Submariner, especially the bluesy.
I respect it, but I just can't jive with the style. I actually prefer the style of the Tudor Black Bay more. EDIT: Add the Yachtmaster II to this list. I enjoy the original, but the YMII is just too much. Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk |

Probably never:
jubilee bracelet under 40mm Milguass, Explorer, Air King, Datejust, or Cellini My favorites: YG DD40 YG/TT Sub blue dial Daytona with panda dial Cool thread here. I agree with previous comments that this thread really shows how Rolex can appeal to many with different tastes and there is no problem bashing a watch model without personally insulting the wearer. |

Although I owned one in the past (remember the 80's), I would not buy a two toned.
Also, I have never liked diamonds on Men's watches, just a personal preference (I know many like them). And the YM II, I just don't like the name on the bezel, just a step too far IMO. As for likes, I love chronographs, especially Daytonas. I love meteorite and think Rolex does those very well. And I love precious metals, especially WG and platinum. I like the weight and subtlety, and the fact that most people will think they are plain SS. It is like knowing a secret. |

What Rolex model you would never ever buy?
What wouldn't I buy? Anything two-tone. All SS - great. All YG - fine. All WG - fine. I just don't like mixing and matching with my metals.

1) Yacht Master II - I find it to be gaudy and tasteless. "Clown-Master"
 would be a more appropriate name.2) Cellini - Not into thin, dressy pieces. The above are my opinions only. To each his own.

I love my Bluesy, and by any other name it's still gorgeous.
Probably the only Rolex I for sure wouldn't buy is anything in the Cellini line. Milgauss and Air King would be pretty far down the list, too.

 A steel sports Rolex with a crazy complication that a lot of Internet forum dwelling Rolex fanboys (fan-geriatrics) get all hatey about? Makes it almost a must-have! Got other things (like the Smurf). But the total f**k-*ff-ness of the steel YM II, the Rolex anti-social and yet extroverted, who gives a crap attitude of it really warrants appreciation by a certain type of character. Besides, complications. Who on earth needs a moonphase? For werewolves and their minders perhaps? Or an annual calendar, come on. Really, can't remember what month it is?  Most chronographs never get used and that jerk-off complication is on every other haute horology piece.A ten minute countdown timer, completely over engineered like it's the most important thing ever, in a 44mm case. It's like a giant middle finger to all the insecure, old-timey watch snobbery out there. |

Being in engineering, I can appreciate the Milgauss internals.....however that tacky lightning bolt second hand makes me want to vomit.

Only Sub, DD and DJ for me. I like GMT and Daytona, but i would never need the complication of the first and i dislike the tachy on the latter. Also no diamonds decoration, floral or jubilee dials.

I dont think I could buy a Cellini watch. Too girly in my opinion but who knows, never say never.
