I wouldn't go down that path, on social media you'll find Subbys and Dwellys and pretty soon you'll be frozen out of Rolex altogether.

ufboy73 · 24 July 2017, 10:43 AM

I would never buy a Yactmaster because...well...i am not one

DTNSS · 24 July 2017, 10:52 AM

Air King, Explorer, Cellini, Milfaus, SD43.

Both among my favourites. I would never wear a ceramic model, to me not nice at all. Especially the Sub, with those big square lugs. And nothing two-toned or any Skydweller.

1) Yacht Master II - I find it to be gaudy and tasteless. "Clown-Master"

would be a more appropriate name.

2) Cellini - Not into thin, dressy pieces.

The above are my opinions only. To each his own.

Case61 · 24 July 2017, 11:27 AM

I love my Bluesy, and by any other name it's still gorgeous.

Probably the only Rolex I for sure wouldn't buy is anything in the Cellini line. Milgauss and Air King would be pretty far down the list, too.

jakeysrolex · 24 July 2017, 11:33 AM

Yachtmaster II, generally not a watch for old people (reduced neuroplasticity, anything different or unfamiliar or new, or just COOL registers as unsettling and frightning to them). Think polyester pants pulled up to chest, sandals and socks, 80's two tone watches.

I'm digging my YM II.

Would never buy? Two-one anything. Plus any watches that look like guys borrowed them from their gf. (yea looking at you, Daytona)

OK I'm and old guy and you apparently think I'm an asshole due to my age. Actually the YMII complication would be useless to me and for that kind of money I want a watch with complications I use, not just something that looks neat. Somehow I thought a forum dealing with watches wouldn't include attempts to insult someone due to something beyond their control, like age. Cheers!

OK, you like the YM II, I think it's likely that most people don't like it, regardless of their age.

I think the YMII would complement that attire pefectly.

...and that may be the ideal time to call this watch obsession/sickness as 'cured! ;)
