Best Looking Rolex...?
OK, not your favorite, or the one you want to own. What Rolex do you like the looks of best?
For example my favorites are GMTs but I don't think they look better than other models. Besides the obvious 18k Day/Date (perhaps with a black face) I personally think the best looking Rolex is a Blue face sub 18k/SS. Talk about a beautiful watch. If only they made a full size Day/Date 18k with a blue face. That I might think about saving up for.

The TT Bluesy is a stunning watch and I think the latest TT GMT takes some beating - here's another 2 shots of mine that I haven't posted before:

For me its the ones I own. A polar dial Explorer II and a matte dial Pepsi GMT. I'm very happy for my two.

Felly, I'll post a picture of mine later - it's exactly as you've specified above and it's utterly awesome.

Exactly the same Day-Date from Bo`s reply and TT Blue Sub are,IMHO,most beautiful Rolex watches.

Wow, they are all nice, not sure there is a "best looking one"
But for me. I suppose SD sings the right song. By the way tried on a two tone Yacht Master with blue dial yesterday, I've always loved that blue dial but the watch itself once on did not inspire me.

YG Daytona 116528 black dial with champagne subdials. SS Daytona is a very close second.

The best impressive watch of Rolex current collection must be this one in gold.
The Gold/Steel version is a good alternative for less than half the price but it is not the same. |

I love my GMT II. I wear it more than of my other Rolexes. A true "tool" watch.

I love the blue sub, but it is so difficult to get a good picture. Maybe I will try again.
BTW, I like this one too:

THe TT blue sub is my favorite watch that I own at the moment. I have a white dial SS Daytona on the way and that is nice however the YG Daytona shown below is simply beautiful.
I just need to figure out a way to buy one. Photo courtesy of Welshwatchman. |

I would say a nice matt dial...with a little splash of RED,
Maybe a gloss dial....with a little gilt, |
