Would have to be these three
I love the Daytona and a friend just got his this week from the AD so when I meet him ill get some shots. He also has the deepsea and I love it but it's too big for my small wrist and I like the smooth bezel blue dial.
If the batman gmt was still there I would have chosen it after the Daytona.

A three watch collection from the current Rolex range
As we approach Basel and the anticipation of what Rolex will unveil for 2018, it occurred to me that it would be a useful process to take a look at the current range and pose a question: If I could have just three watches from the current collection, what...
I am sure about two...
The 116900 Air King, The Daytona 116500 LN White: And the Rolex GMT MASTER 116710 preferably steel case / red and blue insert: The Air King, because it is a watch with a true meaning, The Daytona Ceramic White because it is uber cool, and the GMT MASTER b...
Unlikely but coke.... who knows
The reason coke maybe easier to manufacture is that the process maybe similar to the blue black The red blue is difficult to make Effectively you start with a green bezel that you add pigments that when heated turn either blue or red But with blue black y...
White Face Steel Daytona, No date steel sub, smooth bezel steel oyster perpetual 36
A subtle dress watch, and two of the purest current "tool" watches
Would have to be these three

Straight from my "Wish List"...
The three I would choose are: To go with the two I currently have: Then add: To eventually end up with: ...
My collection would be, and I do have all three in my Rolex collection
1. Rolex Daytona in SS Ceramic, a must in a Rolex collection 2. The Deepsea Sea-dweller 50th anniversary edition, cause it is super water resistance and I do like the cyclops. 3. The GMT Master II BLNR, a must for travelling, and the color of the bezel is...
For me it would be
Steel Daytona ceramic bezel and white face , DayDate Platinum with ice blue diamond dial and finally Rolex Deepsea Blue ... If provision for one is more is there then blue blk Bezel GMT 2
I'll wait 2 weeks
and go for the new 'coke' GMT a daytona in steel and a green sub are the 2 others I would pick
They don't show ...
all dial/bezel combinations on their website. Actual product range is much, much broader. For me, I LOVE two models from the current line up and I am fortunate to own both. I think my only criterion is that the watch has to appeal to me at an emotional le...
Great prompt so here goes...
Based on a combination of personal taste and reality, price-wise, I’d take the 36mm Datejust with black face for a dress watch due to the medium size and polished steel bracelet, the Hulk Sub for work/daily beater and the Air King for weekends and in betw...
My pick...
would be: GMTM II - 116719BLRO Daytona - 116500LN white dial Skydweller - 326934 black dial
Great Post and Great Choices. With Rolex hard to go wrong with any choices! Here are mine -
for me 38-40 mm is also the sweet spot. In order of appreciation: 1) 116500 Daytona black or white is fine with me. Slight preference aesthetically for white. Also, unlike the black the white was not used on 116520. Prefer the ceramic to steel bezel. 2) B...
Yes.....
.....nice choices. The problem for me with the various SD and Deepsea is the size...amongst other things.
Great question
1. Platinum day date 40 with black stick dial. The understated daddy for formal occasions, old age and to pass on to the next generation. Total Rolex classic, up there with a Porsche 911 and Coca Cola bottle (etc) and defining icons of the ages. 2. Sky Dw...
Nice choices but
If you’re going for the classic iconic Rolex in No. 1, I’d recommend downsizing to 36 mm. 40 mm is less Carrera than Panomera. Also, if your “next generation” is girls (like mine), more likely to get an heir to actually wear the thing. 🙂
Well.....
....i was just looking at the modern offerings and giving my personal taste. I will do a vintage version of this thread and that will play more to the classic theme.
Hard to define for many reasons....
.....when one does a Top 3 from the current offerings, the universe is defined within a relatively narrow range. But when one opens it up to all vintage, then not only is it much more unlimited, but also price becomes a big factor. My three moderns could ...
never thought about this you brought it up Great question
1. def white dialled daytona 2. Toss up between simple explorer or submariner 3. Thought long and hard I think Platinum day date ( could change ss daytona to Platona to complicate matters further but Ill stick to current though t process) There is vintage...
Nice....ecclectic...... interesting
The Plat cosmo...... i can't get my head around it really. I think a part of that is just old school British. Never mix brown and blue....golden rule for an old school Brit. Miles let me borrow his for a little bit.....the heft is quite something. But its...
Just my heritage....
... always taught that brown and blue are never matched. Like a blue suit and brown shoes.... just no.
Interesting to see your choice exclude both Submariner and Sea-dweller....
Personally I would go for a blue dial Mileguss. After that I am not sure.... Best Blomman
Good reasons for that....
....The SD is simply too big. On the Subs, it was hard to exclude one from my choice. I think I am dominated too much by the charm of the vintage Subs and SDs....
My trio.
14060m, 2007. 116710BLNR, 2013. 116500LN, 2017. 14060m were watches for every day. I consider them the best in comparison with 114060. Then appeared in the set 116710BLNR, and they became hours for travel. Well, under the blue suit, blue shirts, jeans ......
this is a hard excercice since I like the Rolex's sport line up.
I would go the Milgauss GV, I own Submariner LN, I own and the Daytona SS 116500LN ordered since one year with delivery promised before end of june. I would like a GMT with blue/ red bezel but the price tag is way over my budget Stay tuned
3 rolexes
daydate 40mm YG silver roman dial, daydate 40mm platinum blue roman dial, submariner blue YG
My 3 choices....
116500LN white dial ceramic bezel Daytona. Close call between this and the black dial version but it adds an element of diversity to this trio and also think the white carries a slightly sportier look. But the black is as you say “strong”.... 126600 black...
the style of bezel keeps me away from the sky-dweller....just not a fan of it....
....as for the other two...yes, like them
For me yes it does.
I want a Pepsi. I’m in the waiting list, we will see. The AD told me October. My trio is now close to meet my expectations. I have the Green Milgauss, the black ceramic Daytona ( such a watch ) and wait for the steel Pepsi... I’m surprised to see among ma...
i don't dislike the new steel Pepsi.....
......but i am in the camp of believing that many other GMTs are just as good.....
All are good. But I guess I prefer the new Pepsi steel because of the bracelet.
I always appreciate how the jubilee fits.
