    Poll: Favourite current steel sports Rolex

    Ok peeps, this is for just what's currently in production.
    The Explorer 2 will be the new one, even though it hasn't hit the shops yet.
    Milgauss controversial as a "sports" model. Some say yes, some no. It's on Blowers as a sports model, so I've included it ;-) I personally think no btw.

    You will have to look up the word "current"..........
    a) belonging to the present time
    b) being in progress now
    c) prevalent, especially at the present time

    Sub ND for me, of course there is a glaring absentee, and whilst I realise the sea dweller isn't a current model I think it would have ran away with the vote.

    Re: Poll: Favourite current steel sports Rolex

    Made the same mistake and voted for the GMT Master on the strength of the patina and matt dials of the vintage models. To be honest I think most older Rolex models look better than their current equivalents. So in that sense I'm not much help to your poll. But I do find the looks of the new ExpII interesting and would love to see pictures when yours arrives. So that's where my adjusted vote goes.

    That's like asking which of your children is your favourite. Not that I have any children but that is how I would equate it. So I'm not playing..... :roll:

    Pick up my Shrek later this week - so I'm sure it will be my flavour of the month, but I'm still not going to vote.

    Yep, first thing I did was scan for the SD.

    It ended up being a close one between the Sub and Daytona but all things considered, the Sub is the original, the classic ..and the latest ceramic incarnation makes it Rolex personified (or watchonified :? ).

    i voted DSSD, but the new SubC has not been off my wrist since the custard shot. for the first time I can honestly see how this is the all in one Rolex for so many.

    ...but, to merely handle the DSSD is an experience in itself. I even snapped its fugly pimp bracelet back on so i can wear it like a complete Neo McMansion arse...with DSSD dangling down near my knuckles. a super quick snug up and its ready for the surf etc. amazing beast.

    I went for the Explorer II ,, I am really looking forward to seeing one of these in the flesh/metal.

    But unfortunately will never be able to afford one.

    Cheers,
    Chris.

    On the basis that they haven't ruined my beloved ExpII with the new one, that's where my vote has gone.

  36. #36

    Re: Poll: Favourite current steel sports Rolex

    Of the Rolex I own only the DSSD is a current model so my vote lies there. I have yet to see a subc in the flesh.

    Deepsea for it's over engineering and better glidelock than the new sub

    Re: Poll: Favourite current steel sports Rolex

    Daytona for me, as it's my newest Rolex. And I'm not that keen on any of the new interpretations of existing models as for me they are either too big, too 'Blingy' or both

    I struggle with the concept of a watch with PCLs, so that gets rid of a few in the list. The DSSD is fantastic but it's size makes it too niche ( sticking the original helium escape valve around the face also is not to my taste). I need a date function, so my vote goes to Sub C.

    Re: Poll: Favourite current steel sports Rolex

    Tried the sub a while ago. Couldnt live with the cyclops (Im young and my eyesight is fine :wink: ). Had to get rid. And, because there are sd's knocking about 2nd hand out there, I just couldnt in good conscience vote for the no-date - though its a nice-looking watch. So its the dssd for me. Just because I like it - Im not going to pretend I dive or surf or anything. :lol:

    I went for the Sub No Date, it's one of the few models they've not messed around with too much and it's all the better for it
