Rolex_07 · 27 February 2008, 01:12 PM

DD stands for Day-Date. This means that it has both the weekday, and the day of the month.

In the US, it is also called The President/Presidential

Rolex Freak · 27 February 2008, 01:17 PM

Thanks.

mdtddd2007 · 27 February 2008, 01:59 PM

Top Five:
SD
YM Plat.
Daytona SS
MG GV
GMT II C

DoxaDavid · 27 February 2008, 02:01 PM

I would say in historical importance and in no particular order:

1. Day-Date President
2. Submariner
3. Daytona
4. GMT's
5. DateJust

By your question I am assuming you mean models and not particular versions or series. That would be even more complicated and really open to endless debate.

I don't think many can argue with these being 5 of the most important Rolex models ever made. Just an opinion, others might very!

Arturo · 27 February 2008, 01:30 PM

First off, the franchise(1) SS Sub
(2) SS Daytona
(3)Platinum YM
(4)GMT ll non c
(5)TOG DJ

lildragon · 27 February 2008, 02:00 PM

rolex32000 · 27 February 2008, 02:14 PM

1. The YG DD. It's the iconic Rolex. A classic.
2. The SS Daytona. It's the grail watch of all of the WISs.
3. The Sub. Any flavor. It's the watch you get when you want a Rolex.
4. The GMT. Any flavor. It's the other great tool watch of Rolex.
5. The DateJust. It's a tradition.

Just my humble opinion, y'all!
