What Rolex model you would never ever buy?
Hi,
Rolex is so nice, but for me there are models that just don't do.
What about you guys? Please be kind, i know i just a matter of taste, but Rolex owners seems to be passionate about their models. Waiting for the opinios and the Thanks! |

Yikes. Most.
My must haves are Date with cyclops Fluted bezel Jubilee or President. Sticks. Day complication is and possibly handy in my dotage. Cheers. Looking forward to a 126331 or a good Rootbeer. Last edited by Dove37; 14 April 2016 at 01:38 AM.. Reason: Ooops |

I NEVER say NEVER!
But... I could not see myself wearing a YMII Other than that - I'd say anything is fair game!

I do not like the YMII, I disagree with you (and most it seems) about the new AK.

YM II. If I was given one for free, I wouldn't even open the box.

If money was not an issue I'd buy every Rolex model available.
But because it is an issue, I have no plans of purchasing a Leopard Daytona. Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

Nothing with a fluted bezel and not the YM - all very unappealing to me. (I quite fancy the new AK, I confess).

You never know but I don't see myself ever getting a Cellini because there's a long list of other dress watches I'd get first in that price range.

What Rolex model you would never ever buy?
I would never buy a non-working Rolex
But - outside of that, I'd buy any model since it's worth knowing what wearing every model is like.

I actually think this is a fun thread... I don't think I would ever buy a Air king or an Explorer, but not because I dislike them just don't like them enough to spend then money on them. If someone was giving them away, I would wear anything in the entire lineup with pride.

I can't say that the Milgauss, the Yachtmaster, the Daytona, the Explorer II, the Skydweller, or the Air King appeal to me.
Now, if any one of those happened to fall out of the sky and land in my pocket, I'm not saying I'd send it back. Rather, I won't be buying any of those models for myself. And, of course, no disrespect intended towards anyone who favors those models. |

YMII -- no need for the functionality, do not care for the looks
Sky Dweller -- no need for the functionality, do not care for the looks Sea Dweller -- too large and heavy for me Deep Sea -- too large and heavy for me Pearlmaster -- do not care for the look

When asking my son his preference for his 21st birthday, e stated he would not want a Blue/Black, a none date Sub or a DJ!
Because he would get mine when I die! |
