Personally I feel that Sub's and DSSD's (I feel that a DSSD is in the Sub family)

In the current Rolex model lineup----which ones are most popular

1) Sub (LV,LN,LB...TT)
2) DSSD
3) Daytona
4) Datejust
5) Milgauss

Opinions ?

yannis · 8 October 2011, 08:56 AM

GMT also.

brkanand · 8 October 2011, 09:00 AM

Two tone GMT Master Ceramic

Deepsea Florida · 8 October 2011, 09:00 AM

Sorry forgot GMT---

So maybe.....

1)Sub
2)GMT
3) DSSD
4) Daytona
5) Datejust
6) Milgauss
7) Air King

McLovin · 8 October 2011, 09:04 AM

I like the Explorer

overgrower · 8 October 2011, 09:07 AM

Datejust / Daydate are definitely the most popular in the Rolex lineup. If you meant the professional series then yes, the submariner wins.

Dilemma · 8 October 2011, 09:24 AM

My Guess?

Sub Date
GMT
DateJust
Daytona
Exp

moviefreak · 8 October 2011, 09:30 AM

Most popular by far Datejust.. Then Sub

2. datejust (although this would be 1st if include the women's sizes/sales as well)
3. GMT
4. Explorer
5. Daytona
6. DSSD
7. Yatchmaster
8. Milgauss
9. DayDate

SaddleSC · 8 October 2011, 09:47 AM

Worldwide the Datejust is #1, then I would guess is the Submariner.

bYAZZ · 8 October 2011, 09:49 AM

Datejust
Sub
GMT
Daytona

Osbong · 8 October 2011, 11:41 AM

1. SUB
2. DJ/DD
3. GMT
4. Daytona

Why is the Day Date so unpopular?

not unpopular as such just far more expensive than a steel sub , GMT etc etc

Thus less people are able to afford/willing to spend so much

Saxon007 · 8 October 2011, 01:25 PM

I worked at a Rolex AD 30 years ago when I was in college. For every sports model that was sold we moved at least 10 Datejusts.

I could be wrong, and do not profess to have any sense of mastery with regards to Rolex sales but some of what you said could be a function of era. I think men would get a Datejust as a dressy/white collar watch to wear every day - especially if they were in a suit and tie every day. Then, they wore them on weekends as well.

Today, a sports model can be worn in a business setting. All right, my DSSD does not fit with closely trimmed French cuffs but the Daytona certainly works and I frequently wear one of my beloved GMTs. Rolex sports models (and Omegas, PAMS, etc.) abound in the wild for work, play, casual and dress.

Sports watches used to be seen as a casual or active wear watch. James Bond certainly helped re-define this as did nore and more men, typically younger, wearing their sports model Rolex wathes everyday to their suit and tie jobs. BTW, they're great on weekends as well.

My point is that the Datejust appears ubiquitous but only when considering years and decades of sales. I would think that today the Subs and GMTs are what the Datejust was at one time.M

I think they're pretty popular, however the cost to buy one has a great affect on how many people actually get one.

SC11 · 8 October 2011, 09:34 PM

Yeah I'd say date/just by far as top seller !

Then the Sub but I not sure how the GMTII-C impacted this prior to the Sub-C release !

SC11 · 8 October 2011, 09:36 PM

But then think of the Daytona sales if supply had met demand !!!

MY-WATCH · 8 October 2011, 12:16 PM

For non WIS
DJ/DD
Sub/GMT/DSSD
Daytona
Exp/exp II
Milguss

yemenmocha · 8 October 2011, 12:55 PM

Datejust
Submariner

They're everywhere, so incredibly common.

Then Day-Date and GMT. Daytonas are NOT common on wrists in public.

Come to NYC! I was at the Yankees playoff game a couple nights back - swear it seems like they were handing out Daytonas at the gate.

slcbbrown · 8 October 2011, 09:34 PM

Most sold (how else to define popular) has to be the DJ's by a mile. Least popular is probably the Daytona or Milly.

tifosi · 8 October 2011, 09:46 PM

I say..
1.DJ
2.Sub
3.GMT

Then I think the rest of the sports models can battle it out!

travisb · 8 October 2011, 11:43 PM

1 and 2

The GMT Master · 9 October 2011, 03:06 AM

Sub, GMT and Daytona sales are all pretty similar for us, Subs are the most popular right now. Sell a lot of Datejusts as well

Shelby-villian · 9 October 2011, 04:03 AM

Anyone who doesn't put DateJust #1 doesn't know Rolex. I see more DJs then all models combined by far.
