It would be between the SD43 and the EXP2 for me. Too close to call.

116500

TeddyS · 20 July 2018, 04:52 AM

I’m very bias here but it has to be the 126600 SD43. I know for sure I won’t ever let this piece go. I’m looking forward to getting my hands on the DSSD JC and Skydweller very soon so I will have more to compare to, although I can’t see this being trumped for me.

I have trouble wanting a steel rolex knowing that the fakes are SOOOO accurate. Would bother me if someone assumed it was fake.

sensui · 20 July 2018, 04:56 AM

It'd be the 116500 for me...but if I needed a one and only, would be the blnr.

davidbud88 · 20 July 2018, 05:00 AM

BLNR with no doubt!!!

PLNYC · 20 July 2018, 05:00 AM

BLNR, admire it as much as I did the first time I saw it.

JRT · 20 July 2018, 05:03 AM

BLNR for sure.

MCOSUB · 20 July 2018, 05:04 AM

Im going with the Hulk. A very recognizable watch from a distance, it wears wonderfully and it has the green color I think of when I think of Rolex.

Stevec14 · 20 July 2018, 05:06 AM

116500 for me. Perfect mix of modern materials and classic case sizing.

RolexLuthor · 20 July 2018, 05:09 AM

This is the only stainless steel sports model I have ever been totally satisfied with! Ive been through them all and trust me if you get a chance to pick this model up, do it!

Best of both worlds.

Why Z or newer ? Thanks for comment

The one in the middle is my new favorite but these other 2 aren’t too far behind.

chloebear · 20 July 2018, 05:25 AM

Explorer II. 42mm is a great modern size. I’ve had many other models and nothing takes wrist time from my Explorer II.

Although they are all so good I’d be fine with any SS professional Rolex.

What a stunner! Just a fantastic watch. I absolutely love the raised crystal. It's a small thing, but it makes all the difference.

I'd go with that as well however it isn't in the 2018 catalog. For me the next is the DaytonaC.

Yeah I would agree with the Daytona but unfortunately for me that is an unobtainable grail! Enjoy it!

I thought the same thing until I got the 126660 D-blue. I would like to add a blue SD for my Rolex trio. But not sure that will happen at the price they are getting.

jb335 · 20 July 2018, 06:37 AM

So tough to pick just one. And it depends on what you are asking exactly...

If I had a nice vintage collection to go along with ONE modern, I'd be tempted to take the Sub LV. If we are talking owning just one watch period and it had to be a modern one, it would probably be the Daytona C white dial.
