Why is it that Sub owners can see the forest for the trees.

And I agree. If the Datejust is an old man watch, what does that say of a watch whom we keep referencing a fiction character from the the 80's, 70's and 60's.

Two Tone DJ with Champagne dial right up there too.
Agree 100%

I see you're still struggling with pulling the trigger on a Datejust

The Sub in my mind at least. It's the model I've coveted since I was little kid reading National Geographic ads about them.

Daytona came in the 70's. it's most "valuable" if you may agree. But sub sets standard and iconic?! I could be wrong though

I think the Sub is the most thought of Rolex, but I tend to think DJ when I think of this brand.
