Which Rolex do you hate

The title says it, post the one Rolex you can’t stand. :)

I can’t stand this one, and basically all yacht masters

Hate is a strong word. There’s no watch I hate.

Air King. I just can’t stand the dial on current version; it’s just so all over the place and inconsistent. Is it a pilot watch? Or is it supposed to look like a flight instrument? Or something else? Such a departure from the classic.

I would say hate is too strong a word, but I can’t say I am keen on the Pearlmaster; however I am sure it keeps decent enough time.

None. All have their merits and fans who appreciate them

Not a fan of the new Air King. Love the old ones, however. Anything with "Precision" on the dial.

Not a fan at all of the YMII. Pretty close to butt ugly in my opinion. I would take one if you gave it too me, but I doubt i would wear it much if any. I can't say that about any other model.

Never liked the DJII or DDII. Proportions were all wrong but this was corrected I feel in the DJ41 and DD40.

No love for any Pearlmaster.

So maybe just not buy one and then get on with your life?

Hey hey it’s just personal opinions.
Hell I don’t get mad when people call my sky dweller a large DJ.
No need to be a snow flake, just tell what you like the least of the line up.

Cellinis and pearl masters is cheating.

I don’t hate any.
What’s the purpose of a topic like this newbie?? It’s not a direction that TRF likes to start threads on and usually get locked up.

I generally dislike two-tone, and I loathe the TT Daytonas. To me, they look like they are clumsily cobbled together.

Purpose is to have some fun discussions over the weekend.

Or no hold on it’s to de value your favorite watch so I can buy it cheaper..

Matte dial watches in general. Some of the worst ones for me are very loved around here. The Daytona variants in matte bug the sht out of me for example. They usually just don't cohesively play well with the shiny surroundings. (YM rose gold gets a pass due to the matte bezel making design sense).

These 2 are super hard to love for me as well, and also basically anything on a oysterflex.

I used to hate this one, but now I actually think it would be fun to own one, mostly as a joke.

Some things just look good, even if it's not a favorite. Rolex always looks good. But that doesn't mean I'm in love with all of them. Never cared for the Explorer I, but thirsted for a 16570 Polar, and bought one right when the new 216570 came out. The 16570 Polar is still my favorite watch.

Any Rolex men's watch "Iced Out". Just don't like diamonds on a man's watch. However, just MHO.
