Hey guys,

Just curious....

Besides Cellini, which Rolex Model Line do you like the least and why?

BiG JeEzY · 19 June 2008, 06:20 PM

For me, its probably still the Yacht Master II. Why? Because its the "clown master!!"

The design of the Yacht Master II is definitely growing on me though. I guess I just need to give the model some time. It is a very functional timepiece thats for sure.

lorsban · 19 June 2008, 06:40 PM

Ok, but what about the YM series in general?

mrloneranger · 19 June 2008, 06:42 PM

I think the YM is the best looking Prof Rolex! But i might be biased

I Love the Yacht Master 1, its only the Yacht Master II that I initially disliked. Its really hard to answer the question in terms of general models exactly because I like them all. There are just a few specific models that I may not be too fond of.

blueface · 19 June 2008, 09:09 PM

I never liked the oyster quartz models. I just don't like the way they look.

mrloneranger · 19 June 2008, 09:22 PM

IMO most of the prof models look fairly similar. The SD, SM, YM, GMT etc all have similar case and strap with slightly different coloured bezels / dials.

I guess its a well proven design so why change it too much. I tend to prefer these models over the DD etc.

Steven79 · 19 June 2008, 09:25 PM

Im not too fond of the Airking, explorer I, or the TT daytonas.

BigHat · 19 June 2008, 10:54 PM

Air King and YM don't sing to me.

SPACE-DWELLER · 19 June 2008, 11:00 PM

I hate:

The YM II
The "Zebra" DJ
The "Leopard" Daytona
The "Beach" Daytonas
Any Rolex watch with diamonds/sapphires on the lugs, case and bracelet

fikko · 19 June 2008, 11:02 PM

Explorer I.
Still can not figure out why Exp I is so popular in Japan before.

zak98 · 19 June 2008, 11:02 PM

YM family
any diamond encrusted version

oyster quartz something rolex should never have done!

Concur of course.

I just assumed these "nightmares" were automatically hated and we were judging among the least favorite mainstream models

Yeah, I know. Well, the least liked for me would be the "Masterpiece" Day-Date line then.

I Hate newbies who start "I hate" links.
They tend to breed ill will, which seems to go against the grain of TRF.

MrCowboy99 · 20 June 2008, 12:20 AM

You quoted him wrong... he asked which line you like the least. Seems like a pretty straight forward question to me. We all have our favorites and other that we don't like as much. I don't think the original posted meant any harm.

I find any of the gemstone laden pieces from the Liberace Line to be ugly, pointless, gaudy, WAYYYY overpriced even at todays phony inflated commodities prices, and an overall abomination from a company that produces extremely fine and functional pieces 98% of the time.

Why do they even make those? Perhaps the Dubai market keeps those monstrosities in business. After all, at the ridiculous markup of those pieces if you sold one every 5 years you would cover your production and labor costs.

oneillba · 20 June 2008, 04:16 AM

The OysterQuartz. It goes against the grain of having a Rolex in the first place. I know it is a fine electronic movement, but I like the thought of having something entirely mechanical on my wrist.
