My favorite Rolex is...

...the 16600 Sea-Dweller but this comes close.

Current Sub (114060). 3130 tried and tested, rock solid workhorse. Best bracelet on the market (no PCL‘s, glidelock clasp), cleanest dial, indestructible bezel, can be worn with anything from flip flops to black tie.

In short, the Perfect watch. I have way more fancy watches in my collection but this is the one I wear - and probably love the most.

Case closed.

While I like many references, I totally agree with this sentiment. The 114060 offers everything I need in a Rolex.

Yeah I love those old Pepsi's.

I had a Coke GMT and loved it, but it had aftermarket hands and returned it.

I found the 16600 to be a little too top heavy. The 116600 is such a step up, in my view.

I used to think the 126710 BLRO but it’s now a tie with the 16710

The filter you used on the second pic makes that watch look insanely awesome. I would consider buying it with those color tones, more muted kind of like an everose without the pink and the navy-ish blue would look great.
