I'd never heard of any of the options apart from the Sub before I got "into" watches. Based on that alone I'd say the Sub is the clear winner from the list. That said, I'd also heard of/seen the SeaMaster, so I'd say it's about as "iconic" outside the watch community.

That is an excellent point and I don’t disagree. My struggle is, the Newman Daytona auction was probably the biggest event in ten plus years, impact wise, on the number of new folks to the hobby.
For me I picked the sub because it has reached that “cultural icon” status that when someone says ”dive watch” the first image they think of is the Rolex Submariner

Going with Omega Moonwatch. A new Omega Moonwatch is closer to an old Omega Moonwatch than a new Rolex Submariner is to an old Rolex Submariner.
I had to vote for the most "homaged" watch on AliExpress; the Submariner! 😂
So, I have one of these:
but clearly the iconic watch for JLC is the Reverso.

Oh yeah absolutely
