Which Rolex under $11,000 attracts the most attention from the average person in daily life? I guess this would be based on "bling" factor, although I am sure one could make an argument for size (such as 43mm Deep Sea).

Appreciate your opinions. Feel free to share stories about a Rolex that "got noticed" (in the price range)!

TT Sub Blue... People ogle my dad's all the time.

tubojunk · 21 April 2009, 01:59 PM

I would probably have to say the TT blue sub as well, or any other gold model. Only thing I don't really like about the TT blue sub is that it has so many imitators!

Watchdog · 21 April 2009, 02:14 PM

tt blue sub or serti dial???

gmtobsessed · 21 April 2009, 04:13 PM

IMO most of TT Rolex.

Tombstone · 21 April 2009, 04:17 PM

The new GMT II is an eye catcher. I have had strangers say awesome watch. None of my other Rolexs seem to catch peoples eyes. The TT blue Sub is the Rolex for which the company is known. Now it has been updated. Lets wait and see if it remains the flag ship.

Yume-sama · 21 April 2009, 04:41 PM

People really notice an SS Daytona. When on the rare occasion I wear mine, it seems to get a LOT of attention.

I wear Black in Asia, White in North America to appeal to the local favorites

Definitely this one!!!!

Singslinger · 21 April 2009, 05:12 PM

Either the Deepsea or S/S Yachtmaster (or "Platty'' as it's known in these parts).

mic6 · 21 April 2009, 06:15 PM

100% it is the TT blue sub
Believe it or not the TT blue sub attracted same attention as my YM II in YG

Chris B · 21 April 2009, 06:35 PM

IMO its definitely this one, whoever thought of it just got got it so right

handdoc · 21 April 2009, 08:21 PM

i would vote Daytona

TSW · 21 April 2009, 08:29 PM

Bluesy SCREAMS out Rolex!!!

Saladin · 21 April 2009, 08:30 PM

TT Sub and TT Daytona ( with white dial)

ROLEX MAN · 21 April 2009, 09:31 PM

None --- the average person wouldn't pick a watch worth $11000 !!

and if they see "ROLEX" they think it's fake!

Very, very true!

But for recognition factor - I say Daytona gets the most ogles!

landroverking · 21 April 2009, 10:06 PM

I would say the TT Blue Sub and the 18Kt gold Sub. I have had both of these in the past and always got more looks from non watch folks.

zak98 · 21 April 2009, 10:14 PM

platty or bluesy.. IMO

Gaijin · 21 April 2009, 10:28 PM

Any TT or SS GMT II C or SS Daytona,,,

i think rolex in the wild is known for the tt datejust....

bodybump · 21 April 2009, 11:07 PM

i think anything with bling...

sirjohnbrian · 22 April 2009, 12:01 AM

The only time anyone has ever noticed my watch was when I walked into an AD while I was vacationing in Jamaica and the saleswoman commented that I was the first person she saw wearing one.

I hate to say this but I doubt many people look at wristwatches.

tthopp05 · 22 April 2009, 12:37 AM

Deepsea seems to turn heads over here.

abr68 · 22 April 2009, 12:39 AM

TT Sub, TT GMT, Sub date 16610 or LV

I find the quite opposite to be true; I am constantly getting comments on my wristwatches!! I guess it depends on type of environment you are in or the people you are surrounded by.

It is very often that I do receive a comment on my watch or my bracelet on the opposite wrist.

submariner16610 · 22 April 2009, 02:22 AM

gmt2c tt, sub black or blue tt

rkot07 · 22 April 2009, 03:00 AM

Before I had the SS Yachtmaster I would notice if someone was wearing the watch across the room...
So my vote is the SS Yachtmaster
