The Best looking Rolex....?

Which Rolex model is the best looking? I think it is the 18K Daytona with dark mother of pearl dial and diamond markers.

I'm kind of liking the look of the old SD 4000, an absolute classic love wearing it!

Forgert all the fancy variations and dials.

There are two classic models whose beauty, stylistic purity and simplicity are outstanding -

SS Sub Date with black bezel.
SS DJ with fluted bezel and silver stick dial.

Everything else is a variation on these two icons.

On balance, I would probably say the Sub - but it's close.

18k Yellow Gold GMT IIc with black dial. I tried one on last week and almost couldn't take it off. This despite the fact I'm not a big fan of yellow gold.

The TT Blue Sub closely followed by the SS PL YM ( IMO the YM is the most photogenic Rolex )

If there is one thing this thread shows it is that all Rolex watches are equally beautiful

Not a lemon amongst them.

No fair picking classics that one can't readily buy.
