What is your favorite Rolex reference of all time?

126600

That one is killer—still has vintage vibes

Paul Newman daytona

That Daytona is killer. I’d say my favorite Rolex reference is the one I wear today: 126720BLRO. I love the older versions of it, and I’m sure I’ll love never versions, but everything on this works for me. Plus, you probably know what kinds of pain I went through to get it.

Oooh to many amazing choices but Sub 14060 and DJ 16xxx are flawless watches in my eyes across all Brands and price ranges

Platona, full gold Root Beer, Hulk, Coke… how does one decide?

Congrats on getting one!!

Icons for sure

124060 no date sub

126900

That’s a real tough one .. I think the Explorer and Submariner are two fantastic timeless watch designs but my pick would very narrowly be for the DayDate. Yellow gold , Roman numerals, Daydate is for me the epitome of Rolex 👌🏽

It’s all mine… only in my dreams

A man was in a horrible crash with his Porsche. When the ambulance arrived, they found him severely injured, whimpering "my Porsche... my Porsche..."

The emergency crew then had the difficult task to inform him that his left arm was totally ripped off.

To this, he replied in agony: "Oh no! My Rolex! My Rolex!"

That’s my favorite reference to Rolex.

That one IMHO is quite good

For me it would have to be the Submariner and the Pepsi.

My first choice is the Explorer 2 white dial. Second choice is the Daytona panda

The original Explorer II (1655) and the 16610 Submariner get my votes.

I owned them both till the prices got so stupid I couldn't justify wearing them - and therefore keeping them! Now I sport Steinhart homages to them and love 'em!

I appreciate the shoutout!!

Choosing a favorite Rolex is an impossible task for me because my admiration spans across a wide variety of their masterpieces. From stone and mother-of-pearl dials to vintage calendar chronographs and the celestial allure of meteorite variations, my passion covers them all. I have a particular fondness for unique, gem-set pieces like SABR & SARU. I’m currently enamored with my 126720VTNR GMT “Sprite,” though the Daytona reigns as my top pick. My dream collection would feature the meteorite Daytona, a SABR Submariner, and a SARU GMT. And the Rainbow Daytona—let's just say it's in a league of its own!

I’m going with the 224270 since that’s the one that got my money.

These are my 2 fav references of all my collection

1981 Oyesetrquartz

2004 Submariner

I personally really like the Milguass with the green sapphire and the Submariner, but I would be happy with any Rolex, vintage or modern. 😅

Not very flash but the 5513 is exactly what comes to mind when I think Rolex so that would be the one.
