Incorrect. I said no such thing, "basically" or otherwise. Rolex DJ-buyers, dog-owners, model sailing ship builders, it makes no difference....assuming someone's disinterest-in or as having a superficial relationship with something merely because they don't join and participate in an internet forum would be silly, and an exercise in self-aggrandizement of the forum-joiner (not that that's uncommon, it's not, and this groupthink phenomenon prevalent on forums is just another reason why self-selecting polls are wildly unreliable. Combine that with minuscule sample size and the results are completely worthless for extrapolation). As I wrote here, but you may have missed;

Most Rolex owners aren't even aware of TRF's existence. Most who do, would think it's a waste of time because most people in the world don't join any kind of internet forum, not even for things they are into.

I'd like to ask you a question or two in return, a couple different ways, based-on what the latest numbers from this popularity contest "poll" indicate and also if they could be considered a reliable source that reflects actual sales in the real world.

Do you believe that for every 1 Datejust Rolex sells, they sell 2 Day Dates, 3 Daytonas, 4 GMTs, and 9 or 10 Submariner/SD/DSSDs?
Out of every 100 watches Rolex sells, are only 4 of them Datejusts?
Does the Explorer II outsell the Datejust?

Daytona

Punishher7 · 9 November 2015, 04:29 PM

I voted sub. My second would be the polar exp II. I really thought the Daytona would have gotten more votes...

GolfPunk · 10 November 2015, 10:46 PM

I thought Submariner (family), then GMT or Daytona, but I didn't expect the landslide for the divers.

Wow! Yachtmaster II is a lone wolf!

Makes sense; as cool as it is it's a niche application.

VinnieVegas · 11 November 2015, 01:38 AM

I really love them all, but my go-to watch is my 16710, currently sporting a Pepsi bezel insert.

mechanicaltime · 11 November 2015, 08:52 AM

SubC: no nonsense, durable, beautiful.

tbonesteak · 11 November 2015, 08:59 AM

I've been to Rolex and Wempe 3x in the last month and tried on quite a few...

Sub for me 116610. Versatile, classic, everyday wearer. Will hopefully have it on my wrist in the next couple of weeks.

I liked the Yachtmaster Stainless/Platinum model too, but not over the Sub. Milgauss with the black face/green crystal is a great secondary watch IMO.

Sublovin · 11 November 2015, 10:51 AM

Went with Sub, although it was really tough not to choose Daytona.

theloxmyth · 11 November 2015, 11:04 AM

Under the radar...

Great poll! I hate to see it disappear.

HL65 · 17 November 2015, 08:54 PM

If I had to pick one it would be my BLNR GMT. The perfect travel or stay at home watch. Now the good thing is I don't have to pick one and many are my favorites for different reasons. I guess in the end if I only could have one that would be it.

Andad · 17 November 2015, 09:18 PM

Favourite one I own at this time is my GMT TTC.

Favourite Rolex would be a PN Daytona.

AK797 · 17 November 2015, 09:44 PM

Well actually the YG Subc has become my go to watch/daily. My others have either a leather strap, no glidelock or a lot more polished surfaces. Never thought when I rather reverentially bought this watch that it would end up being my beater.

I voted GMT as it is the only Rolex I own so far

IMO, I think the GMT and Explorer II should have been grouped together as both have the 2nd time zone dial/function. The same goes for YM and YMII as both are Yachtmaster. Just like what the OP did for the divers (Subs/SD/DSSD), DJs and DDs

Lordofrolex · 26 November 2015, 10:17 AM

Dd40

airchitect · 26 November 2015, 10:24 AM

My ExpII or a dd40 platinum

mikkolopez · 26 November 2015, 10:32 AM

Submariner in all forms though this is my fave right now
