In fact the pair of them can't fathom my thought process, but it is what it is, haha.
bro I hate to admit it, because these two watches are literally the most respected by the masses imo, but I totally agree lol

There, I said it.
I have to agree. They're just too fussy for my taste. And I've zero interest in the YMs. I would have said something negative about two tones too... except that I shocked myself a couple of weeks ago and bought a two tone GMT, and I absolutely love it

) RSC keeping parts from your personal property is theft !

) Fluted bezels are outdated. 1982 called and wants them back !

) Cyclops magnifier drastically affects the looks of a watch in a negative way !

1. PCLs - Gotta go.

2. Daytona - looks great in pictures, but in person, it seems too small, cluttered, and hard to read.

3. Milgauss - I just don't get the lightning bolt second hand.

4. GMTc - I would absolutely love it if Rolex would stop using a green font and a green 24-hour hand. White lettering, red hand, and I'll buy a black GMTc tomorrow (followed quickly by brushing the PCLs).

5. The only Sub I've ever been able to actually considered buying is a 14060. All the others just don't do it for me.

6. Anything green. I love the color, I just don't want it on my watch.

7. The snowflake hand completely ruins Tudor for me.

Share your unpopular Rolex opinion(s).

A GMT looks great on a jubilee bracelet.

But nothing beats the oyster.

I think having both red and blue on the bezel makes it a tad too gaudy.

My unpopular opinions:
1. Stainless and black Subs are too common
2. People baby their watches and worry too much
3. No one cares that you are wearing a Rolex
4. Take the stickers off!

None of those opinions are unpopular. Nice try.

#7 - thought I was the only one on that opinion. And DJII hour markers are just a smidge too big.

I agree with both your points. I absolutely think the snowflake hand ruins the Tudor watches that have it and I also think the DJ II sticks are too fat.
