Favorite non-sports Rolex

I think I am done for the time being with sports models (3). What is your favorite non-sports Rolex? Please include dial color, SS or TT,etc.

I think a rose gold Prince would be nice, with a simple white dial and RG hands/markers, on a cognac coloured gator with deployment would be nice.

SS TOG with white dial on oyster bracelet. This is tied with a YG DD with white dial, stick markers on president bracelet. It would depend on which I could afford

I'm rather happy with my TT Datejust:



The old 16200 with rhodium dial and Romans is another one I like a lot:

Yes Julian that would be great ,the watches are now quite expensive for a Gruen movement watch.But I like quite a few of the Gruen models as well,its funny although they share the same movements,the power of the Rolex name doubles the price.I done a slight edit on your silver picture,its was two large for forum we try to keep to forum guide lines around 700X700 less load on server hope you don't mind.

Mini Launch ALMOST has it correct - TT, White Dial, YG Roman's, Jubilee

I spent almost one year trying to choose between the TT DJ and TT sub with blue dial - Wife convinced me to go with blue sub

That's a very nice combination but, irony of ironies, its popularity makes it a drawback IMHO. I know five people who have that combination, and it's also the one I spot in public most often, and that lack of uniqueness detracts froms its beauty.
