36mm DateJust.

1. Rolex Submariner steel date (yes, the original Sub came without the date but the cyclops is the new contemporary Rolex look which gets recognized).

2. Two-tone DateJust (80'S icon)

3. Yellow gold Day-Date (the prez watch)

4. Pepsi GMT Master

In my mind there's absolutely no doubt that Submariner is the quintessential Rolex.

This is the exact list I had in mind, too, 100%.

Hard to argue with this.

Have to go with either the sub or the DateJust two-tone. Here is my DJ with the silver/white dial - 35+ years old and still looking great! I gave it to my son when he turned 25. I asked him which one he wanted, thinking he would rather have the sub, but he wanted the exact one I had been wearing for the last 35 year.

London88 · 26 June 2021, 11:35 PM

The 36mm oyster perpetual? Clean, simple, well executed.

Weller40 · 27 June 2021, 07:58 AM

As much as I would love to call other models that I like more, I can't help but say, Submariner.

The boy has great taste!

Sub date for sure

For me, definitely the TT DJ and the DD. The sub would be for later generations as they were not well known by the general population when I bought my 1680 sub in 1978.

Cryptochonos1 · 29 August 2021, 10:21 AM

First that comes to mind is the Daytona(platinum), a little bit unorthodox but it’s the new “you made it watch” for me

Cryptochonos1 · 29 August 2021, 10:21 AM

Second I would say the classic submariner( yellow gold blue dial)

t60 · 29 August 2021, 10:23 AM

TT DJ

Rolex themselves said OP though..

And if it were just my opinion it's be Sub Date

HideMyWalletPlease · 29 August 2021, 10:33 AM

To non watch enthusiasts, they just imagine some blend of sub, day date, datejust, yachtmaster. You have to actually be interested in these things to start telling them apart. For everyone else, it’s just a Rolex.

TexSub · 29 August 2021, 01:00 PM

Before I got into Rolex, or Swiss watches in general, the image of a two tone black dial Submariner Date, with a fixation on the cyclops, popped in my head if I heard someone mention "Rolex", even before I knew it was called a "Submariner". Must have seen one as my first Rolex and the image always stuck in my mind or something.

ffscala · 29 August 2021, 06:14 PM

Cellini ;-D

Tikandtokalot · 29 August 2021, 07:53 PM

Submariner no question.

Old Expat Beast · 29 August 2021, 07:57 PM

TT Datejust.

michael1234 · 30 August 2021, 04:59 AM

Gold DayDate, without a doubt. Roman numerals.

What's a Yacht-Master?

It might be easier to list the non quintessential models... Yacht-Master, Milgauss, Explorer - the general public has no awareness of these models. But I don't see any reasonable way to pick between DJ/DD/GMT/Sub/Daytona for the most quintessential award... and that's what makes Rolex, Rolex. 60+ years of 5 hugely iconic models, who else can claim that?
