Ha - time to give my 401k to the local charity, since I got my Milgauss instead.

😂 I’m wearing mine today as well. I’m waiting for the spike in price so I can retire :))

historically the most hyped models have been hot in the short term but not as hot in the long term

my pics in no specific order

Airking
Milgauss (black dial)
sky dweller (white dial)
any white dial pieces

Milgauss meets your requirements well. Used to be easy to get from an AD window, now in most places no chance. Also small production- must be less than even Daytona- certainly looks that way on used markets where Z blue and ceramic D are similar ages. Last time I saw one sitting was HK airport 2017. They also had a blue SS SkyDweller and an Air King (but that was it for pro SS). If only I knew re Sky D...

calebb90 · 7 January 2020, 10:28 AM

Day date 36. Crazy to me that I could sell a ceramic Daytona and buy a solid gold day date. Almost 2 of them if I went for 1803.

A 16800 matte dial

GradyPhilpott · 7 January 2020, 10:56 AM

Well, I own these sleepers and that's what I love about them:

116200 63600

16253

114270

14060M

16570 on leather--bracelet needs work

1503 on leather--came without bracelet

And I own this one which seems to be rather popular:

116710BLNR

WhiskeyNovember · 7 January 2020, 11:35 AM

The DJ36mm with Olive Dial. 126233

Hotrod297 · 7 January 2020, 11:39 AM

Polar or Black Milgauss with clear crystal.

I guess probably 116660 D-Blue. Only 3.5 yr production cycle. Could become a collectible piece. (Logically assume Rolex will not discontinue 126660 D-Blue in next few years......)

scombs263 · 7 January 2020, 03:25 PM

Explorer II 216570 Polar...

tbk · 7 January 2020, 03:31 PM

To me, definitely the 42mm Polar Explorer II. One of the best watches Rolex makes, in my opinion. I wore one for many years, now I wish I hadn't sold it. The black indices and fat hands, and that orange hand.. Along with the subtle satin finish. I may have to get another one at some point.

jiffy · 7 January 2020, 03:47 PM

Cellini Moonphase, beautiful watch, nothing quite like it.

APPRF · 7 January 2020, 05:45 PM

Air King. It has everything going for it for a future hottie. Plus it's actually a great looking watch, it grows on you.

alphadweller · 7 January 2020, 06:17 PM

YM 116622 platinum dial, 4 years production run. Looks best with a little bit of sunshine.

VonDutch · 7 January 2020, 07:50 PM

Current AirKing. It was designed to celebrate the sponsor and partnership of the Bloodhound land speed record attempt, that then went into administration... Rolex then pulled the plug on supplying the dials for the company that then took the attempt over... so this model already has a great back story!!

White dial Milgauss.

playford · 7 January 2020, 10:26 PM

I agree with Milgauss for modern rolex, funky design and interesting story/complication.

5 digit sea dwellers too.

I think the two tone root beer GMT's are pretty undervalued still.

TurboTim14 · 7 January 2020, 11:45 PM

The 16600 SD, definitely. I also think some of the earlier non spider dial WGS transitional models have a lot of potential as well.
