Exactly !

wow this guy is on fire

The jubilee looks like the poor man's president.

5) The words "sing" and "stunning" on TRF. You should be able to find another way to describe a watch that appeals to you without using the word sing. And not every watch is stunning. Every BLNR looks exactly like every other one.

7) People who hate on the platinum Daytona bezel who have never seen one in person. If *I* like it, you should too!

Loved the buying 2+ on the same day. My AD was trying to talk me into that last month ... Nooooo wayyyyy ... Gotta enjoy em

[EDL7]

Hate Mercedes hands..

[lain09]

Can't get myself to look past the cyclops on any of the sports models. I prefer the circle shape on the Panerais.

The numeral size and font on the GMTIIC bezel keeps me away from seriously considering one.

Lee touched on this a few pages back.... my only dislike, would be spending over 15k for a Rolex and getting a rubber band...would never even consider such... everything else about the brand, I love

[Egelber]

Okay, there has been so many responses I forgot what the post was about. Whoops Sorry

Great thing about this forum is the diversity of opinions, even when they're dead wrong. ;-)

Well, just think that at 6'5" and 240lbs, no one is brave enough to say - "Hey bud, are you wearing a women's watch?" I am not... Well maybe from the safety of the internet. (Wait I should check where you live first...)

Wear it well, my man. (I am joking, but I wish they would make the Daytona in 2 sizes.)


Just checked, you are from Texas, just so you know, I live in Washington, that's practically all the way to Alaska, a bunker, in the forest, in the mountains, no one can find me, so don't try - please. Seriously, people walk 10 feet off the trails up here and they get lost and die.

See the comment about the 2 types of Sub owners....

Or worse, the ones that list all the watches they own and have sold - those are the worst.

[Portland]

I don't know if this one has been said already, but I can't stand the pictures with a Rolex on top of some sort of food.

Rolex on top of a burger!
Rolex mixed with some chicken alfredo!
Rolex floating around in my Pho!

I love a certain Jewlers On Time rep to death, but every time I see a Rolex on top of food it makes me want to punch something cute and furry.

Font is what made my like it, modern but not crazy

It's about realizing we've been duped! Rolex sucks! The king has no clothes! revolt! Storm the castle!

BTW, when does the blue dial Sky Dweller hit the U.S. stores?

Actually the opposite - I think your opinion will be quite popular...

Members saying 'Many congrats' when really they're thinking WTF, are you out of your mind??

[BLACKHORSE 6]

I hate that rolex puts five lines of text on their dials.

I just bought 2 in 1 day. Unique set of circumstances that couldn't be passed up. Sorry that's a "hated thing" lol, but when your wife is basically giving you not only the ok, but encouraging it, you take advantage. Just sayin.

[FTX I]

Alright I'll play. People calling their Submariner "Hulk" and refering to it as "she". That's what he got for 8k.

I really like the new Air-King

[Osrus]

Brown dials called chocolate, it's brown and should not be used on a watch!

Bought a BLNR and didn't like it.

I don't HATE any watch.

If you don't like the 'cyclops' don't buy the watch.

It's all in good fun. I myself wish it were slightly larger. I used to live in Washington. I worked for the National Park Service and traversed the woods all the time so I know my way around pretty well.

[Daytonaman799]

I like the 16520 more than the 4 digit Daytonas. I also like the six digit Daytonas more than the 4 digits.

[Stew7]

I never understood the lunacy over the 2016 release of the DaytonaC. The previous version is better looking.

The gorgeous blue on the Platona is ruined by the pairing with brown. Surely, there were better options.

I think it's ridiculous to call oneself a "watch collector" and own no other brands besides Rolex.
