To be honest, this is a great list of my least favorite Rolex. The only one I’d be interested in is the Sub

1- GMTII BLNR
2- GMTII BLRO
3- SD SS - Blue
4- Explorer II 42mm - Polar
5- Submariner LV

I'm not able to say which one it's more desirable to me, so I'm not ranking them...

Dominate, you nailed my list with your own! But, if I had to make a list for desirable Rolex's I want to own just for myself, it'll be these 2:

1. Submariner Date (Current 6 Digit reference)
2. GMT Master II (5 Digit reference on Oyster bracelet)

1. Steel Submariner
2. Explorer II 40mm
3. Explorer 1 39mm
4. Rolex Airking 40mm
5. Rolex Milgauss (Z Blue)

I will rank the Milgauss higher if it is white dial which I'll probably rank that at 3.

I love that this thread has resurfaced after nearly 2 years. Looks like life for the Air King is still pretty grim... I don't disagree with many of these comments but it has made me think a bit.

The original question here asked us to rank 5 specific models. 3 of which, I own and 2, I do not (and probably never will). As I went through and ranked these, I thought to myself, why didn't I purchase them in this order??

Has anyone else gone through this thought process?


And of course, my ranking...

1. Submariner
2. Explorer II
3. Explorer 39mm
4.
5. Milgauss
6. Air king

Tough call between 1 and 2 for me at the top. The Exp II 40 is an amazing looking watch but the Exp 1 39's bracelet is so far superior.
