Milgauss and AK (just not my thing), along with a Daytona (wears way too small for my wrists).

Would never buy a Celini, Milgauss, air king, any Yacht Master and any Daytona- just don’t like the look of them.

Correct. Add daydate to that too, and datejust and deep sea.
Infact, just add anything that isn't a Submariner, GMT, or ExpII.

But because it is an issue, I have no plans of purchasing a Leopard Daytona.

Gotcha. Yeah- bad habit of mine, as I have the 16570. Still refer to the 42mm as new. Current is definitely a better description.

To be sure, I love almost all Rolex references. There are only a handful that are not for me, including:

Womens models (obviously)
DateJust - greasy old man vibes, not pleasing to the eye
Daytona - too small, no date, poor legibility, 0% practical application, less durable than other options.
OP - great history but kinda boring and not as good a value as other references.

Watches I love love love: Sub, GMTII, Sea-Dweller, DeepSea, YM, SkyDweller, Milgauss, Explorer II, and most 18kt gold references.

Cheers,
B

For myself, I would never buy any two-tone YG/RG Rolex, or any Rolex with diamonds on the case, bezel or bracelet. With few exceptions that can pull it off (Johnny Depp-like bohemians), I generally dislike bling and sparkly jewelry on men.

>Daytona

I only like the OP39 and the Explorer. I like simple, no date, no big bezel, and can be worn with anything.

I have owned almost every SS model at one point and could never fall in love with any of them. I sold them all and won't be going back.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but I'm not 100% sold on the Explorer II

Never want the air king.

I really like all Rolex references, there is not only one I dislike. The YM II is beautiful to my eyes and the AK, Milgauss, jubilee, oyster, president, rubber, all Rolexes but I like divers more.
