Favorite current Rolex is the pink-Arabic 116034.

Hate is a strong word, but the DSSD would probably be the farthest mens sport Rolex from my taste.

When the Hulk came out I hated it, two years later I handled one at my AD and started warming up to it.

Now I've come full circle and love it. I think seeing it on peoples wrist from a distance is what turned me around.

The close up shots make it seem like the green is too much, whereas in the wild it just rocks imho.

Did'nt care for the 16610LV either but ended up owing one and loving it.

Is this from love to hate or love to hate?

Love? Day-Date, Milgauss, Hulk. Not a fan of the too big & overly text heavy DSSD & Sky-Dweller although can't be knocked technically is just too fussy dial wise.

The more I look at the SkyD the more I like it. May be my first non-dive Rolex.

Not a huge fan of any of the modern day line up so none in the list excites me.

No question it's the DSSD. Either you love it or you loathe it. I'm in the former camp.

DSSD is the biggest love/hate model in the current Rolex lineup IMO. No contest. :

I like nearly every modern Rolex. I'm not a fan of older models.

Can't think of a more garish watch than the YMII, personally.

I like most of the modern Rolex line, the only thing I don't like are the grizzly price tags. I guess I'm nostalgic and I'll stick with the classic watches
