In my opinion it's got to be the modern non date submariner....A timelss classic to be sure....

NYC6 · 25 November 2009, 09:56 AM

Its the first Rolex I had to have.

moviefreak · 25 November 2009, 09:56 AM

nice submariner...

landroverking · 25 November 2009, 09:59 AM

No way that the Sub ND is the most under appreciated watch, that is most likely the Airking or the EXP 1. Both of which I think are very cool.

sbux · 25 November 2009, 10:16 AM

platinum dd without diamond....non-watch ppl would think its just a steel watch...

tinstar · 25 November 2009, 10:20 AM

AirKing
Love it with that new dial

cobblecanyon · 25 November 2009, 10:20 AM

I would have to agree with you. Personally, I just feel something is missing without the date. However, I noticed this Rolex has many, many fans. I am just not one of them.

sea-dweller · 25 November 2009, 10:30 AM

Airking or Explorer 1 or Cellini.

springer · 25 November 2009, 10:35 AM

Nice watch, especially if you have no need for a date.

ersnyder · 25 November 2009, 10:36 AM

I sure do like mine!

dukester · 25 November 2009, 10:38 AM

SS Daytona??

nektar · 25 November 2009, 10:41 AM

this is not the most underappreciated watch..

kyle L · 25 November 2009, 10:44 AM

I have to say Explorer, the Air-King and the Turn-o-graph.

Oyster Perpetual No Date. Not only is it under appreciated, it is rarely even mentioned.

That's a good call.

The 14060 has plenty of love and respect in the WIS world yet the OP Date/ND get's precious little attention even though it's a fine watch indeed.

deserted · 25 November 2009, 11:35 AM

I don't see air kings on this forum....very underrated !!!

level · 25 November 2009, 11:40 AM

Yep, the Air-King. Highly underrated but a very nice watch.

TURN-O-GRAPH in the SS/WG iteration, EXP and Air King are the understated gems in the ROLEX lineup.

Indeed!!!

chrispatel · 25 November 2009, 04:30 PM

Tomorrow I will receive my OP No date from DavidSW. Can't wait to get it. I loved it the first time I tried it one. Very unique!

BASSETHOUNDS · 25 November 2009, 05:52 PM

Yachtmaster II , I have been doing a bit of reading on it lately . The mouvement is quite impressive . I agree the YG version is hideous , I could live with the WG version but the price tag on them is a no go for me . But , if they would bring out a SS version and keep it around the 10K US I might have one . I do not even own a dingy let a lone the yacht , but I do cook pasta quite often . I guess that would justify having one , no ?

Joey_V · 25 November 2009, 06:59 PM

Milgauss?

Got mine from London service last November, lost 2 sec. a week! The must

Bullyterrier · 25 November 2009, 09:59 PM

I would say Airking as well. No way could you say the Submariner is under appreciated.

Nice Pic but the watch really looks tight on you, Not sure if it's the angle

This watch is actually very beautiful and accurate too...congrats

I think alot of buyers have neglected models such as the airking because it's human nature to not want the lower range models, thinking that it's not that good. However Akira's choice was actually a good one. Very smart marketing from Rolex to get us to pay more money, when models like the airking perform equally as well.

Bisquitlips · 26 November 2009, 01:43 AM

The Yacht-Master has to fall in here somewhere. Although I will never understand why!

david6 · 26 November 2009, 02:08 PM

I agree that the Airking in underrated. I've got mine similar to that of Akira's but with COSC, and I've loved it all along.
