I'm wondering what your favorite Rolex pieces are that easily fly under the radar and don't attract much attention.

Hmmm

Any without a date window. The Explorer flies under quite well especially when not on a bracelet. I have had mine mistaken for a Hamilton Khaki, which certainly doesn't offend.

True, most with a date window are dead giveaways. I'd argue a non date window Submariner is also pretty obvious though.

To me, the Mercedes hands on this watch make it unmistakably a ROLEX. I don't own one, but think it is unquestionably a great watch. I think any OP model comes closer to an under the radar Rolex, though the applied crown at 12 o'clock is pretty easy to spot.

I can safely say that none of my watches has attracted any attention, and I prefer it that way

Agreed on the Sub!

True on the Mercedes hands but if you are looking that close you are going to be able to read Rolex anyway.

The date bubble is the distance giveaway.

Most ss Rolex qualify. Another reason I love them!

Explorer can easily fly under the radar. I believe so can OP39. Basically keep away from sports models, PM or TT and models with date.

cvo · 1 April 2019, 09:49 AM

Milgauss is under the radar - I love the green tint crystal!

abozz · 1 April 2019, 09:52 AM

Explorer I or II are beautiful under the radar.

spammyman · 1 April 2019, 10:06 AM

I'll throw out another.. vintage air-kings.

spammyman · 1 April 2019, 10:48 AM

What about the Cellini line?

ppalasthira · 1 April 2019, 11:35 AM

Cellini. Pearl master.

People are oblivious. My EX2 has never been noticed (the way I like it). Wear what you like

I’m in the UK, and if I was to travel outside the UK I’d wear my 16570 as it the most unrolex looking rolex and doesn’t attract attention. Especially when I have it on a blue rubber strap. I don’t want to make it obvious on my wrist when out and about abroad....better chance if not being mugged with blingy number on my wrist.

That's nice. Where did you get your strap?

It’s an Everest rubber strap....here’s a link to the site, super comfy and real quality when you see them in person.
