Best overall daily Rolex/Tudor in your opinion

I’ve been lucky to wear a daily Rolex, Tudor and now Carl F. Bucherer periodically.

Right now I’m enjoying a CFB because Rolex purchased the company and it’s a great watch.

What is your current Rolex daily?

I have a few Rolex's. That said I was starting out with a Black Daytona for a long time. Now I am switching it up. I thank the Lord for blessing me as I wouldn't be able to afford one other wise.

My favourite daily is the Explorer 36mm. It's comfortable, goes with anything and is low-key.

I don’t just have one…but if I was to recommend a one and done for maximum versatility I’d suggest an Ex1, DJ, or OP.

I run a Tudor gmt daily.
On the list for a new 05 Air King to rotate with it.

This one probably gets more wrist time than all my other Tudors and Rolexes combined. Still keeping perfect time with strong amplitude after nine years with no service.

Simple: DJ41.

I think the DJ41 is the most versatile piece in the Rolex lineup. It works great with a tshirt and shorts or a tailored suit.

The sport models looks great dressed down but I think thr DJ is better at dressing down than the sport models are at dressing up.

I could probably be talked into the Daytona as well, but I’m going with thr DJ.

Submariner for me... Definitely an all around use watch that I enjoy looking at and comfortable on the wrist

Explorer 1 or day-date 36 platinum. I would say dd36 plat out of the 2. You really don't need any other watch as it's the classiest rolex offers + it's robust enough for all sorts of physical activity including swimming + you have the best PM of all (for watches).

As this observation suggests, it may depend somewhat on your lifestyle and personal preferences. If you are inclined towards a bit dressy, then DD/DJ or ExpI might be preferred. If you're inclined towards a very active lifestyle/pursuits, then a sports model might be a good choice (sub, GMT, Exp II, even daytona). Personally, I'm inthe latter camp and prefer the SS sports models (mostly sub, but GMT, daytona)

I wear a GMT(126710BLNR) to work everyday from Mon-Fri and I have a Submariner(1166010LV) that I wore in the weekends as it is more casual
