No clue whatsoever -- I tend to think more about what watch I want next vs. the one I don't...

Just my .02

Any Rolex that feels to bulky for comfort on my 6.5 in wrist. These include the 114060 which I've already bought and sold. Likely the SDC and DSSD as well.

This model with platinum dial is on my Radar! Congrats!

Different strokes, eh? Amazed that some many dislike my favorite Rolex - the Daytona. C'est la vie.

Cheers, all.

  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!

SS Daytona w white face.

Unfortunately due to resources there are quite a few models I'd never buy.

Actually even if this wasn't an issue I have quite simple tastes so I think there are only 2 or 3 I'd really consider. The rest although look fantastic I just couldn't see myself wearing them.

Maybe one day, opinions change.

This really is a pretty interesting thread. There are a lot of individuals who really seem to appreciate the subs and GMTs and dislike the "flashier" Rolex watches. Must be the sub/gmt classic style and case size. I do not currently have either but am looking to add one in the future.

I got a lot out of this thread as well. Seeing what others don't like gives a different view into their taste. I like the fact we are all different.

I love the vintage (pre ceramic) Sub, 70's piepan dial DJs and white ExIIs. Also, current model ExII (black only), Milgauss, YM in blue.

I don't care for anything else. It's mostly a size thing, or I don't care for the complications. YMII and SkyDweller are pretty useless to me personally.

Up until turning 50 I'd have said never a Datejust TT; as a 50th birthday gift it's now pretty much my daily wearer.
The result is that I'll not be making any more 'never' predictions😃

Easier to say which I do like, the Submariner and the Explorer. The only two which have stayed true to their heritage, just simple style and class, no bling, no bright colours and just stainless steel.The rest of the range doesn't move me at all, just too excessive.

I would say never for any variation of the YMII or the Daytona.
I won't say never to a fluted bezel but when given the option I prefer smooth.

YMII. Absolutely horrible. But who knows, I might get a diamond teeth grill. YM II will go perfect with that.
