I am so tired of all this value speculation and hype around certain models...
The hype and Value aside:
What is your favourite Rolex as The Everyday Rolex? Design, wearability and possible story behind?
After all this personal roller coaster ride of mine with watches, these are the top three:
The Datejust 41, TT, jubilee with champagne dial:
The most comfortable bracelet which beats the Day-Date because of the easylink. The closest you can get (with larger modern Rolex) if you want to get close experiencing Dr. King’s Rolex-legacy. The history of the Datejust is the strongest in Rolex-line?

Rolex GMT Master II, full gold:
One of the most useful complications Rolex has to offer. The feel of full gold watch as its best? With the easylink it is possible to wear this gold chunk in summer also. The dial variations are more interesting when comparing to the steel GMT-line. The full rg might be the most beautiful, but is it suitable for a Real Man?

Rolex Yacht-Master II:
I know. Many do hate this watch. It is not hot, hyped or concidered as an investment...

I like this model: great complication in a mechanical watch. Big watch that doesn’t wear big. You can truly feel the watch which hugs your wrist and has a character of its own. What would mr Wilsdorf think?

What’s yours?

Sea Dweller 50th anniversary. But It’s the steel diver category that I vote for.

For me it has to be one of these. Both have a rich heritage and are useful daily wearers.

I prefer SS professional Rolex references, as Wilsdorf intended.

Besides that, they are fun to look

This one. No story behind it. Just spoke to me.

DateJust 36mm is the epitome of everyday Rolex.

With regard to function, it is a versatile sports watch that will serve you well in any rigorous activity yet will undoubtedly pass for a dress watch when it comes time to dorn formal wear.

With regard to timekeeping, it will serve any owner well and has a date (some can’t live without it apparently).

Aesthetically, this watch has stood the test of time and looks just as good on a variety of wrists 60 years ago as it does now.

My SkyD gives me the most pleasure for everyday wear. It was a long time unobtainable for me and since I got it enjoyed everyday.
The feel of having this chunk of gold on your wrist is awesome.

Alternating with my Sub which I also enjoy for it's simple no nonsense style. There is a time for everything

Have you also experienced the Daytona with Oysterflex? What do you think of that?

My Sea-Dweller 16600 is my current fav, I like the aluminum bezel, smaller numerals and indice plots and cyclops-less date window.
