My collection: GMT BLNR, Sub-C, Datejust II Fluted Blue Stick Dial....Also previously owned black 42mm Explorer.

Most attention by WIS (WIS = guys) - BLNR, hands down. At the moment, guys tend to talk to me about the BLNR when I wear it, although I'm sure that will change as soon as Rolex releases a new SS sports model. But for now, the BLNR is a dude magnet.

Most looked at - Datejust II Fluted bezel Blue stick dial - With the PCLs, super shiny bezel and x-large classic Rolex face, it gets stared at during the day. It literally screams Rolex, which I somehow didn't realize when I purchased it. They honestly should have made this a 40mm, not 41mm.

Least attention - Sub-C (black) - No one really notices it here in Asia (probably b/c so many people have it) which is why this is my proud mon-fri wearer. Classic, quiet and discreet yet somehow still a bold and powerful watch. To me it says "Yes I have a Rolex but I don't care if anyone notices or not." Sea-Dweller says the same. That watch rocks as well.

Even less attention - Explorer II 42 black - I wore this for a year without so much as a single comment. I personally think this is a VERY underrated watch since it has an amazing movement (better than the GMT Master), brushed links, tough as nails since it has less moving parts than the SUB or GMT and is a newer model introduced in 2011. It also has a bigger wrist presence yet still manages to fly under the radar. Why this watch isn't more popular I don't quite understand. Great bang for buck in the watch world as you can probably find one on the second hand market for around $5800 USD. The single complaint I had with it was that it was a little too sporty to wear with a suit.
