Manliest/most masculine Rolex?

I’m going with a SS Sub. Daytona would be a close second; only held back by its increased complexity.

The Sub and Daytona are probably the two Rolex sports watches most worn by women!

The Deep Sea is surely the most ‘manly’ Rolex? It’s too manly for my wrists!

So you’re saying men aren’t complex... I have a few people that would certainly disagree!

Sub or Sea Dweller would be #1 in my book for manliness.
I think the Explorer II (black) is also quite manly looking.

OP 34 coz size doesn't decide the 'masculinity'!

For me JF is still as masculine as anyone in this pic!

I find that the really masculine watches often make the wearer seem less manly. At times, it can have overtones of the skinny, slouching guy driving the loud truck rolling coal.

That said, the Daytona is svelte and shiny -- I wouldn't personally put that near the top of any objective "masculine" list.

Six digit submariner. Seems manlier because of the larger lugs.

This is interesting considering I see women wearing the Daytona as often as men.
