Many here seem to think that the Submariner is the answer to every watch question ever asked. It isn't.

In the case of the T-shirt watch, it probably is the right answer. Bonus points for the original no date version and something pre-ceramic.

I know it wasn't the question but frankly, it would be a good opportunity to look beyond Rolex. You can get a pretty amazing Seiko for 1/10th the price.

T shirt weather in the manor means the sunburst should come out, so LVc.

Sea Dweller (SD4K) and Daytona are the only two on the list I'll wear. Either is fine. I own both and tend to prefer the Daytona at the moment!!!

All of them. The greatness of Rolex will compliment any outfit, up or down. No matter what you are wearing, you will always feel dressed with a Rolex on the wrist. No other watch does this.

Any Rolex would dress up your jeans and t-shirt outfit. If you want to keep the super casual vibe and not draw too much attention to your wrist, Explorer II works great.

It is up to the individual style...shorts and t shirt have little to do with it. Some people can pull of a yeallow gold watch with shorts and flip flops

IMHO for me Yellow gold in casual looks very wrong. Anything white steel or WG is fine

Any would work, but my personal favorite for that look is a PM reference. It's a great statement that you'll wear what you darn well please, when you darn well please.

And if you gotta have the date, well, there's options...

Whichever one you like the most. If you’re getting wet, maybe avoid leather straps, otherwise it’s all good.
