What is the most non-Rolex Rolex?

I showed my wife a pic of a Milgauss and she didn’t believe me that it was a Rolex at first.

Like most non-WIS people she thinks Sub/Datejust/Daytona when she hears Rolex. Basically all the standard herd watches

So I thought it would be fun to hear what everyone here thinks.

Important note: this is not an attack on unloved/uncommon models, in fact it is a salute to them and their uniqueness and independence.

This is the one I showed her. I think it is stunning.

Not the Milgauss, it looks like most DJs, the two above are more outliers, like the Tridor and Leopard.

Rolex "UFO" is built like a tin can. I have one and I am in love with it, but when I show it to people, they don't believe Rolex really made a watch like that.

Zenith Daytonas

A solid watch but even today, Rolex Corp says little about it being the Zenith 4030 calibre with mods.
