Is this the best modern SS sports model?
I think the Pepsi on jubilee is the best modern SS sports model Rolex makes. What do you think?

That may well be true.
However, there should be one or the other who sees it differently.

I would tend to agree with you, there was a time I wasn’t a fan of the BLRO on jubilee but it started to grow on me in the past year or so.

I also say no largely because I am not a fan of brightly colored watches for regular wear.

For land/air activities, YES.
For watersports, it is the Submariner.

In some opinions, perhaps. In others, not…personally prefer the 116710 to any other modern GMT2.

Best SS sports imo would be the plain black sub….any year.

Don’t like Jubilee on sport watch and blro on jubilee is too mature looking for me.

Prefer BLNR or BLRO on oyster.

126610LN. I had them all, but to me there really is no comparison, it is a legend.

I have the original WG Pepsi with the black dial. There’s something really special about this watch
In my collection, it was one I always wanted and looked at photos of and oddly when the steel one came out I wanted it even more.

No, not that version.



Sports models belong on oyster bracelets.



It is known.
This is the Way.

With the 3186 movement.

Best of both?
