Well, we don't know Rolex sales numbers by model so it really is just a guess as to which is the most popular in that regard, judged primarily on what we see worn most frequently.

I'd venture for first time buyers such as yourself the "popular" choices are the Sub (followed by the GMT) for the sport side of style and the DJ/DJ2 for the dressier look.

travisb · 3 March 2015, 04:42 AM

I would think Datejust followed by Sub Date.

rolexnub · 3 March 2015, 05:42 AM

Sub, GMT and Datejust

4srolex · 3 March 2015, 05:30 AM

1. DJ
2. Sub

Nycturbovr6 · 3 March 2015, 05:34 AM

Welcome. Submariner

toneafficianado · 3 March 2015, 05:50 AM

Based on just reading the forum and ebay I'd say the no date Sub and BLNR seem to be the most revered , in demand ,models of all. Not many bad words about either of those come up!

crowncollection · 3 March 2015, 06:19 AM

Datejust is number one IMHO

dysondiver · 3 March 2015, 06:21 AM

dj and sub ..

NativeTxn · 3 March 2015, 06:28 AM

For what's it's worth (which probably isn't much), I will be buying my first Rolex in late 2016 in commemoration of my 5th anniversary, and as of now (always subject to change, of course), I'm going to be buying a SubC. I've looks the GMTs, DJ's, Yacht Master, etc., but as of now, it's the SubC. I go back and forth between whether it will be the No-Date or Date.

CANCROWN · 3 March 2015, 06:41 AM

My AD told me the Submariner is the most sold men's watch.

flathead59 · 3 March 2015, 06:49 AM

I realize it's only my area, but I see 20-30 DJs for every Sub. I've seen 2 GMTs (other than mine) in the last five years working here. I would guess for nation wide sales the DJ then the Sub.

DateJust hands down.

locutus49 · 3 March 2015, 07:45 AM

Women by far wear DJs. So that will skew it towards DJ overall.

ming the merciless · 3 March 2015, 08:04 AM

Sub date for me.

Robert Cross · 3 March 2015, 08:48 AM

DJ....

lefty scott · 3 March 2015, 08:59 AM

Sub date or DJ.

time · 3 March 2015, 09:07 AM

Sub is and has always been the icon of Rolex. That's why 116610 costs a bit more than 116710 (more complicated movement).

p3l3r · 3 March 2015, 10:05 AM

It depends where you are really. For example here in jakarta indonesia. Probably datejust but when i go biz travel let say singapore or hk. SUBs are just everywhere! Even those vintage one. Mannn i want a vintage rolex!

milgauss2232 · 3 March 2015, 10:45 AM

Must be the sub.

rg9390 · 3 March 2015, 10:52 AM

Sub.

DJJon · 3 March 2015, 12:33 PM

One more vote for Real World sales numbers, not popularity nor Watch Forum interest:

Datejust outsells all others, Gents making up more than 75% of the total DJ sales.

Submariner in all it's variations a close second.

Osbong · 3 March 2015, 12:38 PM

Datejust...

red1108nyc · 3 March 2015, 12:49 PM

For me, I would say Daytona and a sub.

ILOVEIT · 3 March 2015, 01:00 PM

I fall in love with vintage Rolex watches like
Rolex Chronograph Ref 2508, 1940s

Afghanvet · 3 March 2015, 01:45 PM

The one consistency here is the sub...

jdt77 · 3 March 2015, 01:56 PM

Sub for me-- that is one that I have.

Schneeflocke · 3 March 2015, 02:04 PM

Without a doubt Datejust, closely followed by the Submariner. At least here in Europe.
