Which Rolex is the most photogenic?

My vote goes for the Sub Date.

Ok, Andrew. I have to admit that's a stunning Sub and your photography is top notch.

Thanks so much, Dan! Sometimes I think I buy watches just so I can photograph them

GMT's are hot, but that Daytona Bisquitlips posted is just exquisite!

They're all photogenic, but if I had to choose, I'd say the Daytona in all its guises - white gold with meteorite dial, S/S, rose gold, etc (except of course, the Leopard version)

It is. And when I get my snowflake back from service I'll remove the nato [hear that, JJ???] so I can reinstall the jubilee on the GMT. Best Rolex combo ever, imho.

Heck, I don't think there could be an outright winner. Just about every single Rolex (with a few notable exceptions) looks fantastic with the right person taking the photo.

They all look fantastic, but my vote would be Yellow Gold Day Date with white porcelain dial with Roman Numeral markers. What on earth wouild be more photogenic.
