Is there a "common" Rolex reference you've never seen in the wild?
So I guess more like the actual model names, like Datejust, Daytona, Submariner, etc. Rather than say "have you ever seen a specific rare Submariner".
I don't recall ever seeing an Explorer I or Explorer II (black dial) in the wild. I have seen the Polar. Which seems weird cause I thought the Explorer I was rather popular. |

I haven’t seen a new BLRO in the wild yet. I’ve seen most other models.

ive seen them all. There are more Daytona C's in the morning drop-off queue at my kids school than any other watch. It's ridiculous. It surpasses the sub as most seen watch IRL.
Probably if i had to say less seen common reference, Explorer II? Only seen a handful IRL. Never seen a 126710 BLRO on anyone else(older ones, yes), never seen a sky dweller on anyone else, but those i wouldn't say are "common"

I actually saw two sky dwellers yesterday. One in a shop window, one on a wrist.
As far as modern rolex goes, I've never seen a Cellini in the wild. |

I live in the Tokyo area. I've probably seen them all multiple times; but I never get tired of seeing them!

I've never seen a 116610lv or its predecessor, the 16610lv in the wild. A close friend of mine actually had the 16610lv for many years but never wore it. Funny because most of the ones I see for sale also look unworn. I wonder if the green subs attract a very different type of owner than the standard sub.

Do you still have it? I love seeing a well-worn sub. It's kind of a shame that a lot of kermits seem to be safe queens.

I have seen just about every Rolex, but I don’t remember ever seeing a BLNR (Batman).

Its super weird because the hotter the watch and supposedly rare the more i actually see them on people Daytona C as i mentioned already are all over the place, but also the Hulk, and BLNR i see way more than many other watches. More than subs, more than DJ. I also have seen more D blues than black dial DSSD IRL.

Pretty rare to see for me. I live in a very blue collar working class town about 45 mins out of Toronto Canada. Only time I see any Rolex is when I go to the city. Mainly subs, some explorers. Only seen a couple Daytona’s in real life.

Excluding DJ/DD, I’ve only seen a handful, like can probably name them all, hulk, 116520 white, 16570 black, YM1 PT, sub date, bluesy, ex1.
I guess I’ve never seen a GMT surprisingly, or YM2, skydweller, air king (new), or Milgauss (besides the one on my wrist) |

I've never seen a 116600 SD4K in the wild, all of the other Sub models are everywhere in Florida though.

When I was in South FL and SoCal I was spotting SS sports models on a regular basis. In NorCal, it's pretty much Apple watch everywhere I go. Have seen the occasional vintage and modern SS Sports models but no 116610LV, 116710BLNR, 116500, 126600 or 126710 yet.
