I like almost all the Rolex collection but don't necessarily
want to own the following:

YACHTMASTER II------------(can't see myself wearing one/ too yachty)

MILGAUSS-------------------(don't like the second hand lightning bolt)

DSSD------------------------(too big for my wrist/overkill)

This is not in any way intended to offend the owners of the aforementioned
watches.

TattooedGQ · 29 June 2010, 04:01 AM

DSSD
YM 1 and 2
OP
Daytona (probably gonna get flamed for this one)

Joey_V · 29 June 2010, 04:04 AM

Actually there isn't any Rolex that I wouldn't like to own.

mtrunner · 29 June 2010, 04:05 AM

DSSD - A lot of love for this watch but it is just way too big for my tastes.

Air King - I am not a fan of the Air King look.

Masterpiece - I do not like diamond bezels on men's watches.

Mockingbird · 29 June 2010, 04:05 AM

I wouldn't necessarily want to own a YMII, a Millie, a DSSD, a DD, a Smurf, or any YG or TT model.

So in other words, I like the SS tool watches and the DJ+Explorer.

Ummm, yeah and anything with precious stones isn't for me either. I don't particularly like the Cellini line either, but I'm not that into dress watches.

kyle L · 29 June 2010, 04:05 AM

Sorry!

mic6 · 29 June 2010, 04:06 AM

YM = ugly

would never buy one

Kapture1 · 29 June 2010, 04:09 AM

Blusey- Too Blue
YM- Unless it was Platinum

JJ Irani · 29 June 2010, 04:12 AM

Aside from all those blinged up models, which I can never afford anyway, I don't want any watch less than 40 mm on my wrist.

To me, that is of paramount importance.

JJ

Chipmunk · 29 June 2010, 04:13 AM

I love datejust but that one is ugly and so is that Leopard.

Same list, but add the AirKing and Cellini line.

DSJ · 29 June 2010, 04:29 AM

1. Crazy blinged models
2. Milgauss (newer version)
3. AirKing (too small for me)
4. DD/DJ 2 (too big and don't care for its look)
5. YM2 (no need and not worth the cost)
6. Daytona (don't love it enough to justify cost)
7. 1655 Explorer II (too expensive)
8. Smaller than 36mm
9. DS (too big and thick)
10. 116613/116618 (prefer the legacy models)

Noonan · 29 June 2010, 04:30 AM

Any model that has diamonds on the bezel/case. Other than that, I wouldn't mind owning any Rolex model.

Colnago · 29 June 2010, 04:43 AM

DayDate II and DateJust II.....sorry....they do zero for me......way, way too big for what they are supposed to be....JMHO....hope nobody gets flamed here....it's a good thread.....we are all as alike and as different as grains of sand....that's just how it should be....one man's junk is another man's treasure etc etc

I laughed out loud after reading this. No kidding, those are my three favorites!

Colnago · 29 June 2010, 05:05 AM

As I said....different strokes.....just goes to show.....we all love them.....but just some models more than others

Captainz · 29 June 2010, 05:11 AM

I LOVE THEM ALL, but I think the DAYTONA hype is too silly, especially for a watch with no Date

Thx

Anything big, black and boring. Sorry Mr. Bond.

Sponon · 29 June 2010, 05:38 AM

Everything that aint a diver, GMT, explorer, daytona and milgauss.

DRAWTOOL · 29 June 2010, 05:44 AM

Sub-Date, don't hate them, just like 14060s better.

Daytonas, don't hate them, just like the Tudors better.

Any TT

Any bling

The exception being the Leopard, so bad that it's good.

kcmo · 29 June 2010, 05:54 AM

Hmmmmm.....

YM/YM2
Milgauss
Explorer 2
Anything TT

Fiery · 29 June 2010, 05:55 AM

DSSD - too large and too heavy for my wrist
WG Sub - that shade of blue is not for me
Leopard Daytona - do I have to explain?

About the rest of the models, I never say never

chris russell · 29 June 2010, 05:59 AM

The DSSD is silly, anything smaller than 40mm is useless to me...

I do love the Milgauss black dial, though.

alpinab7 · 29 June 2010, 06:02 AM

Is there truly such a thing...

+1

I can't believe how many people don't like the YMII - I'm shocked. If they made an SS version of that watch I'd be all over it - IMHO it's STUNNING!!!

Kanger · 29 June 2010, 06:22 AM

Deepsea for sure, it's bigger than my head...

RotaryRider · 29 June 2010, 06:28 AM

No way! These three plus the GMT are the only Rolex's I have actually warmed up to so far..

Different strokes for different folks I guess
