Great observation Larry

So many great references and each has its own fan base, love it

Having three of your 6 choices, my favorite is the WG SubC. It's a PM and I really like its flat blue color. I could wear it anywhere, anytime.

I also notice, it's not doing too well in the poll. Shows you what I know.

I'm pretty sure it's the price that keeps the PM numbers down.

SubC gets my vote.

Not sure about that Richie. The OP asked a simple question: The best looking modern Rolex. Not the more exclusive, the one you want but can't afford etc. All Subs are great and the Smurf is a wonderful reference of course, but it has a flat blue dial - people like sunburst a bit more around here -, it looks like SS but with a yellow hue and not the white sharp look of 904 ss, and it has polished center links and I'm not sure everyone agrees with that on a Sub. So, with that said and IMHO, on looks alone the WG Sub doesn't hold a candle to the 114060 and I believe that's why the Sub-C is winning by a large difference.

114060 just saying

faz · 17 April 2017, 02:08 AM

This is like asking a bunch of college boys to pick the best looking Victoria's Secret model, and why.

There are so many good reasons to like so many of the Rolex watches, I don't think there will be a clear winner.

Being new around here, I must say, Daytona get a lot more attention here amongst the enthusiasts than it does in the wild amongst general Rolex buyers.

Submariner models win for me.

I'd agree if it had panda subdials, don't really like subdial rings anymore, so the WG is the one for me.

Always tougher for PMs, the SS SkyD interest shows how people who didn't think about PMs suddenly take more notice when it is a viable possibility.

SeaAndSky · 17 April 2017, 02:17 AM

To my eyes, it's a dead even tie between the BLNR and the 114060.

All valid points gentleman.

My personal opinion is the white face 116500 because of the black and white contrast and the red "Daytona" font.

Any thoughts?

Tough choices and as mentioned by others, quite a few other models that are not mentioned. Obviously these ones are your preferences.

The BLNR would be my choice based on this list. The perfect blend of sport and dress and suits my lifestyle perfectly. The 114060 is also a very good choice too.

None in your poll. But this is my favourite:

Lemieux66 · 17 April 2017, 02:40 AM

Of the listed options I'd say SubC but of the whole range I'd pick the DD40 YG with stick markers.

Sydny2 · 17 April 2017, 03:15 AM

SubC baby!

Stevec14 · 17 April 2017, 04:07 AM

From there, the wg sub. For me personally, the lv - just stunning

citanest · 17 April 2017, 04:14 AM

Look wise, I like the Sub C and Daytona C equally. It was the just the fit of the Daytona wins me over. The dome backing of the sub made it sit a little higher than I wish. I literally go to the dealer try out the sub c whenever I see those gorgeous sub c photos here. Then, I couldn't pull the trigger because it didn't sit well on my tiny wrist.

cc75 · 17 April 2017, 06:25 AM

For me the case shape, size, lack of cyclops, dial symmetry. It's a very balanced look.

That said I just love a diver and love having a diver bezel. It's much more convenient than operating the Daytona for mere timing of events.

You will have the ultimate WG sports trio with this one, Richie.

sechsgang · 17 April 2017, 07:56 AM

overall subc, does everything and just works in so many scenarios. The others are definitely nice, but there is just something about how the subc does it's thing that's always impressed me.

saskmh · 17 April 2017, 12:08 PM

Not one on your list, but this.

RastabanStar · 17 April 2017, 01:10 PM

I'm surprised to see the SubC out in front of the Daytona and Batman. It's a reminder that the voice of this forum (the active posters) don't align exactly with the average Rolex enthusiast.
