IMHO, the one on my wrist. At the rate prices are going, it’s the only one I’m ever gonna have.

I’m a K.I.S.S. guy most of the time so the 14060m is my choice. Understated beauty and functionality.

Ultimate, has to be the white gold 116619 LB

Best, has to be the 124060 as I'm currently wearing it and it's the best daily I could ever wish for.

I’m a little biased since I just got one. 126618LN checks all the boxes for me. Keep the pics coming!

+2. The WG Sub is gorgeous but out of my price range so I’ll follow Brian’s comment and say my Hulk is right up there too for consideration ;)

124060 IMO. Perfect blend of high precision movement, amazing bracelet and true to classic case shape and lines.

The best blend of old mixed with new.

Been through a few subs. Still have the 16610 (wedding watch/first Rolex) and 116619 just a must have for those that love divers and the color blue

For me...5513.

A very close second is the 16610LV. That is my favorite "modern" Sub.

What are peoples thoughts?

Would love to see some photos of your most coveted submariner..

The modern sub is beautiful but some of the vintage models are simply sublime

I have the 114060 and 116610LV in my collection currently but thinking of adding a vintage sub

The word ‘ultimate’ can mean many things to many people under this context…
