in my opinion
1) explorer 1655 2) submariner 6536 3) milgaus 6541 4) yachtmaster 2 in white gold 5) the 8171, refer to Philipp's post at rolex.watchprosite.com

What is interesting about each of our top 5s.....
is that there is a huge amount of variation. Comex get mentioned a lot. As do Daytos. But after that the variation is wide
