But from a technical standpoint (modern movement, great power reserve), looks standpoint and Rolex history standpoint, the Datejust is iconic and is recognized as so by most.

'The reason' is that many buyers follow trends and have not developed enough personal style to guide them in their purchases so they buy what's accepted. You can see this by looking at some of the collections that are presented on the forum, too much of the same.....The collections that are most interesting have diversity and include models that are off the radar....What I love about the Datejust is the wide diversity available...something for everybody!
