I would wear any.

RolexNorth · 26 February 2017, 03:42 PM

Not interest in the least for an EXPII.
Not interest in any of the dressy stuff including the likes of a day/date, Air King, Just Date, No Date, etc.

Lastly, not interested in anything less than a 40mm in their lineup.

Rock · 26 February 2017, 04:13 PM

Not a model I wouldn't wear (and keep) if it was given to me.
I don't understand the dislike of the new Cellini range which I think is stunning.
Maybe not so keen on the looks of the SkyDweller but everyone to their own.

Never say never... since I have started collecting watches, few years back, my preferences changed 180 degrees. At first I was into big, noticeable watches. After having some I got bored with them and know I am into a phase that I prefer a more discreet presence on my wrist. Maybe in the future I will appreciate Cellini line. The only Rolex I can rule out now is Leopard Daytona. Cheers.

No pain, no gain

Ruud Van Driver · 26 February 2017, 04:23 PM

Daytona C and the YM II.

The Daytona because of the hype and the ridiculous pricing and the YM II simply doesn't appeal to me.

I wouldn't wear any of the ladies references either

NLYogi · 26 February 2017, 05:32 PM

Would never buy the Deepsea because of the big text about "helium valve". Also no Daytona because it is overrated.

SpeedyTuomas · 26 February 2017, 06:48 PM

Yachtmaster was my worst Rolex-move. Not my cup of tea.

Gerry62 · 26 February 2017, 07:53 PM

Explorer II

DLRIDES · 26 February 2017, 08:21 PM

Less than 40mm

Combination of fluted bezel and gold - grossly tacky

Daytona - excessively "busy" looking and faddish

Diamonds - throw up in mouth tacky

Cellini - WTF

Not a big fan of Rolex are you?

Mick P · 26 February 2017, 08:26 PM

Chaps

I would willingly buy any SS model, they are just so right.

WG is even better, understated class.

YG models - just forget it.

Regards

MonBK · 26 February 2017, 08:32 PM

Happy people love Chaps.

hambone1983 · 26 February 2017, 08:34 PM

Of the usual suspects mentioned most frequently here, I love the Milgauss and ExpII.

I wouldn't get a black sub. There 14 trillion of them out there (I think 57 were sold to people who actually scuba dive) and just seems like an exceptionally bland, boring watch.

I can quite agree with that, saying that you think a watch is rubbish is different from insulting the wearer.

You can easily say my favourite watch (39mm Explorer) is complete and utter crap and fit only to be mangled and dropped down a sewer. I would not be insulted by that at all, everyone has an opinion and is entitled to express it.

I would however think you have no taste but that is by the by.

Milgauss

Personally, the Submariner is Rolex, so any other models just don't fit wit my preconception of them.

However, I've never liked gold as a colour so stay away from them and I really don't like the design and style of the Oyster Perpetual and Date Just. If I had to have one of those simple watches, I would have the Explorer... But then again, I would just be thinking about the tool style of watches like the Submariner or Explorer II so, maybe not!

SeaDweller50 · 26 February 2017, 10:47 PM

Anything TT
Milgauss
Anything with fluted bezel
Daytona.
Cellini

WEST HAM ROLEX · 26 February 2017, 11:05 PM

Air King or Milgauss

Boostedfreak · 27 February 2017, 12:24 AM

Submariner

ajas · 27 February 2017, 12:41 AM

YM2 or anything smaller than 36 mm

zakattack62 · 27 February 2017, 12:42 AM

YM, Milgauss plus any other Rolex watch over $25k because it's out of my range.

DramaTurtle · 27 February 2017, 12:51 AM

Milgauss, Cellini, Air King, Sky-dweller, Explorer I, DJ II/41...

Really, the only models I actually like are the Sub and ExII.

douglasf13 · 27 February 2017, 02:14 AM

All current model Rolex watches, except maybe the OP.

Roaddog · 27 February 2017, 02:22 AM

I am not a big fan of the Hulk or YM bluey. Both are too bold for my taste. I avoid yellow gold also.

Rolex.c6 · 27 February 2017, 04:42 AM

Any model smaller than 40mm isn't working for me

KingRichard · 27 February 2017, 04:52 AM

I could never see myself buying an AK, a black dial explorer II, oysterflex YM, lady DJ

and of course no cellini models.

Wow no hulk? You gotta try one on. Always room in everyone's collection for a hulk

Heff · 27 February 2017, 05:13 AM

Cellini, DSSD, or Datejust.

Anything with yg. Not going to bash anyone's tastes, just I can't pull the colour off.

Other than that, I like most of them if I'm honest in different ways.
