Among them, current Rolex Testimonees include Scheffler, McIlroy, Rahm, and DeChambeau.

Introduced in 1956, it was the first wristwatch to display both the day of the week and the date in full. Available exclusively in precious metals, the Day-Date has long been associated with individuals who have reached the highest levels of their professions, including U.S. presidents and various heads of state. It became closely associated with championship golf during the 1960s and 1970s as Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and Gary Player were frequently photographed wearing the model. That reputation makes the Day-Date a natural fit for The Open, where lifting the Claret Jug remains one of the greatest achievements in professional golf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rolex Datejust: From the Course to the Clubhouse\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/mint_green_datejust-edited-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex and The Open: Rolex Datejust\" class=\"wp-image-68301\" title=\"Rolex and The Open: Rolex Datejust\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/mint_green_datejust-edited-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/mint_green_datejust-edited-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/mint_green_datejust-edited-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/mint_green_datejust-edited-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/mint_green_datejust-edited.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"\/rolex-datejust-1.html\" title=\"Rolex Datejust\">Rolex Datejust<\/a> meanwhile occupies a different place within the collection.

Its versatility, wearability and range of sizes has helped make it one of Rolex&#8217;s most enduring collections. Decades of references, dial configurations, different <a href=\"\/rolex-blog\/resources\/definitive-guide-to-rolex-bezels.html\" title=\"Rolex bezels\">Rolex bezels<\/a>, and bracelet options also make the Datejust one of the most appealing choices in today&#8217;s pre-owned market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rolex Sky-Dweller: Built for a Global Golf Schedule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/chocolate_rolex_buying_guide_sky_dweller-edited-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"Rolex and The Open: Rolex Sky-Dweller\" class=\"wp-image-68847\" title=\"Rolex and The Open: Rolex Sky-Dweller\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/chocolate_rolex_buying_guide_sky_dweller-edited-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/chocolate_rolex_buying_guide_sky_dweller-edited-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/chocolate_rolex_buying_guide_sky_dweller-edited-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/chocolate_rolex_buying_guide_sky_dweller-edited-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bobswatches.com\/rolex-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/chocolate_rolex_buying_guide_sky_dweller-edited.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Professional golf has become increasingly global, with players routinely competing on multiple continents throughout the season.

Featuring dual-time functionality and an annual calendar, it remains one of the most technically sophisticated watches in Rolex&#8217;s current catalog.
