A bit harsh there, my old friend. I think the guy was just trying to start up a post and ask for opinions, that's all.

Let's all keep it nice and friendly, guys.

Thanks & cheers - JJ

Agree JJ.
Lots of inane threads here one could wigout over, but this isn't one of them.

He said "least liked" NOT hate and 32 responses later I see no "ill-will."

nothing wrong with this thread!

newrolexman · 20 June 2008, 04:41 AM

Both of these words in the same breath give me the creeps..

"Quartz Rolex"

This is correct. Thanks for backing me up, guys! I definitely did not want to start any hate/flame threads. I'm really just curious to hear all of your opinions.

Thing is, Rolex has such a broad range of products - from plain to bling, from dress to sport, quartz to mechanical, small to large. So, I didn't think it would be likely for everyone to zero in on just one line or model - which will ultimately end up alienating a few people and making them feel bad (although I'm seeing a lot here don't like the Air King - My boy ain't gettin' no love! haha)

To those who do not really find the Oysterquartz attractive, I found this website to be a good read. It is completely dedicated to the OQ. I personally like the OQ myself, though I agree that the design could have been better.

Besides Cellini, which Rolex Model Line do you like the least and why?

I dislike anyting that does not have a mechanical heartbeat

stevemulholland3 · 20 June 2008, 07:21 PM

I think their sports line watches are just plain UGLY!!!!
just kidding,he he he.

mic6 · 20 June 2008, 11:24 PM

The rolexes that i like the least are the leopard daytona and ss/plat yachtmaster.
Best looking for me are the TT and 18K blue subs, the SDDS and the YM II in YG

ratae1950 · 21 June 2008, 02:49 AM

Anything with diamonds or zebras [for men.]

watchlady · 21 June 2008, 03:22 AM

Ladies models, 26mm is just too small to read. At least Rolex has mid size though and at least the ladies models are mechanical unlike other watchmakers that of do quartz models only or mostly for ladies.

watchlady · 21 June 2008, 03:26 AM

No hating here, it's a nice place.

jmk1 · 21 June 2008, 06:51 AM

I totally agree with u.

redshirt1957 · 21 June 2008, 07:08 AM

Yes, I would love to put you on a wainting list for that (input any new Rolex offering or the SS Daytona).

Price increase coming soon.

We can't service your vintage watch anymore.

Well, I will have to call Rolex USA for that answer.

Just a start! I am sure there are many more.

lorsban · 21 June 2008, 09:47 AM

For me, it'll have to be the Daytona series. Mainly because I don't really like chronographs. It's a feature I hardly use regularly.

scottschoe · 21 June 2008, 04:36 PM

DJ's or AK's.

gmh1013 · 21 June 2008, 05:00 PM

Hmmm,

Any with diamonds, prints and that YM2 is terrible
I have a WG DJ, Im partial to DJ's
The sub and the SD were to much alike IMHO
I would like to have a gold YM but they will never happen unless i win a lottery

I believe we are of kindred spirit.
Totally agree although HATE is a strong word.
We both have the same grail Rolex too

Also as much as I don't like saying it the Clownmaster II in WG is growing on me big time.

Why do they even make those? Perhaps the Dubai market keeps those monstrosities in business. After all, at the ridiculous markup of those pieces if you sold one every 5 years you would cover your production and labor costs.

Could not agree more

sea-dweller · 2 July 2008, 11:07 AM

Oyster Quartz, any Rolex with diamonds (on the dial, lugs, etc), and the new YM II,

cbsmohai · 2 July 2008, 01:19 PM

As much as many people consider it a grail watch, the Daytona to me is just a tad cluttered and I feel that it's desirability is weighed heavily upon it's limited release, not so much it's functionality.

PennsyBill · 2 July 2008, 03:55 PM

I relatively new to the world of Rolex watchs but don't quite see how someone could find a watch that looks like this even close to "ugly".

I think it has a classic, masculine look...especially the bracelet. I can understand if someone prefers the more traditional movement of the second-hand ...

astcell · 2 July 2008, 04:05 PM

Not a fan of the Air King.

austinsig · 2 July 2008, 04:36 PM

Agreed! But the Leopard Daytona is worse than all of the others on the list combined!!!
