  3. And Finally, the air-king, i see not point on this model.
  4. And i will always try to stay away of two tone models (Except a SUB with blue dial)

What about you guys? Please be kind, i know i just a matter of taste, but Rolex owners seems to be passionate about their models.

Waiting for the opinios and the

Thanks!

Honestly, I don't see myself in any milguass whatsoever.

I would never buy a modern Milgauss.
That lightening seconds hand drives me to distraction.
Strangingly enough, if I wanted protection from magnetism, I'd use the new Air-King. I bought the Air-King purely down to its quirky dial, but I wouldn't have it it had the bothersome lightening hand.
Regards

"My watch is taking a beating too ... :-) but in some weird way I am kind of enjoying it!!!!"
That white gold SkyD with the Roman Numerals is the nuts. When a citizen sees it he thinks stainless but a Rolex guy knows what the Roman Numerals mean. Understated as a watch with that many complications can be and exquisite!
I would have used the quote function to add the photo but I don't have enough posts to allow that.

YM II is a piece I would confidently say never to.

I'm not hot about the AK, Milgauss, YM or Exp2, but I would never say never. I also thought anything YG would be off the list, but seeing the YG Oysterflex Daytona changed my mind. Same thing for diamonds, I changed my mind when I saw the 116506 with baguette diamond dial.

Would never buy Any rolex in stainless or two-tone...two tones are especially unaattractive to my eyes.

No sports watches except platona which I can't afford.

Really only interested in the day-date. Other than that, I like vintage Omega constellations from the 50s and 60s .
