Gunna have to go for the DD/Just!!

Roma315 · 21 December 2012, 05:21 AM

Day/date for sure is what made me love Rolex when I was younger

Chopped54 · 21 December 2012, 05:42 AM

Most popular, Sub no doubt.
Most iconic Rolex, Day Date no comparison.

mjclark32 · 21 December 2012, 05:52 AM

Sub IMO

69mach351 · 21 December 2012, 06:00 AM

Over the long term, the DJ/DD. Over the past 15-20 years, the sub.

GradyPhilpott · 21 December 2012, 06:13 AM

I would say that currently the Sub is the model that is the most emblematic of the Rolex brand.

I think that probably came to be during the Eighties.

Prior to that, it was probably the DJ.

I'd add the YG DayDate - that is the Triumvirate that epitomizes ROLEX.

Solo118 · 21 December 2012, 07:52 AM

I truly feel that people there are not much into watches but think of luxury think of the DJ/DD when they think Rolex. To the WIS and those in the know I feel it is the Sub that comes to mind first.

Hard to vote on this one, but I say Sub. It is the icon for those in the know!

Sub

mks4 · 21 December 2012, 08:29 AM

Last June in Baltimore:

Me: how much are those crappy orioles tickets?
Shady ticket seller: $25 each...sold out game
Me: those tickets retail for $7
Shady ticket seller: dude, you're wearing a submariner

I had to laugh...and that's how I voted!

landroverking · 21 December 2012, 09:23 AM

Are there any non sub owners on this forum?
Sub no way is more inconic than the DD.

A.Sharp · 21 December 2012, 10:55 AM

Sub/Day date

paverman · 21 December 2012, 11:20 AM

My vote is the iconic sub

watchf · 21 December 2012, 11:24 AM

Iconic according to which demographics. According to TRF I would suspect most here would vote for the Suc (including me). For the public I assume it would be DJ or DD. The population of general public would definitely be more than TRF type consumers so I would assume DJ/DD (more towards DJ) would be the iconic ones if you put a poll to the population on earth but in TRF alone it would be the sub.

AK797 · 21 December 2012, 11:29 AM

And its a slam dunk in yo face mofos - for the little ole Sub!!!!

More votes than all the others combined.

tdegroot · 21 December 2012, 12:45 PM

Sub!!!!

syahriltaher · 21 December 2012, 01:08 PM

I'm a lucky guy...I own the top two of the poll .....:))

I also say the sub but I love the GMT

jatco · 21 December 2012, 01:36 PM

I love my TT DJ and believe It to be Iconic.., - I think the Sub is next in line!

you got that right!. the OP put rolex on the map in europe years before the "sub" surfaced. it was THE concept watch that made the brand. the rest is evolution.

mmmk604 · 21 December 2012, 02:13 PM

Sub and DD IMO.
