Jeez, this is a tough one. I have two listed on the poll. But if it came down on which one had to go for a trade into something else, then the 116619 Smurf would stay.

New WG sub. Love the new proportions and it is a versatile watch. Have owned the Smurf but the blue does not go with everything although I did enjoy it, I sold it to add the newer version. It would be hard for me to choose between it and the meteorite GMT but that was not on the list.

I went for the 126619LB because you didn’t give me a 116519/ 126519 option…

I’ve owned all those. I’d say the not mentioned 126519. The black dial is so good and no1 seems to be talking about it

Best??….very subjective. Personally, none of these are “my” best WG choice. Whatever you perceive as the best for “you”….that’s the best one.
If choosing from your list, I’d choose Smurf.

I have this watch too but doesn’t it fusteate you that in 2018 Rolex basically counterfeited it? We are no longer exclusive and share with stainless steel. Would love to hear what people think about this.

Firstly, you can’t counterfeit your own product, and secondly, I actually prefer it in stainless steel, but on jubilee.

The white gold owners got screwed. I am contemplating selling it and getting an exclusive white gold watch like Smurf, Cookie Monster, etc

The best white gold reference? Professional series

I own a 126719 and a 116519 but I think the best
modern WG is the WG Mayer blue dial.

It’s special and elevated yet still versatile enough for daily wear. Total perfection.
