I will interpreted 'best' as being the one i prefer the most. I would have to say the Submariner - and within the 'submariner family' i really like the Sea Dweller as i need a date feature but kind of dislike the cyclops.

The one that you look at without checking the time.
The one that makes you smile when you look at it.
The one that smiles at you when you look at it.
The one that makes you stop looking at the For Sale Section - at least for a while.
The one that always seems right for any occasion.
The one that is an expression of who you are, or think you are - or want to be. (Diver, race car driver, pilot, etc.)

Keep in mind that this mat change from time to time - sometimes the intervals are too short.

I vote for the GMT Master IIc in steel.
BUT! The Rose Gold Skydweller, Platona, and polar explorer II are all stunning in their own right.

I think Rolex has the 3 of the most iconic watches and in they're current form they are all amazing.

DD40
SubC
Daytona

For a pure daily wear watch, I love my BLNR, but anything in the GMT range is perfect. Having two time zones is very useful.
