The deepeea is a gorgeous watch and has real world applications.
However, the nasty fugly yachtmaster II is nothing more than a glorified paper weight or door stopper.

Interesting. DSSD vs. YMII. Real world applications. A very small segment will ever use either's functionality. It is probably more likely a YMII will be used to count down the start at a race than a DeepSea to dive down over 10,000 ft.

All the Rolexes are over engineered and I doubt many use their "tool" watches for what the application they're meant to be used for with the exception of maybe the GMT and Explorer II. Although I doubt people use the 3rd time zone function on the GMT.

I also have to say, I actually think the YMII looks great in white gold with the silver bezel. Pictures just don't do it justice. You have to wear one/try one on to appreciate it.

I was at an AD in Cincinnati today and the salesman was wearing a Deep Sea. Too big and at the bottom of my list IMO.

Leopard Daytona and Zebra DJ. Basically, any model that resembles an animal.

The Datejust Royal Black is just....nasty. And I think Rolex ruined the high-end GMT IIs with too many gemstones on. I think I agree with the others about the bling...a classy watch is an understated watch

Not a real fan of any modern day Rolex especially now that rolex rolex and all the rest of the not needed fonts and shiny bits etc.But not a fan of the SS daytona great movement shame about the rest.Now say a 6263 bezel and dial then I could get to like one Modern day Rolex.
