I would have voted for a Datejust or a Daydate as a *professional* watch above and beyond anything on that list. It's a list of Sport watches, so unless you're a diver or a pilot or a sailor, I don't see any of those as particularly *professional* watches. I voted the Expy II, since it's the best choice on the list, in my opinion.

Well, all the above watches are classified under "Professional" on the Rolex website, so I just used that. The Datejust and Daydate are classified under Oyster Perpetual.

Well, I agree with Martin on the red sub date or a double red sub date as a wonderful wonderful watch, maybe even better than a rose gold, white face, roman numerals, day-date.(and then again, maybe not!)
best,

I voted for the Daytona.
But I could of so easily voted for the Sub/SD/GMT.
Its not an easy poll to vote in.

I have a GMT Master II Coke, but, aesthetically, I prefer either the white- or the black-face Explorer II.

I found the pictures of the all black GMT Master IIc compellingly beautiful, but the all time classic, for me, remains the No-Date Sub.

Symmetry, simplicity, functionality, No-Date Sub.

Does Rolex not continue to produce the No-Date Sub?

GMT IIc, and closely behind it is the Sub date/SD.

I was this close in voting for Daytona, but I have to say I am a bit biased. I attended a conference today that was scheduled way before I bought my watch. I guess it's meant to be!
