I would guess that most members have a love for many different models, both old and new. This is, after all, our site.

The GMT is my favourite complication, but when I think of Rolex it always leads me to Subs

The Submariner is my favorite but I also appreciate most of the other models.

The divers and GMT styled watches (of which I would include the EXP2) will most likely always dominate my collection. Their fit and function suit me and my lifestyle best. And in PM, my absolute favorites are the sub/GMT.

That said, there will most likely always be room for a DJ, Explorer, and a Daytona-or two.

Submariner from any and all eras.
Although a majority of the time I like to have a Sub, GMT and Daytona in a small collection.

Not a fan of any of the modern Rolex, I love the 5 digit and older explorers, SD, and sub no dates.

I prefer vintage. All time favorite is a1675 GMT Pepsi.
After that the pre 4130 Daytona line both zenith and of course the old manual wind. Next would be the pre daytonas from late 50s to around 62.

I know what you're trying to say, but 5 digit references are still modern.

Up until now, ironically, no one mentioned the datejust: #1 sales at Rolex

Right now 16233 DJ TT (1991) but I'd like a Batman or Pepsi if someone would give me one. Then again I'd love a Sky Dweller. Am happy with the Datejust though.
