The one you like the best.

Personally, I like the SD 16600 the best but that is just my opinion.

The best Rolex is the one you want to own and wear irrespective of hype or cost other opinions its that simple.

100% true! It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks about a watch, the one that smiles at you is the best… price, hype and scarcity might provide a brief buzz but they won’t make a watch smile at you.

There is no such think as a best Rolex.

But this is the best answer.

What's your criteria?

Retail / resale differential?
Perceived quality or longevity?
Exclusivity?

My personal preference.

Sky-Dweller 336934 (white dial, jubilee).


Recently gone from a Datejust 16030 to a Yacht-Master 126622 but would be tempted in a year or so with the 336934.
