Just for a bit of fun. I'll start off, but with 2 actually.

1. I don't think the Submariner is a great looking watch (my Dad thinks I'm mad)

2. I don't think the Daytona is a great looking watch (my brother thinks I'm mad)

In fact the pair of them can't fathom my thought process, but it is what it is, haha.

My unpopular opinion is I think your opinions are wrong.

Phong · 13 April 2017, 11:46 AM

I think that the Cellini Danaos is one of the most beautiful Rolex models.

HogwldFLTR · 13 April 2017, 11:51 AM

Few modern Rolexes cause me to get excited. I generally like the older ones (four and five digit models) better.

Also the new Sea Dweller should be renamed the Sub Dweller!!!

3130by1213 · 13 April 2017, 11:55 AM

The Hamilton Khaki Field Auto 38mm is 70% as beautiful as a 39mm Explorer for 7% of the cost.

Bigsykedaddy · 13 April 2017, 11:56 AM

Even though I know quite a bit about watches (now) the Submariner is still my favorite Rolex (that is until I get my hands on a Daytona, then who knows.)

rph08 · 13 April 2017, 12:02 PM

Ahem, IMHO Rolex should officially rename the Submariner to something like:

No Date Sub, or Submariner ND, or SubC ND

This will keep so many people from being wrong all the time...might help their self esteem or something. lol

jazznpool · 13 April 2017, 12:06 PM

I have no use for any kind of watches oriented for use in the deep sea! I hate thick, blocky and too large for my wrist watches! No interest in anything Tudor.
There I said it.

Maiden · 13 April 2017, 12:25 PM

I think the solid gold GMT with the Green dial is ugly.
I dont care for the BLNR. Looks cartoonish, almost like a litte kid that is trying to hard.

While I am sure these opinion are not popular with many, they relate to personal taste and preference which we all have. I have a TT Bluesy, I have buddy who hates two tone, tells me it looks like bunch of gold teeth on my wrist! Were all different, thats what makes this hobby fun!

DramaTurtle · 13 April 2017, 12:41 PM

Polar Explorer II looks like a kid's toy. Also, I dislike all modern Daytonas.

KDS777 · 13 April 2017, 12:46 PM

Wearing white gold is the same as drinking non-alcoholic beer.

OgSnowflake · 13 April 2017, 12:51 PM

Box could use an update, anything 2 tone makes me wanna vomit... everything else is perfect.

Slippy Chips · 13 April 2017, 12:52 PM

Hers one of mine:

I like to keep the stickers on for just a Couple of days. I just like to let the newness linger... and I'm strange.

joe100 · 13 April 2017, 12:54 PM

Rolex makes one watch. Just depends on what size you want your oyster case to be and if you want a rotating bezel. The rest is almost all interchangeable.

willski · 13 April 2017, 12:55 PM

An update to the box would be nice.

I really, really hope the Cellini line does well.

Randy63 · 13 April 2017, 01:26 PM

I think the super cased sport models are a blocky mess and scream "Hey look at me and my big fat Rolex".

They just try way too hard.

The DSSD is a different animal, of course.

So the most super case, gigantic and blocky of all Rolex sport models is somehow excluded form this designation.

I love it!

helson · 13 April 2017, 01:38 PM

People ask if it is real.

People think Rolex is very expensive and cost like like .. $3000.

breitlings · 13 April 2017, 01:39 PM

I think Rolex is more durable and accurate than most other watches.

eonflux · 13 April 2017, 01:45 PM

Rolex makes good mid-priced watches, and they aren't "the best"

Lordofrolex · 13 April 2017, 01:47 PM

YM 1 personally I hate them. Just not for me.

I know it doesn't make any sense but for some reason the DSSD is just fantastic in my eyes. It's not trying too hard because it is the Beast. Unfortunately it's way too big for me.

That doesn't count coz that's going to be popular opinion (i.e, OP's opinions are wrong)

DCheeta · 13 April 2017, 01:52 PM

I hate fluted bezels, and I hate jubilee bracelets.

There, I said it.

Smarties · 13 April 2017, 02:09 PM

I think green dial, green bezel look ugly.

Don't like maxi case.

rolex aficionado · 13 April 2017, 03:06 PM

LV Sub is just horrible...
was that too loud ?

AF_Rob · 13 April 2017, 03:18 PM

Only one modern Rolex is worth my money, the Explorer 2, black.

vladamir15 · 13 April 2017, 03:30 PM

I prefer dress models to sport models

Cru Jones · 13 April 2017, 03:35 PM

Many more people notice what watch you're wearing than you like to think....

F1polesitter · 13 April 2017, 03:43 PM

Subs are boring (due to their popularity).

Also, the box is not fitting for a watch at the price range Rolex plays in.
