BTW, I LOVE mine!

Voted for the Submariner

However, I guess (as has already been said) that the DJ is the most instantly recognised out there

Oyster Perpetual

There are a number of good choices, but I would have to pick the classic oyster perpetual model.

It has been around for a long time and whether 1965 or 2010; it is the watch many identify as a Rolex by sight.
