Yachtmaster 2 is probably the ugliest watch Rolex have ever made!

1. They mostly all look kinda the same

2. Cyclops is ugly

3. Daytona (old or ceramic) looks small on a mans wrist, but good on a womans

4. Submariner, Sea Dweller, Deep Sea - all pretty much the same thing like a car model with bigger engines?

5. Green hand on the GMT looks crap

Hey! Leave the Boxster alone! Ha! I'm a Pcar owner myself, never had a Boxster, but they're all great. Maybe not the early ones with the time bomb engines, but once they added that second row of bolts they sorted it. Hard to find a mid-engine roadster like a the Box.

I don't like the look of any of the YG or TT watches. The rose gold only on the YM with the oysterflex bracelet, having the black rubber bracelet tones down the goldness of that a bit.

Did I miss a memo about the GMT2 Black Ceramic being unpopular. Currently my favorite one.

the DD40 is still too big. also, the GMT feature, when travelling, actually increases jet lag.

There are two types of Submariner owners: D-bags who can't think for themselves, and WIS who appreciate an absolute classic. 80/20

Funny, but is this a bad thing? Poolside, golf, Rolex on my wrist - Priceless.

not a bad thing, but it is unpopular as people under 50 who dont golf or sit by the pool wear tt subs

While I love the Submariner, the Submariner-Date leaves me cold.

Don't like blue dials when I read that the upcoming blue dial skydweller was 3x more desirable than the blk or white I thought it was an April fools joke.

80/20 is extremely generous. More like 99.8/0.2

The SkyDweller looks ridiculous worn on anyone under the age of 65.

That's why Rolex makes TT subs. So we can tell who's who.

I love the look of the YM2

Two tone watches are hideous

Modern Omegas have the same quality as a Rolex

I prefer the LN over the BLNR

I like the new "wheel of fortune" rose gold YM

Great topic (that's gonna get a lot of us in trouble)

OK here goes:

Datejusts 36mm and smaller are women's watches

Wearing a TT blue sub with short sleeves and shorts looks completely ridiculous and "try hard"

Subs and GMT's are too small. Both should be 41-42mm

No one under 65 years old should be wearing a yellow gold watch

Actually love the YM2 even though I would never buy or wear one

I don't like Rolex sizing there watches in odd numbers e.g. 41mm or 43mm. Prehaps that ones just me? Nor do I like them inventing there own made up words e.g. 'Everose' also all modern Daytonas are ugly. Oh, and the Oysterfelx bands are terrible. I do like my boxster though lol!

Well, as others said, this may get some of us in "trouble".
Here's my list:

- "Safe Queens" don't get the purpose of buying a watch just to "admire" it as if it was a museum piece. If that's the case, pay for the watch and leave it at the AD. Ask them if you can come in to "admire" it in their display case once in a while.

- TT watches, not a fan. Pick a side please!

- Rolex watches on rubber bands. Latest example the new PM Daytonas.
