RIP which discontinued model do you like the most?

Discontinued but never forgotten
Which one out of the discontinued/changed models do you value and like the most and why?

I’m Lucky to have this one! However I think the smurf is a grail watch, I’m very disappointed that it has been discontinued.

SD4K, Hulk or Kermit

Kermit - I like the looking of 5 digit Sub, the main con is the rudimentary clasp, 6 digit version bracelet would make it perfect

Hulk - the sunburst emerald dial is unique and enchanting, though there are always haters or sour grapes complainants like all other popular models.

SD4k - the first ceramic and last 40mm SD, only 3 years in production and unpopular, looks like a black sub but better proportion, basically checked all boxes to wear or collect

SD4K wins my final vote

Easy one for me, I hate that I traded my Smurf a couple years ago. I immediately missed it and thought about buying another. It seems that the market just needed me to sell mine for the price to shoot up, lol. In a matter if months it had risen 6G or so....and well now, it's just way out of reach.

This purely depends on what models you already have

So for me sd4k - the last of the classic Rolex divers. That one, now we have larger subs puts it into perspective just how good it was !

All of the 5 digit reference models are the ideal for me.

Perfect blend of recent but still classic styling and newer movements.

I have an 114270 which is basically an slightly updated 14270.

36mm explorer, 40mm explorer 2, 5-digit sub and GMT are all perfect in my view!
