Last Rolex Standing...

...(for now, haha) is my Explorer 214270 Mk II. I love GMTs and Submariners, but my wrist somewhat disagreed and likes the lightweight Explorer. Can't say anything about 'best', it just works well for me and my wrist.

Modern Rolex

What, in your opinion, is the best modern day Rolex reference? I’m thinking of a watch that is no older than 20 years old.

The one you can get

Probably the 116600 Sea Dweller...if not that, then the last of the 5-digit sub or sea dwellers.

If you go a bit beyond 20 years, then a 5-digit tritium dial sub or sea dweller.

The modern Daytona is a beauty if you can get it...

...much more wearable than I would have thought.

New Air King!

GMTII, or a Submariner.

I bought my Sub in 1983...

...because I wanted one watch that could do anything, go anywhere, and last me the rest of my life. It is thinner than the SD, and can do 99.99999% of what the SD does. All of you saturation divers out there may disagree : )

Yachtmaster II, DSSD and Sky-dweller ...

because everything else is rehash of decades old concepts.

I couldn't tell you which reference is 'the best'

I am not nearly a big enough fan of the brand to give a well-informed answer to that question. I can, however, say which reference is my favorite: The 114200WSO. In english, that is the previous generation Oyster Perpetual 34mm in white. There is nothing ...  

I really love the SD4k

But the standout to me is a nod to Rolex dress watch history - the Cellini Moonphase. It’s such an unexpected release by Rolex and I am still waiting for a WG/ SS version

I’m biased but for me it’s this one.

Mainly because of how when and why i wear my watches. ...
