Which Rolex model do you think draws the most attention to itself and just seems to shout out, "I'M A ROLEX!"

scottschoe · 28 September 2008, 05:36 AM

YG Daydate

SLS · 28 September 2008, 05:59 AM

I have seen many - relatives and friends included - wearing the TT DJ with the Jubilee braclet.

Hence, I reckon it is the most recognisable Rolex to the average person who may not know other Rolexes, except for the Sub.

Psmith · 28 September 2008, 07:08 PM

Well this one *growls* Rolex...

Without a doubt.....this all time classic!!

mike · 28 September 2008, 05:38 AM

I would agree with JJ, in the sport models the Sub.

Quicksilver · 28 September 2008, 05:41 AM

Yep, its the Sub that does it. Closely followed by the fluted DJ.

I would say a Yellow Gold DayDate or Two tone Datejust still "say" Rolex. For the "younger" generation, Subs are quite common and easy to spot as a Rolex. I would like to pick up a YG Day Date at some point as that's the one that says Rolex for me...I remember seeing one when I was 9 years old and being somewhat fixated on it even at that point...lol...crazy..

Without a doubt its the 18k yellow gold Day Date President....a true Rolex Icon known the world over and worn by famous people, heads of state, and everyone else who loves a watch that is the most reconnized all over the World!

EASY! Whichever one I'm currently wearing!!!

Time Traveller · 28 September 2008, 05:50 AM

Submariner IMO.

topcat30093 · 29 September 2008, 10:00 AM

Without a shadow of doubt it has to be the all time classic Y/G DD

rpryan55 · 28 September 2008, 05:51 AM

To a WIS, or just a person who vaguely knows about watches, it's gotta be the Sub. To the rest of the world, and even to the WIS and lesser watch people, the YG DD screams I'M A ROLEX!!!!!!!!!!

The Pres!! Wish I had a decent camera to post pics..anyway you guys aren't aftermarket diamond bezel fans. Also has a MOP diamond dial (aftermarket unfortunately-I wouldn't spend 3k for an authentic one) But it's freakin' stunning, especially when the sun hits it!

The new Yachtmaster II in the 43 mm bezel that acutally has the word "YACHTMASTER" inscribed on the bezel. That's pretty loud.

Yes but IMO that watch is a real train wreck

Yes, but you could possibly count the number of owners on your one hand.....so it's still not very recognised world-wide!!

haakon59 · 28 September 2008, 06:10 AM

Which model shouts out Rolex? Well, imho, it would be the Day-Date in yellow gold. If I were fortunate enough to buy one, I would get the White Gold model, but if I wanted attention, definitely the yellow gold version would do it.
