Our Rolex Watch Wish List

Happy holidays and the ending to what has been a difficult year. So we thought we would end on just some unapologetic dreaming about what Rolex watch we’d like to see as a holiday gift. We polled some of our team members to name any Rolex watch, past or present, available or unavailable, that they want.

“Submariner reference 126610LV: The green ceramic bezel insert and 41mm with thinner lugs is the watch that’s hot on my wishlist.”

“GMT-Master II reference 126711 CHNR: Sometimes the things you love the most are designs and colors that you have to grow into. When the new rootbeer was released, the brown and black combo, as well as the two-tone construction just didn't speak to me.  However as my tastes have started to fall into Everose, the new Rootbeer has become my current obsession.”

“Oyster Perpetual reference 114300 White Dial: It’s simple and clean—perfect for everyday wear. You can dress it up or make it more discreet depending on the atmosphere. And, Everest Bands offers watch bands for it, so it’s a win-win.”

“Cosmograph Daytona reference 116595 RBOW: If you're going to rock a Rolex, I say go big or go home. The Everose gold is so shiny and beautiful and the rainbow gemstones are sure to brighten even the dullest of days! It takes a confident person to wear this on the daily, but I'm confident I can pull it off.”

“Cosmograph Daytona reference 116595 RBOW: With its extremely limited production and eye catching colored gems, the Rainbow Daytona is in its own stratosphere of unobtanium.”

“Cellini Prince reference 5440: Though discontinued, I love the Art Deco sun rays on the sides, in addition to the fact that it’s the only rectangular Rolex and the only Rolex to feature an open caseback.”

“Cosmograph Daytona reference 116506: With its icy blue dial and brown ceramic bezel, the $75,000 Daytona stands out like nothing else in the Rolex lineup.”

“Vintage Air-King: Maybe it's the pandemic, but lately I've been looking to the past lately for inspiration. In between Google searches for ‘1918 pandemic’ and ‘sourdough starter tips,’ I've been eyeing vintage Air-Kings. I don't know whether it's because of the retro font or that while I'm wearing one I can live out my fantasy life as a B-17 fighter pilot. Either way, it tops my Christmas list this year.”
