Any SD without a Cyclops.

Too easy, like shooting fish in a barrel.
DayDate for sure…

How would you define. 'best'?
If you mean, most legible, then, as Adam says, probably anything without a 'cyclops'. Opinions on this will differ.

All those with the Cyclops.
The Cyclops is a peculiar feature of Rolex. After a certain age we tend to see less closely and the magnifying glass is comfortable. |

On today’s sports models, Rolex could easily make the date larger and drop the Cyclops (I have many other watches with larger, clearly legible dates, not requiring my reading glasses) but they seem to keep making the date deliberately small so that the “iconic” Cyclops seems more useful than it really is.

It is the same across the line. Most have the magnifier which helps with a direct on view but makes it harder to read the date from an angle view.

Any model with the quickest date feature.
Cyclops preferred for readability which gives it the Rolex ‘look’.

GMT gets my vote for best "Date", but if you insist the "date" has to include the "Day" of the week, it would be the DD.

I can read the date with or without a cyclops so I have a huge range to choose from.
But I still mainly wear my 14060m as my weekly watch.

Dressy = Day Date 40
Sports = SD4K This is of course just my opinion
