Probably a 1016 Explorer...if Rolex made a modern version, I'd be all over it.

all beautiful but those hairy limp twigs they are wrapped around don't do them their proper justice. Do some wrist curls for christ sake.

I have three Rolex and I love them all but I think the perfect Rolex reference is the Exp. ii and I am not so patiently waiting for AD to call.

Would have to be the DSSD. Only modern Rolex with the original tool watch heritage that was designed for a specific job and required engineering advancements. It’s the perfect modern day representation of a Rolex.

Whoa...that is a seriously cool watch. As much as I look at watches, I don't think I've seen this exact configuration before. Very nice indeed.

Thanks! It’s just mesmerizing...hard to explain. The vintage hue or glow or what to call it of the white gold is just something else...could describe it as “deep”! It’s wonderful in person and makes me smile every time I look down at it!

Submariner. It’s not the most technically or horologically advanced, but it
is the most replicated and iconic. Therefore, perfect.

That's when you know you've found your watch! They don't do it often, but I love when they do watches with the half second markers. The only modern Rolex I can think of that does that is the black dial (clear crystal) Milgauss.

There is no such thing as the perfect Rolex or any other brand name watch for that
matter.We can all have a favourite watch,but perfect does not exist in the watch world.

For quality they’re all the same. As for engineering it would probably be the Daytona. No such thing as the most perfect Rolex.
