The Sub for me ,strangely enough, is often too much Rolex. Everyone notices it , every second one has one. It is by far the most recognizable watch i wear.

I like my sub, but I by far prefer my Daytona which - at least in my area- only watch geeks recognize. And it fits my suits far better than my sub.

Have to say tough the blue sky is a very close second. Perfect with a suit, a little less sporty, but a favorite of the ladies ;)

Here some photos to spice up the thread...

The blue sky













The Daytona

I would suggest any of the Submariners or Explorers as the ultimate sports watch. I would never pick a Daytona. Unless you need the chronograph function what else does it offer as a sports watch. The same can be said for the Skydweller with its annual calendar. Both beautiful watches, to be sure, but not my firsts picks as rugged utility sports watches.

I spent one year in order to answer that question. Tried everything Rolex makes and came to the conclusion shown bellow.

Sky-dweller is in the classical watch category, along with datejust and day date. I would say 114060 or Daytona with white dial.

After trying 6-7 different models my choice is the Explorer 1!

Sub looses points due to the ceramic bezel, in my books. I was always scared I might break it if I abuse the watch. With the E1 that fear is gone.

The sub is the best sports watch. Not just from Rolex, but any manufacturer. Hands down.

It cannot be the Daytona, ever, objectively speaking. The screw down pushers make it impractical for timing, the polished surfaces are simply scratch magnets, lack of adjustability in the clasp is a hinderance for true adventures etc. etc.

The sub is more or less perfect for any sport event. Legible. Bold. Comfortable. Adjustable. Brushed, waterproof, on-the-fly timing with the bezel etc.

I guess it depends on what type of sport. For backpacking/hiking I prefer this. Tough, legible, waterproof, with a gmt hand that I use as a compass!

It will be accompanying me the 73 miles over the Sierra Nevada on the High Sierra Trail next month.
