What do you consider to be the iconic Rolex - DJ or the Sub?

Chainring · 9 March 2014, 12:47 PM

They are both iconic. The Sub more so.

Old Expat Beast · 9 March 2014, 12:47 PM

Both, and variable according to country.

tkerrmd · 9 March 2014, 12:48 PM

Let's face it to a lot on this board it would be sub no brainier but in the non-WIS world I think nothing screams Rolex more than a DJ IMHO

cptsdr · 9 March 2014, 12:48 PM

Submariner, but by a narrow margin!

Dr. Robert · 9 March 2014, 12:53 PM

It may be the DJ, as it's made for men & women.

justbrowsing · 9 March 2014, 12:57 PM

Datejust (and Day-Date), no question about it. All those big Rolex clocks in airports have the fluted bezel for a reason.

illiguy · 9 March 2014, 01:01 PM

The holy trinity of Rolex is the MilSub, Paul Newman Daytona, and the COMEX Submariners. That's 2 out of 3 submariners. Sub is more iconic.

SixPak · 9 March 2014, 01:04 PM

Datejust with its iconic fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet. One of the most copied watches in history. The Submariner is also right up there and is more popular for sure.

And I would throw the Daytona in that mix as well.

This ^^

, and age. Here in HK, Rolex is everywhere, but the old fellas are DJ guys, while more people in the middle aged to younger generation wear some variation of the Sub

P.S.. From one Old Expat Beast to another, we should get together for a pint sometime!!

jolimont · 9 March 2014, 01:06 PM

the sub

nick c · 9 March 2014, 01:10 PM

I like both

jjnd08 · 9 March 2014, 01:13 PM

DJ. Could recognize that jubilee band from a mile away.

Mystro · 9 March 2014, 01:47 PM

The DJ is copied more and has been Rolex's top all time seller, right??

landroverking · 9 March 2014, 01:51 PM

Hands down more DJs sold worldwide each year.

CWIN · 9 March 2014, 01:52 PM

When I think Rolex, I see a Submariner.

ahafs1 · 9 March 2014, 01:53 PM

I would have to say both. If I had to choose one, I would have to say the Sub but ever so slightly. as a matter of fact, it was the DJ that developed my interest in Rolex when I was around 13 years old.

superdog · 9 March 2014, 02:00 PM

Toss up
Depends who you ask.
As you can see.

coralfarmer84 · 9 March 2014, 02:05 PM

I think DJ. It fits the iconic part better. I like the sub more but when I think classic rolex I think DJ or DD

eeh100773 · 9 March 2014, 02:10 PM

Both. Sorry.

When a President (of the US) wears a Sub in office, then I'll change my opinion. DJ all the way! Twas my first Rolex, and likely my next before I acquire an AP RO.

DJJon · 9 March 2014, 02:42 PM

Iconic: Both in your photo - nearly a tie - what about the DayDate on President ?

DCgator · 9 March 2014, 03:03 PM

DateJust.

inLine4 · 9 March 2014, 03:41 PM

Both are awesome so I own both,

Sub

MATCH1969 · 9 March 2014, 06:00 PM

Both but you usualy start with a SUB

lance5 · 9 March 2014, 07:09 PM

DateJust - the fluted bezel is Rolex

Mr. K · 9 March 2014, 07:22 PM

DJ-fluted-jubilee-TT

Made for both men and women

Cru Jones · 9 March 2014, 07:25 PM

Iconic? As in most recognized? That's easy - DJ. Among watch fans? Tougher.

polarinda · 9 March 2014, 08:03 PM

Is like asking who's cuter, Tom or Jerry?
