Guys,

Just would like to have a survey here, what is the most recognized Rolex model...?

Mr Kram · 24 March 2016, 05:54 PM

sub, day date/datejust, daytona?

Chalet · 24 March 2016, 06:01 PM

Datejust

I agree

The only Rolex model that average Joe can recognize on the street is DJ, IMHO.

ppalasthira · 24 March 2016, 06:41 PM

DJs only. Some would recognize the Subs as well.

kopykopy · 24 March 2016, 06:42 PM

Where I live, the Rolex I see most would be a 36mm Two Tone Datejust with Fluted Bezel and Jubilee Bracelet. Mostly owned by older successful businessmen and their wives. Ask them about it, they just know its a "Rolex with Date" and know nothing else about the dial, movement, bracelet, casing, reference no. etc (heck, I don't think they even know its called a Datejust!). Very rarely do I see other models (even the Sub and the GMT). On the rare occasions that I do see a Sub and a GMT it is mostly on a younger person's wrist.

Very interesting

jolimont · 24 March 2016, 06:59 PM

TT DJ on jubilee is the iconic rolex watch

the sub is close but there are many similar dive watches

Singslinger · 24 March 2016, 07:03 PM

It would have to be either the Datejust, President, GMT or Sub.

IMO Joe Public would struggle to recognize many of the others (like the Sky Dweller) as a Rolex.

WWC · 24 March 2016, 07:07 PM

Definitely the DJ. Especially on the jubilee bracelet and fluted bezel

Muzz · 24 March 2016, 07:13 PM

I would say Submariner, but it really depends where you live I suppose.

Shichinin · 24 March 2016, 07:35 PM

It was Submariner for me.

dddl · 24 March 2016, 07:46 PM

YG DD President . . .

brettpaul · 24 March 2016, 07:56 PM

Date just

RMC12 · 24 March 2016, 08:32 PM

Submariner then Date Just then President in my opinion.

VaRobot · 24 March 2016, 08:37 PM

I don't think "Joe" on the streets has a clue between a Rolex and an Invicta.

Racerdj · 24 March 2016, 08:40 PM

Most definitely the Sub!

Exactly.

Leodagan · 24 March 2016, 09:32 PM

Certainly not the sub. There is too many fake or sublike ... imo

My thought too. That's why I'd say DJ two tone.

spd707 · 24 March 2016, 09:56 PM

It's a toss up between the Sub and the Datejust.

Joearch · 24 March 2016, 09:57 PM

DJ..... Look at the sign you see on their stores and in airports etc. it is a clock that looks like a DJ. They use it as their brand image.

Majin Buu · 24 March 2016, 10:15 PM

Rolex best seller, DJ!

Patton250 · 24 March 2016, 10:18 PM

TT DJ for sure. With white dial.

MCO1 · 24 March 2016, 10:19 PM

I have to agree with others, TT DJ fluted bezel with jubilee bracelet and don't forget the gold dial. Bar none the most recognizable Rolex that their wife probably bought for them. Also, the most copied look as well, I see lots and lots of makes that look like this.

chloebear · 24 March 2016, 11:02 PM

The general public is pretty unaware of watches in general. It will probably get worse because so many people don't wear a watch any more. I was watching a college football game last year and the announcers were freaking out because a player was wearing a "gold Rolex" during the game. It was obviously a gold G-shock, but they associated gold watch with Rolex. They were only off by about $37,020.

ColRam425 · 24 March 2016, 11:04 PM

I'd say it's pretty much an even tie between SS Sub and TT DJ36 Jubilee

KeithP · 24 March 2016, 11:12 PM

Date Just, Day-Date.

I don't think the Sub is close. For people vaguely into watches? Sure. But not average Joe.
