Best Rolex for Everyday wear

[seabreeze60]

Lots of new members are looking for a Rolex.

What is your favorite daily Rolex recommendation?

[Foxiness]

Datejust. Most comfortable and weight is balanced. Wears much more comfy than my gmt and sub

[Seddyspaghetti]

116500. Fits well and although it’s one of the most recognizable pieces, non watch folks have no clue it’s a rolex. Which i like.

GMT on jubilee. The aviation watch which all others are measured against--nothing comes close.

I'm partial to my Sub 41 LV.

It can handle any situation and the green bezel is not very loud at all but makes things interesting.

This, especially in the 16710 variety.

[Ichiran]

The Sub simply because of the ceramic bezel insert and all brushed bracelet which can be micro adjusted.

126613LN - was looking for a Sub for everyday wear but really into two tones for that little bit of extra style and warmth - fits the bill perfectly for that IMO

I'll have to vote for the 11 and 12 series Subs as I purchased mine as an everyday wear piece and it is just as great to wear every day as I figured, if not even better.

Glidelock lets me wear it in cases where I could not wear my last watch. It's a bummer it is only available on the Sub as it's a blessing for folks who are active and experience a lot of wrist swelling!

[Mystro]

For everyday and hiding everyday wear the best, it’s gonna be a SS Sub. The satin finish on the bracelet and clasp is significantly easier to live with everyday than pcl.

12series two tone blue sub makes for a fine daily.

[burnthesehills]

I am likely in the minority here but did not love the glidelock. Thing is huge and I would start getting wrist fatigue after long days. DJ on jubilee much more comfortable and the easylink is ideal for more breathing room.

Admittedly, I have fairly sensitive wrists. And talking long days, like 12 or 13 hours of straight wearing. Sub is still a great watch.

I’ve heard many complain that a GMT on a Jubilee feels a bit unbalanced? Or top-heavy?

[GGGMT]

X1. 36 or 39.

OR

BB58

Date Just for me - but I imagine most any SS model is up to the task

[brandrea]

For every day wear,nothing beats the jubilee IMHO. Comfortable, breathable, lightweight, sturdy, and doesn't show scratches.

I like it alot on this reference

Datejust 36 on jubilee. That would be my recommendation.

This

Glidelock is key and I use the bezel daily to time a variety of things.

op, exp, bb58.

Pepsi on jubilee.

Another vote for the Explorer, either in 36mm or 39mm. Runner up is the Oyster Perpetual. I like that the Explorer has some of the features of the Professional line, such as a more secure clasp on the bracelet.

If a date complication is desired, then some variation of Datejust. It can be toned down with the domed bezel, instead of fluted, and an oyster bracelet, instead of the jubilee, giving it a less dressy look. And, it's available in a range of sizes.

Of course, these days, availability is an entirely different question.

If one prefers a sportier look, you can't go wrong with the Submariner or Submariner Date, or the GMT.

Perfect, I have the same watch. It is my "go to" for daily wear.

[rolexjackson]

I think the current Exp II the current 226 version. Lots of functionality it’s under the radar and the perfect size. Especially in black

Doesn’t get any better than this imo…great looking watch, functional and extremely svelte on the wrist.
