Personal favorite Rolex, hype and grey market pricing aside?

What do you like the most in terms of genre?

Couple notes:

Last poll was only for SS, this question pertains to any and all materials

There are only 10 options available for the poll, due to limitations I had to squeeze the least popular from the last poll in one slot and bundled it with the Milgauss

5-digit GMT Master. That's my sweet spot. I'm definitely a stainless steel kind of guy.

I have to say at the moment it has to be the SD4K, I have a Sub, GMT, Daytona, OP, EXP I and a date just 41.

The SDK4 has great proportions and just looks and feels great on, but we are all different!

I like the sub, explorer and Daytona. But if i had to chose one, explorer for certain. It’s just awesome.

When I buy a new watch, Rolex, SS in my experience, I first try to buy a GMT model (indifferent of the bezel color, since it adds nothing important for me) as a reliable tool watch (the real reason I buy them). Then a Sub (just because, no real reason).
Just my POV !

Cheers!

I'm simple. I would say Explorer but I'm not enthused by the current size. Bought an OP 41 and I honestly could not be happier.

I voted Sub, IMHO, they just got the proportions and appearance perfect. My grail is the AG 126619

I wish they would make a GMT in that configuration as I miss the features of jumping hour hand and (of course) second time zone; maybe someday.

There wasn't an option for GMT Master so picked the GMT Master II. My favorite is the 16700 then after that its tough. My number 2 would be the YMII in YG.

I love this watch. My AD had one sitting in the case for 25% off a couple years ago . I wish I bought it.

Explorer gets two entries but the Submariner only one?

Also, if I like a Milguass but not a YM I have to give my vote to a YM?

Why would the Submariner need more than one entry? The Explorer and Explorer II are two completely different watches. Why should they share one entry?

Also you're not giving your vote to the YM, they just have to be bundled up together due to option limitations. Did you even read the initial post?

Submariner without a doubt.



GMT ain't bad, either. I could live with these two (if I had to).
