Collectible datejust models

Hi,

Datejusts have started lately interested me quite a lot. What models do you think are most collectible among them? There are the wideboys, glossy and sigma dials. What else? Lets share some nice datejust here please.

My purply Sigma.
My quickset, a graduation present from my Dad.

My Dad's Datejust has a cool dial color.

I guess the most collectible DJ would be the first, the 4467 (from 1945), even though it doesn't say Datejust on the dial.

Right on. Gilt Datejust is the one to collect. Not only they are amazing to look at, they are so hard to come by. Google search yields plethora amount of subs, explorers etc, but a few of these DJs.

Not sure how collectible this 6605 is, but I've always liked this dial.

The most collectible dimension of these watches is their affordable price point ! God bless them.
