I thought it might throw this out there to see what people think.
I was thinking that because Rolex made the first waterproof watch,the seadweller/sub lines of watches are the cornerstone of the company.

Bubbleback or early Oyster. I believe both represented steps forward in shock protection and waterproofing. Also it seems the was a following for the Prince, though never what the Oyster became. Just my 2 centavos worth.

This is my vote....

I would go with the classic "Bubble Back".

I think the Two Tone Jubilee Bracelet Gold Dialed Datejust and the Submariner....They get my vote for map putting.

Sub! So iconic!

Datejust 2 tone.....most copied watch in the world IMHO..... every watch maker has their "homage" version.....

let me guess, you own either a sub or a sea dweller?

the oyster perpetual, in whatever particular incarnation, is the cornerstone of the company.

The old 30mm Oyster Perpetual.

Either the watch that Mercedez Gleitz used when she swam the English Channel, or the Explorer that was used on the first conquest of Everest.
