So much air king hate! I think it’s unique, my no list would be anything tutor. Just don’t see the love for them.

Personally if I was racing sailboats a YMII would be great.

Now I have one of the least popular, the Milgauss which is perfect for an engineer like me; possibly also unpopular the YM. Also hope to get a OP41. The only thing certain is change!!! Anyone else look back and see they've changed their minds?

Hmmm, that is wrong! In my case, anyway.
I had Sub, E2, E1.......OP is still one of my favourite.


Also, the new OPs are as hot as it can get. They have easylink and 70hr power reserve....dynamite!

This is it for me. Hate the Ring Lock System Helium Escape Valve text. Also don’t like big watches although I have 7.75” wrists.

A lot actually now that I think about it... can't see myself purchasing anything that's not a SUB or GMT, or Daytona. Also vintage is out for me, wrist is just too big for the more classic case sizes, and I'm tough on my watches so I'd damage it for sure.

No more 5 digit to me.
4 digit vintage like my 1680, lovely or 6 digit (116 and 126) !
I am hermetic to the AirKing and YM2 however

I do not care for large watches, and I'm one of those that's upset with the size increase of the Sub and especially the OP...But... I'm strangely drawn to the YMII. I have tried one on too- the yellow gold. It's a heavy chunk of metal.

That being said, the current Air King would be one that I would not wear, and maybe the Milguass. Add to that the Sky Dweller (due to size) and anything with a ton of diamonds.

Most 6 digits if not all of them.

Only the SD4k was right for me.

Are you talking about wearing Rolex simply to impress other people? Otherwise not sure I understand the logic behind your reply

lol yeah i never said that....

My submariner feels more premium than my old OP. I sold it cause i stopped wearing it.

What does upgrading your watch have to do with impressing other people? I dont see your connection here

Of course he is. Hence the ‘Entry level’ comment.

The OP has the exact same movement as the Submariner...

What exactly are you upgrading

Anything with roman numerals. Especially with IIII instead of IV. That just looks silly

Not the new OPs.
What are you talking about? New movement, easylink!
Milgaus, E2, Airking and E1 dont have the new movement and they are sport models.
Not everyone wants a ceramic bezel.

Take it easy!

lol yeah we arent talking about the OP 41. I simply said I didnt like my OP 39 because it felt entry level (Which it is)

and its not crazy to think that a submariner was an upgrade from the OP 39.

Idk why everyone is freaking out cause i said I didnt like my OP and thats why i sold it.
Its a matter of preference.
I sold my Sub and Im happier with a DJ and an OP.
