I know what you’re saying. It was my first Rolex back in 97, and I do love the Submariner, but I’ve said it before….its the most common one, or another brands version of one, (black dial/bezel diver) that I see when out and about.
I mean…Rolex in general, or the Sub, isn’t seen on 8 of 10 people I see when I’m out and about…but I’d say definitely the black dial/bezel Sub is most common when I see a Rolex on the wrist.
I currently wear a 116600 or 126618 for that reason. I know the SD is the same to 99% of the population who’d see it on my wrist, but it’s just for my own satisfaction. I really love the graduated bezel, that's the “it” factor for me.
