While taste and personal preference play a role in determining the best watches in any category, I narrowed this list down to the 6 Rolex models that offer the best value in this price range. (Note: All of the pricing information below is based on Rolex's suggested retail price in Swiss francs converted to USD based on current exchange rates.)

The Rolex Datejust II is a classic model with a few new features in this latest configuration. The Datejust II has a 41 mm case, just slightly larger than the Sub and BLNR. With a fluted white gold bezel, it is the only model on this list to feature white gold, albeit just on the bezel. The size and aesthetic set it apart from the other watches in this price range - it is the only non-professional model included here. The Datejust II configuration shown above goes for approximately $8,943.
Rolex Milgauss (Reference 116400 GV)

The Rolex Milgauss is the professional model that stands out the most in terms of aesthetic and functionality. This model was designed for scientists who work in environments where magnetism can affect the accuracy of their wristwatch movements. The Milgauss is protected from magnetic fields of up to 1,000 gauss and this model configuration features an electric blue dial that gives the it a fresh and bold new look. The suggested retail price for the Milguass shown here is approximately $8,039.
Rolex Explorer I (Reference 214270)
The final model on this list, the Explorer I combines the classic simplicity of the Oyster Perpetual model with the sporty look of Rolex's professional models. With arabic numerals at 3, 6 and 9, the new Explorer I model features a very clear luminescent display. The combination of the black dial with the 39 mm stainless steel case gives this watch a modern and clean aesthetic. It is also the most affordable on the list, retailing for approximately $6,390. This timepiece is perfect for those who want a reliable, elegant wristwatch that isn't too ostentatious.
