crystal vs Plexi Old world charm Good for diving. Bill Rolex Sea Dweller 4000ft ...
That's a very nice everyday watch
but a bit thick for me. And PADI DM are not allowed to go any deeper than 40 meters. Naturally, sometimes I have pushed the limits a bit but a normal Sub takes those few meters easily. Best, Kari
This is an easy one for me......
...... I love Sea-Dwellers. I love patina. I love red. Add to the equation that certain frisson of knowing that a watch is a prototype....... and one is left with this.....my favourite Rolex to wear. My favourite Rolex period. ...

Then that is a different question
under normal circumstances, what would be my favourite watch to wear on an average day? I thought the above was your question If you are saying what watch would I wear if I was at some risk of doing something physical, then I would be the same as Bill. 16...
Thanks for clarification Joe.
My question was not clearly stipulated. It's sometimes tough having Finnish as mother tongue... Best, Kari
Daytona is a great everyday wearer
Your versions are great, not the everyman Daytonas. Best, Kari
I cannot decide. I choose all 3 of my modern Exp, Sub and GMTII.
They give me same pleasures at different occasions. It's a tough fight ;)
The modern ones are easy.
Probably no other watch can take as much punishment as those. Best, Kari
Custom Sub
Up until a few years ago I would have answered your question like this: my SD 16600 for leisure wear and my DJ 1601 ss/wg for formal occasions. However, today it would have to be my custom Sub: I took a lightly worn 2004 Sub 16610 and had the cyclops remo...
That's something special!
I thought Rolex is offering something for everybody but you decided to improve their watches by utilising the puzzle method. Best, Kari
My go to rolex for a daily wear
The 16710 - Robust - Functional - And I like the red/blue combo a lot Best, SF ...
Plus
all Rolex Professional models are so well sealed that it's not a problem even to dive i.e. with a GMT. I have done it probably tens of times without any issues whatsoever. Best, Kari
