The Daytona is really a woman's watch...

Haha I'm not so sure I agree with you, but that's pretty damn funny.

In fact the pair of them can't fathom my thought process, but it is what it is, haha.

For me I think the Daytona is colour sensitive. If i had the cash I would go for a plain steel one with a white dial.
The bi colour ones aren't my bag

I can't stand the Daytona and the BLNR does not do it for me either.

[Onikage]

I.. 'd probably better not. :|

I really like unpopular Rolexes, my favorite being the black GMT II C and the 42 mm EX II, I guess I don't have an unpopular Rolex opinion, but sure have an opinion on unpopular Rolexes.

You just got it totally wrong:

White gold is like dringking vodka and water with bear taste. It tastes like bear (the weight of gold), it is alcoholic (it is gold), but it doesn't look like bear (looks like steal).

Your description of WG suit better for something made of a cheap but yellow metal: Yes, it looks like gold (bear) but it isn't.

Personally I've never tried bear.

You totally got my point

[VicLeChic]

Many years ago I used to find most Rolex sports models boring and generic, that includes the Sub, Sea-Dweller, YM, GMT, Explorer, you name it. Wisdom got into me since and I now see the light.

I hate everything about Tudor: the name, the logo, the snowflake hands, the pseudo vintage look of the latest pieces. I wouldn't be caught dead wearing one.

I don't like the Daytona.
I don't like the ugly fat crown guards on supercase sports models.
I don't like the low quality bracelets on pre ceramic models.
I don't like Cellini at all.
I don't care for any of the line up other than Subs, GMTs, or SDs, those are the only Rolex's I have an interest in and it amazes me that people buy anything else.

Shallow huh?

My Explorer II is also one of my favorites, only surpassed by D-Blue.

[Sublovin]

I think two tones look cheap

I see what you did there

[Pharaoh_83]

I think the explorer ii is the best sports model

That really got a morning chuckle out of me

The entire YM line falls under the category of fugly ..... but my opinion could change it has in the past

I absolutely hate PCL's that opinion most likely won't change!

Do not like the red lettering " Daytona " on the 116500LN, wish it would have been 116710LN green. Find that especially on the white dial it makes the face look cheap. (He says still wishing he could get one).
Do not like jubilee bracelets.
Do not like TT watches.

[Starwalker]

Had the 116600 LN for 3 years. Tried to like it. Thought it was gonna grow on me. Never warmed up to it. Hate the proportions and the lugs (don't feel this way about the 116613 LB//LN because of the contrast of the dials and bezel). Anyways I flipped it for the Pam 389 and couldn't be happier. For whatever reason, just thought normal sub was a bit over-rated. I Guess the asthetics no matter how iconic never sang to me.

Have to kinda agree here. I have the black 500LN and love the red but on the white dial it looks pink and es no bueno.

<looks over left and right shoulder and whispers softly>

... the Explorer II is a terrible design, please fix it Rolex, it's not too late...

[droptopman]

Not a fan of modern Daytona models.
Prefer the blue on the Sub LB to the BLNR.
I like the Cellini Moon Phase.
I really dig two tone watches.
I love YG.

I'm with you on that but you forgot to add the "none date" and "non date" versions as well, perhaps Rolex really should stick with Submariner and Submariner date

[Mick P]

Anyone who wears a YG Rolex is probably a pimp because they certainly look like one. I will concede, however, that if they can afford to wear a YG Rolex, they must be a very successful pimp.

[andrewd]

The new datejusts and DD's larger than the classic 36mm looks tacky and completely lack class.
