Good enough for Sean Connery/007....good enough for me.

The Sub and the Datejust to me are the most iconic watches because in 50+ years they have changed so little and they share a damn good movement which will keep good time even with the odd bump or two. Ok. I own both so I'm biased...

My first love was the Sub. As soon as I could afford it, I bought the TT Blue Sub. I have had it for 5 years and love it as much now as I did when I first go it.

The irony is that I usually hate the quotidian and I think a lot more people have the sub over the GMT. However, I had to get my Sub.

I'm mad I'm not wearing it today

Also, I like how well this thread went. I thought the OP was going to get skewered, but everyone played nice.

I do like the GMT and could see myself buying it in a few years, but the Sub was my Grail watch.

To each his own. I think the Sub is the qunitessential Rolex, embodying all the qualities that the brand stands for, such as good looks, toughness and elegance. Then again, I dislike the shape and looks of Ferraris and Porsches and would never buy one, even if I had the money.

A green limited was my first Rolex I have since swapped it for a Yachtmaster SS which I still own. I have never missed the Sub and have had several other Rolex sporrts models,the new Sub holds no real appeal though a single/double red will be a watch that I will own in the future (the older ones do appeal to me)

I love the Sub. I thought the Datejust was THE iconic Rolex, but after having the opportunity to own one it was not the right one for me (still hugely iconic). I like the sporty watches better, and I would love to own a Sub one day.
