What is your favorite SS Rolex model?
I know the question is very generic but let's hear from you guys.
As for me it's the Sea Dweller 16600 and the GMT Master Pepsi dial

Of the older versions the GMT has always been my favorite. New references the EXP II hits all the sweet spots for me.

The SUB(16610) or the GMT(16710). Those to me are quintessential rolexes.

Perfection would be a vintage Comex, MilSub or Daytona.

Of the more modern ones, I think the Explorer 114270 stands out for its balanced design.

The really good designs ended with the SD 16600 with lugholes! :-)

And then you gotta love the absurdly over-engineered Deepsea!

I'll give that a huge second. I love my sexy 16610. Never will I part with mine. I'd love to add the 16600 at some point. Lug holes all the way as well.

The 16610LV sings to me, but if I were to have one, I'd prefer the ACTUAL 50th anniversary watch with a Y Serial, and sadly the prices on those put them a little out of reach for me at this time. So I will have to "settle" for my 16710 Coke with holes and SEL.

Ditto on the GMT and Daytona, but I'll extend the field to "any Daytona."
