Arrgh, this is an evil question!
I can narrow it down as follows:
Vintage=1665 Double Red Sea-Dweller (or maybe a 6542 GMT, or maybe a 1675 GMT). But okay, I'll settle on a 1665.
Modern=Rainbow Daytona (specifically rose gold with black dial and gold flake subdials, either 116595RBOW or 126595RBOW).
Now, if I had to pick between the DRSD and RBOW -- this is an insurmountable task.

Your one Rolex to Rule Them All...
What is it for you? Assume you could only have one. For me, batgirl. ...
If money do not matter
🔵Smurf. If money counts, an oyster perpetual 114300 blue dial. So blue is blue 🟦
This mass produced beauty;)
It actually borne with an Oyster but I switched it with the Pepsi and I like it much better this way… Years of memories and travels, I could never part with it! ...
None!
I just sold my Sub 114060 because it wore to bulky and blocky on my 7 inch wrist!
Ended love for the crown?
Holy moly aqua. But very honest you told it now to the community. Personally i am very straight to watch brands like brand A is bad and brand B is the best. I kept always a carte blanche for the crown, while i cannot decide if i want to pay for the watch ...
For now , it is over
I liked the idea of the Sub a lot more than the actual watch itself in every day practice. If I ever come back , perhaps I’ll try the 14060
No regrets
Never looked back. It no longer brought me joy, so it wasn’t being worn. Off it went . Keep us posted
Because I see Rolex, primarily, as a…
…tool-watch company, I submit to you reference number 1655.
Day Date is the KING
And so if there was one choice it would be this one (choosing from what I currently own), but if it was a wider choice I think also a DD 36 in WG but with a special dial. ...
The most delicious two tone..

1655
If I could only have one Rolex, it would be this one. And I only do have one Rolex, and it's this one! ...
It would've been my 118238 if I hadn't gotten rid of it...
I kick myself for it nearly every day. What's done is done, but regret remains... ...
I hope I will never be pressed to own just one Crown…
But just to answer your question… it would be this one: With me since 1977: ref 1680 bought brand new that year. Best cordial regards Abel ...

My wish are watches that don't exist (yet) :
Oyster perpetual 36mm with silver dial and single battons, gold hands. (The watch almost exist now, but with double batton on 3-6-9). Land dweller with smooth bezel, no numerals, blue dial, no date, and two tone yellow gold and steel. White dial (polar) e...
you should work for Rolex design
I would be tempted... that Land Dweller deserves better versions!
LoL...I think I am too conservative for their new design language :)
I will be strongly tempted on Land Dweller if they make the right dial for me. Luckily I am not in hurry and could wait as long as possible because I don't want to play with ADs.
To spice things up
I would go with a vintage Commando, I have simple tastes. with my modern interpretation : ...
For me it would be a vintage Explorer 1016.
I don't have one yet but I am saving for one at the moment, hopefully next year I have the funds to buy one. They are probably the most "un-Rolex" Rolex model and that is what I like so much about them. Simple and IMHO the most beautiful and well-balanced...
I understand
I had the same thought about the 1016 for a long time, but then found myself pivoting to the much odder 1655. I've still never owned a 1016 either but exactly: simple, beautiful, well-balanced.
