Icon20 Best looking modern day Rolex and why
I can't decide between:

1. 116500

2. Ceramic Pepsi

3. WG smurf

4. BLNR

My personal opinion is the white face 116500 because of the black and white contrast and the red "Daytona" font.

Any thoughts?

I'd pick the 116500 in white out of that also.... The blro in ceramic never impressed me with the color... And I never liked blue subs personally. The new Daytona is a great watch.

The Submariner 114060 is the best looking modern Rolex in my opinion.

116509 with the black dial, followed by the silver dial version if you want something a bit more showy.

The best looking modern Rolex right now is the BLNR (the one in your avatar). Just look at how many incomings there are on TRF.

Yes ur right, and it was also my first Rolex, it's a special watch alright, the shade of blue on the bezel is mesmerising!! BUT BLACK AND WHITE is very unique and a classic combo, which is why the white face Daytona 500 tops it for me

Let's not forget that many end up being flipped, too.

I agree with you ... just like any other Rolex reference like SubC (No Date to Date vice versa), Daytona (for profit), from PM to SS, from SS to PM, etc.

There are a lot of nice models in the line up right now. I really love the 114060 and the BLNR. The BLRO has also grown on me lately, how can it not.

It is a tough call between the uncomplicated, perfectly updated classic 114060 or the amazing BLNR, which I might add is less than a quarter of the cost of the BLRO. I think BLNR would be my final answer, perfect design and precision brought together on a watch that pays homage to the original model, but with a lot of modern upgrades in all the right places. I wouldn't change a thing on this watch ... that said I am not giving up my 114060any time soon.

The new Cellini moon phase.....then the Day Date 40 in white gold with silver dial. Then the DateJust 41.
Sadly, the ceramic based sports versions are not in the running for me .
