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.

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

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

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

New Air King!

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.

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. ...
