What is your favorite reference and why?

[breitlings]

A hard question but one that must be posed.

What is your favorite Rolex reference and why?

[Thines]

Explore I. Its a perfect watch whether on top of a mountain to a conference room meeting, and everything in between.

116600 SD4k. The most perfect dive watch proportions and matte dial. Also, it's just a tad different than the sea of subs.

The Rolex Milgauss

It’s vibrant color scheme shouldn’t make sense but Rolex pulled it off superbly.

Also I hear AC/DC’s intro to Thunderstruck whenever I glance for the time ⚡️

[TimeAZ]

This has become my daily and is my favorite watch that I own. Closest thing to perfection. Managed to even upend my Explorer 1 (214270).

edit: Forgot to add reason why--- perfectly proportioned, balanced dial/bezel/case, supremely comfortable, elegant, perfect GADA watch can be worn with suit/formal attire or with polo and shorts/jeans. Dial is beautiful, clean, vibrant, and dynamic. Easy to read, instantly legible time, love the running minute hand. Bracelet and clasp are perfection.

This caught me by surprise

I didn’t expect to love it as much as I do. I like the fact it flies under the radar but when you wear it you know from its weight It’s wg. Looks great even better in person. Somehow the rubber just works. For comfort and durability. It seems to have everything. Some will say with the absence of a date it can’t be a one watch, but that wouldn’t bother me. Strange also how I feel I could easily wear it in a smart environment despite being on rubber. So it works there all the way to the beach.

Being nothing if not predictable!!! Why, I traded in a collection for it, it's stealthy, beautiful, and unique. It's color scheme is like nothing else made.

Nice pix Nick.

Of course I love all that I have (10) and more I hope to acquire but I'll play!

Different watches for different things but my go to watch that gets the most wrist time by far is my 16710 Pepsi.

Comfortable weight and size and gets nice attention.

Submariner Date. My friend wore one back in HS that was given to him by his dad. It was the first Rolex I ever saw that was not a DJ or DD, I had no idea Rolex made watches that looked like that. I think that left an impression, and I always wanted one.

It's personally telling to me that in the mid to late 2000s when basically any SS sports model (even a Daytona with maybe a bit of extra legwork) was available at ADs and I had the budget for any of them, I walked out with a Sub Date without much consideration for other models.

[Gerardus]

118238 (sold) or my current Bluesy.

[peterpl]

El Presidente!!!!

[pearson1995]

It may not be the best, but DD40 YG is probably my favourite right now... BLNR oyster very close second.

[TswaneNguni]

Platona/Baquette

Because.

[AK797]

Either of my sunburst subs.

Nice - what size is it - 36mm?

[Goin2drt]

Favorite would be the Platinum Daytona

If I could only own one watch, Sub Date. It just works with everything in every situation.

[Spartan1]

The next one!

[Benzsiam]

Daytona family!

[aff1]

There are various options on this but my personal favourite is Explorer 1

[brandrea]

That is a really tough call.

My heart says diver my head says GMT.

If push came to shove and I could only have one, I'd probably go with BLRO, but you'd have to chew off my arm if I were wearing the Sub 20200924_122616.jpg20200116_143922.jpg

The Yacht Master II is my favorite Rolex reference. After 30 years of Rolex, I can comfortably say the YMII with its cal.4161 has shown me Rolex is capable and advanced enough to step away from its safety net to produce a industry first, world class time piece. It’s refreshing and worthy of Rolex to thump its chest to the boutique brands and say ”We are more than marketing and can build a movement you can’t and still maintain our superior brand positioning“.

[jrs146]

I go in phases. Right now it’s the GMT!

16610

[ciceroyeah]

5513 Matte dial. Because it is the cleanest, simplest, most balanced version of the original, and has the most legit tool-watch character of any Rolex.

[beshannon]

My 116710 BLNR because it can do everything, travel, dress, dive and casual.

[Heady Topper]

Mark II 214270 is clean af

Very nice watch...bet the heft of it on the writs is lovely.

My favourite reference is your other watch - The 40mm YM with Rhodium dial. I don't own it myself, but I have tried one on and the fit/feel of it is fantastic. It is such a versatile piece, and not as common as other watches of a similar look. The dial is superb.

[Cambo]

Today....this



Tomorrow....who knows?

I'm all in for beautiful dials. Any of these could be a favorite.
