Ugly Rolex Duckling ???

Why the Datejust 16234 is the ugly duckling of Rolex? It is the image of Rolex outside the Forums, but within the Forums it has no acceptance. I really like mine, and when I saw Bill Murray in Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation, I fell in love with the movie and the watch. This film was responsible for wanting to have one.








Bill Murray and his 16234 in Lost in Translation







... and my Datejust 16234

No idea.

People like what they like. Simple.

Nothing ugly about that. Is there anyone in the world who does NOT love Bill Murray? I think not!

Never heard it called that anywhere. The ugly duckling is IMO the YMII

I happen to like the TT DJ. To me, it’s a swan.

DJ isnt a hot or flippable watch... dont confuse that with not a nice watch.
