Well, I think you better off asking which Rolex is the most desirable one, due to the fact that all models are well made IMO. Now, I find the Daytona the most desirable watch ever made by Rolex.

The best Rolex made, and unquestionably the most versatile and useful..

Would be the GMT Master II.

X2 Totally agree. The most versatile watch I've ever owned. As a matter of fact Larry, I'll be visting your fine city this week and will have the GMT II on my wrist.

Agreed! All Rolex watches are "the best". It depends on your needs, personal taste, preferences and perceptions what is "the best".

I completely agree with Bo! All Rolex watches to me are the best it doesn't matter which model, they are so well built and beautifully designed in every possible way.

In my opinion though the watch that is most "useful" for me in my everyday lifestyle is definitely the GMT Master model. This is because I can get a 2nd timezone with it, I can even use the bezel as a "time-lapse" bezel which I have done before, and lastly use the watch as a compass during daylight hours which I think is super cool.

X2. In this case, what the general public thinks has no relevance here. Its all about what is the most desirable to you as JJ had mentioned!
