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

Every watch company makes a copy of the SS Sub Date in one form or another. No effort to pay homage to the Raiders or their fans but there is something about that silver and black combo that just looks right!

I also thought that was an awesome watch until I saw this beauty 2 weeks ago and got to try it on. It was all I could do to remove it from my wrist after 10 minutes. It didn't help that my wife was right there with me and even she was really impressed with how it looked on me (typically watches don't impress her a whole lot).

White Gold Day Date with stick markers and white face. The white face is very rare in white gold for some reason.

The classic

Two-tone Oyster Perpetual Datejust #116233. Its classic Rolex look is so sought after that other watch manufactures have copied its looks and marketed the style.
