The ceramic sub is the perfect modern Rolex. And second place is the Daytona. But I also love the other models.

SubC. It's the classic with the modern touches. When you hear the name "Rolex", you think of the Sub.

1(a) Sea-Dweller 116600 (not in your list)
1(b) BLNR
1(c) SubC 114060

I also like the Dayton 116500 in both dials but probably white the most.

Yeah, when I take on wrist pics, I hold my wrist at a funny angle, makes it dig in and look super tight. I can easily slide a finger underneath the bracelet

Not sure what you mean by "modern day"
While you haven't listed the OP or AirKing (mine is the 114200), They get my vote

None of the above, the 116520 white dial is IMO with black dial close behind. It has a 5 digit look/feel with all the modern features of the 6 digit pieces. An all around winner

No way, same like rest of the world.. ADs with 300 names on their waiting lists, asking for a premium and may be a down payment as well.
