Based on your choice, how would you rank these Rolexes rank in desirability?

Please share your rankings and thoughts below

[aes7.5x55]

Mine would be:
1. Milgauss
2. Explorer II (polar)
3. Explorer 39
4. Sub
5. Air King
This is my opinion based on aesthetics alone.

Tough call between the sub and the exp 39 since I like both watches equally; both tool watches as they can be also worn with a suit especially the sub. I cannot say the same for the rest. Sorry, but not fan of any of the 3 remaining.

1 - Sub
2 - Air King

The rest aren't on my radar. Air King has the same case with anti-magnetic properties as the Milgauss, and is better looking and cheaper too.

If I didn't already have a GMT II, my first pick would be the white Explorer II. Otherwise, I'd go with the black SubC. The others leave me totally cold.

I still travel Internationally and the dual time zone is useful.

I prefer to wear the Sub but for me the Exp1 is the more versatile from its better fit to its suitability for formal with suit & tie to in the hills situations etc.

This is the correct answer.

But, replace the Z-blue by the GV, and I'd move the GV to 2nd.

Wow not for me.

I know you wanted your list ranked, but any list that doesn't include a GMT or Daytona just isn't right.

Steel only? Have to vote for the only model with a gold option - Sub.

For me, it would have to be as follows:

1. Air king
2. Explorer II
3. Submariner
4. Blue Milgauss
5. Explorer 39mm

[Tony-GB]

I prefer Sub Date to Sub.

[UnicoJG]

Mine would be:

1. Sub
2. Explorer II
3. Explorer 39mm
4. Milgauss
5. Air King

[slide13]

1. Sub
2. Exp I
3. Exp II
4. Milguass
5. Air King


If they'd make a few small tweaks the Air King could easily slide up to #3. I like the little hits of color on it and I can get over the mix match of hour/minute numbers. What I can't get over is the utter lack of lume but for the 12 o'clock marker. If those 3/6/9 markers had been the lumed ones from the new ExpI then the Air King would rank much higher for me.

Gotta add Sea-Dweller to the top.
