Rolex

Truly hard to give a view....

 

.....as most of these, if not all, are great watches.

However, everyone's taste is different and there are some on that list i would definitely own and some I would definitely not own. So, if i was starting from blank with no Rolex at all and was confronted with that list as my shortlist, my choice FOR ME would be clear.

SD4000 would be my choice.

Produced for such a short period of time, it is already a collectors piece! But to me its a really nice Sea-Dweller. I am not a fan of teh cyclops, and especially not on a Sea-Dweller, hence I would not go 43mm. The Batman is very nice modern, but i place it behind the SD4000 if you are only taking one Rolex.

Find a SD4000 and then play with its bezel...it just oozes quality. Great size.....great insert. That is what i would go for...FOR ME.

But we are all different and there will be guys here saying the exact opposite.


Have you tried any on?

Have only tried on the ceramic non date and really like it a couple years ago. I thought I was going to think it was too small, but it had a lost of wrist presence. Thanks the SD4000 is the only one on my list that would have to be pre-owned?

The best advice I can give is to try the watches on and see which one speaks to you.

All your choices are good. I am vintage guy so I always go old school. There are some that still qualify as vintage but have sapphire crystal like the Rolex 16760. Tropical version on the right. On the left is a 5513 meters first the best way to start a j...  

Best advice is always to try on...
