YM II, just does not do it for me aesthetically.

Dan Pierce · 6 March 2011, 02:26 AM

all the non sport models
I don't like the datejusts and day-dates very much

For me, but this is a personal choice, it must be a sports model, otherwise I would buy another brand

YM2 does nothing for me.....
I would like the milgauss better without the lightning bolt hand

Agree with you on the lightning bolt hand.

gettocard · 6 March 2011, 02:53 AM

What's not to like ?? The YM 2 maybe,but that's stunning too...

+1

A mix between a DJ and Sub? Why? Just my opinion.

Dan2010 · 6 March 2011, 03:03 AM

The Deepsea is just plain silly but only because it's 2 feet thick. Just my opinion.

George Ab · 6 March 2011, 03:04 AM

Least favorite sport model, hmmmmm?

Wow, what is there not to like...... Sub new and old, SD new and old, GMT new and old, Exp II, Yachtmaster, Daytona, ................. now I've never owned a Milgauss.... may be that one.... However, if I did own own I'd probably love it. Then again there must be a reason I've never had one.

I'm going with the Milgauss.

The Daytona. Too large and complicated. No date.

I thought the daytona wears a bit smaller than..say the sub or gmt?

Roley · 6 March 2011, 03:55 AM

It says so in my catalogue. I have ticked (as one I would consider) at least one model in each line of watches, but the Daytona line.

subkrawler · 6 March 2011, 05:23 AM

Milgauss. I like using my sports Rolexes for what they were intended, and I can't see what I'd ever use the Milgauss for.

Now if we're ever hit with an EMP, one that would blast us back to the stone age, and everything else has been magnetized and running haywire...I'll probably be wishing I had one.

RJC · 6 March 2011, 05:32 AM

Love them all, but if I had to choose one, I've never been drawn towards the Explorer II

Daytona for me too. But because it's too small. Lol!

YM2 - nice case size spoilt with crazy dial and bezel

... or the Milgauss - too much orange and i'm not into the lightening bolt thing, looks gimmicky (not sure if the milly is classed as a sports watch though)

Dave_T26 · 6 March 2011, 06:11 AM

With no disrespect and to put it as nicely as possible, I don't care for any TT models-- to me, it just comes off as unnecessarily showy for a Rolex sport watch (a watch that's supposed to serve a particular, practical purpose). I also feel rather "ho-hum" about the Explorer II.

It is.

It seems many people are irritated by the lightning bolt hand on milgause..

Minutehand · 6 March 2011, 06:22 PM

Oops, I'll leave the room now...

I actually like the lightning bolt hand because I see it as a tip of the cap by Rolex to the Milgauss watches of the late '50s that also featured the lightning bolt hand (I can see where this could rub some people the wrong way though).

DG123 · 7 March 2011, 02:21 AM

I believe the lighting bolt is a symbol for science-engineering-electricty etc... If I was a scientist I would probably wear a Milgauss.
