There’s too many to choose from but I think my number 1 is the GMT BLRO on Oyster

If asking which is the “flagship” model, I think it has to be the DD, for tradition’s sake.

Definitely the DayDate. Even if said it's not the king it will always be the President!

From a complication and technical perspective, it's the Sky Dweller.

Platinum DD. That watch is the King. Platona is the Prince.

Aren’t all Rolex has a crown on the dial? Would that not make them king?

Using those criteria I'd have to say it's the DJ hands down.

Day Date is still the king of the brand in my little universe, but not the one model I would want to own to rule them all. For me that would be an all PM Sky Dweller.

Thanks for the info, I'm sure you can't wait to write that pedantic response in every thread where a subjective opinion is involved; which is probably, like, 80% of the threads on this discussion forum.
