Explorer II 216570 by miles over anything else. Slight edge to the white dial. No, make that black. No, wait. White.

Me too (black) but it’s my only one, so not much to go off.

I would say if you could only own one rolex it should be a Submariner. It's my favorite.

Forever I would have said DJ 2 tone with champagne dial but my mind has been changed recently, I bought a Hulk and it is without doubt one of the prettiest watches I have ever seen.

The Perfect Datejust (IMHO)


The Datejust II with the black stick dial and white gold fluted bezel (116334)!! I absolutely love this watch!! I actually bought mine nearly two years ago from my local Authorized Rolex Dealer who special ordered it in for me. For many years I have had the aspiration and desire to own a Rolex and could never really afford one until when I finally got the chance to be able to order and purchase this one. I totally love the look of this Datejust, especially the size!! I hate to see that Rolex as of this year has totally discontinued the Datejust II line in favor of the now updated version, the Datejust 41. Unlike many Rolex connoisseurs I completely favor the look of the Datejust II over the Datejust 41. I've even held these two watches together side by side to compare and I just like the bigger more masculine look of the II. I like the wider look of the fluted bezel which I think shows out more. Also I like the thicker more pronounced look of the stick indices on this model over the smaller more petite ones on the 41. The Datejust 41 looks ok but I very much favor the more heft look of the Datejust II (IMHO). Also I've always loved the stainless/white gold look alongside a black dial. This thing just speaks loudly with prestige and shows out nicely!! Also I guess I would consider myself more catered to an old fashion way of thinking at now 52 years old than a lot of 52 year olds today because I favor and always have favored a mechanical (self-winding) movement over a quartz. I know a quartz is always more accurate but I have always been completely fascinated by that amazing little miniature engine that runs these kinds of watches and all that takes place in the operation and function of them.

All the ones I've owned have been my favorites while they were in the stable - somewhere near 20 different model configurations. Serial collecting leads to "love the one you're with" syndrome

Right now a vintage YG DD and a Pt. Daytona are my favorites.
