I've never actually seen a YM2 in person, I don't like it in pictures but I have a feeling I might like it in the flesh. It's certainly a head turner.

Apologize if I offend anyone... but the new green SubC is just hideous.
And I don't care for any gold .. TT or complete gold watches.

Yachtmaster. Too much over lap with the Submariner and can't perform a lot of the functions of say Navitimer.

It seems many people are irritated by the lightning bolt hand on milgause..

Explorer I followed by the Milgauss.(if I were to own a Milgauss, it would only be due to the unique look of the GV).

explorer-just too simple and boring for me
yg ymII-the opposite. way too busy and colorful. hate the inscription on the bezel and the colour combination. in wg it is not so horrible.
deepsea-would be a great watch without the unnecessary inscription around the dial. just don't get to understand why they needed that?

I actually like the lightning bolt hand because I see it as a tip of the cap by Rolex to the Milgauss watches of the late '50s that also featured the lightning bolt hand (I can see where this could rub some people the wrong way though).

Deepsea is just ridiculous. Probably one of my least favorite Rolex in every category.

The Submariner "shark" wg blue dial/bezel... 20,000$ more than a standard Subc for a color change on 2 parts... & white gold, isn't gold in my opinion... the irony is I love the watch, I just hate the fact Rolex forces you into wg, making it my least favorite... as always no disrespect...

I really don't like the GMTIIc. I think they jumped the shark on that one. The old GMT was an elegant sport watch that was dressier than a sub. The ceramic is an ugly sub with less water resistance. I do understand you can't make the same thing for 50 years without some changes... But I still don't like it.

The DSSD is a bit ridiculous in it's proportions. Nothing wrong with having a big size (you need to in today's marker), but putting it on a 20mm bracelet? It looks like a U-Boat, which is really weird for a Rolex (in fact it is almost exactly the same size as a 45mm Classico).

What is it about the Exp II that you don't like?

Does anyone know if the WG sub has the same blue dial and bezel as the TT sub bluesy? Or are they different blue?
