…so which do you have ‘classic’ or ‘professional’?

…with watch references split on the Rolex website between classic and professional, which do you have?

Both. Including a Z Blue which is a Professional model with a Classic case and dial. My Sky Dwellers are Classic in looks but have a professional complication. It's interesting when the lines get a bit blurred.

If the Z-blue was considered to have been part of the "Professional" line, then all of mine are Professional

One of each, with the next one likely to be another professional.

I tried to like the datejusts. Had 3 different dials. For some reason I like they way they look on others wrists, but not mine. Professional models for me. The ceramic bezels are why I like Rolex.

I answered professional, but I think my Daytona has elements of both.

I have all professional models with the exception of this one classic that I recently added….and I love it. Such a refreshing change from large sport watches.

It was a Rolex Professional model. No consideration necessary.

2x professional models, Explorer 36mm and GMT LN. May add a classic, would be a Day-Date 36mm but not for a long time.
