I was disappointed, talking about iconic Rolex, you don't talk about submariner.... then i looked better at the title!!

mpkRolex · 20 August 2010, 07:01 AM

To me iconic is the one that a normal person (not-wiz) would spot a watch from distance and say "Isnt that a Rolex?"

I would say the answer to the above depends on where you live. In North America it has to be Submariner or close resemblence to it (GMT pepsi/coke)

+1

Welshwatchman · 20 August 2010, 07:30 AM

It's easily the Datejust, even if you include the sub and pepsi, but I just think that the classic GMT deserves to be the icon.

x 2.

RRGHOST1 · 20 August 2010, 08:11 AM

Yes i think it has to be the DJ followed by the Sub and the GMT, in that order.

7S26 · 20 August 2010, 09:46 AM

I think that the Rolex DateJust should be first as iconic Rolex, followed by Rolex Sub Date.

jianliu1 · 20 August 2010, 09:58 AM

when you said rolex people think DJ,not alot of chinese people in china know about the sub,gmt or even YM,is all about the DJ to them

Luxe Time · 20 August 2010, 10:36 AM

One vote here for the Daytona! However, all Rolex models are iconic in my opinion.

You could look at last months poll!

Warnsboy · 20 August 2010, 11:47 AM

You should be a political pollster. By answering this question, I have to admit that the sub and pepsi are more iconic than the original and still classic oyster date, oyster perpetual, datejust, oyster day-date that were around in their basic form for a half century prior to the "classic" subs and pepsi's!

Therfore, my answer is.............They're ALL classics

scl6118 · 20 August 2010, 12:38 PM

Dj

bobswatches · 20 August 2010, 12:50 PM

DJ or DD... classics

pradeep · 20 August 2010, 05:05 PM

I was so off with my prediction.. haha.

TARDIS · 20 August 2010, 05:10 PM

I voted for the Explorer. Its 'iconic' by the fact that it was the first wrist watch to get to the top of Mt. Everest.

burger'n'fries · 20 August 2010, 05:25 PM

I voted for the Datejust. It was the one watch I remember was on the wrists of the silverback males in my family even though in my youth I didn't know what Rolex watches were or what they meant and stood for. That's just my belief, of course.

Sunshine · 20 August 2010, 08:10 PM

I am for the DJ

HL65 · 20 August 2010, 08:58 PM

Datejust....

7S26 · 21 August 2010, 04:23 AM

So ... 89 votes for the DJ VS 52 for the Daytona. Very interesting.

I would have guessed the DJ is the most iconic, not the Sub or GMT. Most non-WIS would readily identify the DJ as a Rolex.

yemenmocha · 21 August 2010, 07:41 AM

Agree with the others the poll "does not compute" since those watches listed are not the most iconic, and the options listed are certainly not behind the ones suggested in the question.

Brenngun · 21 August 2010, 07:48 AM

No question it's the DJ. If you have any doubt just watch any sporting event on TV sponsored by Rolex. Giant DJ's everywhere.
