I think that it all depends on your frame of reference. If you are a sportsy/outdoorsy kind of person, the iconic Rolex will probably be a sub or expy. If you're a business/exec kind of person, the iconic Rolex will prob be the DD or DJ. Just my

We must admit that Rolex based the Submariner design on the FF by Blancpain .

a number of watches some years ago. He took the ones he recognized and/or thought were 'valuable'. He left the ones the didn't think he could sell quickly. The moron took a gold-plated Invicta Sub-clone and left the SS Daytona sitting next to it.

I sure wish I had cought the stooge inside my house.

My 2$.....Rolex is the Icon of watches. Regardless of model. Its the one brand poeple all over the world recognize/ associate with when it comes to timekeeping.

It depends on who you ask (obviously), since it is based on personal perception.

For me, it was either a DateJust or DayDate.

The Submariner, without doubt. All moderns sport/dive watches have their direct lineage to the Submariner.

My vote goes for the Submariner!
