The watch market never stays still for too long. New releases, shifting trends, and collector preferences continuously reshape demand for certain models, and the latest “Most Wanted Watches List” from Bezel gives us a snapshot of what’s hot right now on the secondary market. Bezel, a leading platform for buying and selling luxury watches, compiled this list based on real-world interest from collectors and buyers. With over $700 million worth of watches listed, Bezel’s marketplace offers an insider’s perspective on what’s trending across the industry.
No surprises here — Rolex dominates the list, accompanied by some strong showings from Omega and Tudor sprinkled in. Thanks to Bezel’s “Wants” feature, which allows users to track and receive pricing updates about their most desired timepieces, we get a clear picture of which watches collectors are actively hunting down at any given time. With that in mind, let’s dig into Bezel’s Most Wanted list from February of this year.
10. Rolex GMT-Master II “Batman” Ref. 126710BLNR-0003
Coming in at tenth place is the fan-favorite Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 126710BLNR-0003, affectionately known as the “Batman.” Aside from its great looks, the GMT-Master II collection is beloved for its practical ability to track multiple time zones at once. This particular configuration with a black and blue Cerachrom ceramic bezel, Oyster bracelet, and Caliber 3285 joined the Rolex catalog in 2021 and has since remained a must-have luxury sports watch.
9. Rolex Datejust 41 “Wimbledon” Ref. 126334-0022
In 2009, Rolex unveiled a Datejust watch with a then-new Wimbledon dial, characterized by a slate dial with green-outlined black enamel Roman numerals and a luminescent bar at 9 o’clock. Since then, the Wimbledon dial, created to honor the Crown’s partnership with the legendary tennis tournament, has appeared on several other Datejust models. One especially popular version — as illustrated by its position on Bezel’s Most Wanted list — is the Datejust 41 “Wimbledon” Ref. 126334-0022, which features a stainless steel 41mm case, white gold fluted bezel, and stainless steel Jubilee bracelet.
8. Tudor Black Bay Master Chronometer Ref. 7941A1A0NU-0003
As we climb the list to the eighth rung, we’re met with the Tudor Black Bay Master Chronometer Ref. 7941A1A0NU-0003, a reference that debuted in 2024. A monochrome version of Tudor’s vintage-inspired Black Bay dive watch, its 41mm steel case and steel Jubilee-style bracelet are paired with an all-black bezel and dial. Two other notable features of the watch include the rigorous METAS “Master Chronometer” certification of its movement and the super practical T-Fit clasp.
7. Omega Speedmaster Professional “Moonwatch” Ref. 310.30.42.50.01.002
Thanks to its epic journey to the Moon, few watches carry the same legendary status as the Omega Speedmaster Professional “Moonwatch” — and its continued presence on Bezel’s Most Wanted list only underlines its enduring appeal. The current-generation Ref. 310.30.42.50.01.002) debuted in 2021, featuring a range of refinements while staying true to the classic Moonwatch. This is to say it retains the customary 42mm steel case and black bezel and dial combo but upgraded with sapphire crystals and the Master Chronometer Caliber 3861 manual-winding movement.
6. Rolex Daytona “Panda” Ref. 116500LN-0001
One of the most coveted modern chronographs, the Rolex Daytona Ref. 116500LN-0001 — better known as the “Panda” Daytona — remains a fixture on Bezel’s Most Wanted list. Launched in 2016, this model features a 40mm stainless steel case, a black Cerachrom bezel, and the nickname-inducing white dial with contrasting black subdials. Inside is the Rolex Caliber 4130, a self-winding movement with a 72-hour power reserve. Despite being replaced by the new-generation Daytona 126500LN in 2023, demand for the discontinued white 116500LN on the secondary market continues to surpass that of its successor.
5. Rolex Submariner Date “Starbucks” Ref. 126610LV-0002
Taking the fifth-place spot is the Rolex Submariner Date Ref. 126610LV-0002. Also known as the “Starbucks”, this Rolex Sub has been a go-to choice its debut in 2020. With its 41mm stainless steel case, black dial, and signature green Cerachrom bezel, the design sits between the now-discontinued Kermit and Hulk models, arguably offering the best of both. Powered by the Rolex Caliber 3235, this famed Rolex diver offers a 70-hour power reserve and 300 meters of water resistance. The appealing combo of everyday wearability and a distinctive green bezel keeps the ref. 126610LV-0002 a highly sought-after piece on the secondary market.
4. Rolex GMT-Master II “Pepsi” Ref. 126710BLRO-0001
Landing in fourth place is the Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 126710BLRO-0001, better known as the “Pepsi” GMT. First introduced in 2018, this stainless steel GMT-Master II features the iconic red-and-blue Cerachrom bezel, a classic colorway that dates back to the original GMT-Master from 1955. Housed in a 40mm case, it runs on the Rolex Caliber 3285, offering 70 hours of power reserve and the ability to track multiple time zones simultaneously. Paired with a Jubilee bracelet, the Pepsi GMT continues to be one of the most in-demand modern Rolex models.
3. Rolex Submariner Date Ref. 126610LN-0001
Taking the third-place spot is the Rolex Submariner Date Ref. 126610LN-0001, the modern iteration of one of the most recognizable dive watches — nay, watches — in history. Released in 2020, this Submariner sports a 41mm stainless steel case, a black Cerachrom bezel, and a matching black dial with the customary date window at 3 o’clock. Driving the watch is the Rolex Caliber 3235, delivering a 70-hour power reserve and protected by 300 meters of water resistance. As the quintessential luxury dive watch, it’s no surprise the Submariner Date remains a staple on Bezel’s Most Wanted list.
2. Rolex GMT-Master II “Batgirl” Ref. 126710BLNR-0002
Securing the silver medal spot is the Rolex GMT-Master II Ref. 126710BLNR-0002 with the street name “Batgirl.” Unveiled in 2019, this model is topped with the same black-and-blue Cerachrom bezel as the perennially popular “Batman” but is distinguished by its dressier Jubilee bracelet instead of an Oyster — hence the more feminine nickname. Inside the 40mm stainless steel case is the same Rolex Caliber 3285 with 70 hours of power reserve that all modern GMT-Master II watches run on.
1. Rolex GMT-Master II “Bruce Wayne” Ref. 126710GRNR-0003
Finally, at the top of the podium is the “Bruce Wayne” or the Rolex GMT-Master II 126710GRNR-0003, which dropped just last year. Defined by its black-and-gray Cerachrom bezel and steel 40mm case and Jubilee bracelet, this is the stealthiest option in the modern GMT-Master II lineup. Thanks in part to its good looks, real-world practicality, top-notch quality, and strong resale value, the GMT-Master II ref. 126710GRNR was the most wanted watch on Bezel.
With Rolex dominating the list and a few notable appearances from Omega and Tudor, Bezel’s Most Wanted Watches highlights the models collectors are chasing right now.
