I was wondering which Rolex is you’re least favorite / popular watch and why so?

Not including the diamond encrusted or super glitzy ones which are over the top for me.

nko51 · 27 February 2007, 02:29 AM

The Rolex Air King! A little to plain for my taste.

greenfan · 27 February 2007, 02:32 AM

The solid gold ones.......
Why? I think I´m too young to wear a golden watch

Ragu · 27 February 2007, 02:42 AM

greenfan,
I'm with you on the solid gold watch thing, I may be getting old yet not as old as JJ said he was.

Alex Stylianou · 27 February 2007, 03:11 AM

Air king

HK33 · 27 February 2007, 03:13 AM

I disagree on the all gold watch, if I could afford the all gold anniversary GMT that is what I would wear.

I know a lot of people disagree with me but I don’t like the Explorer II. It is mainly the bezel, I just don’t like it.

Totally Agree . It's not that I don't like the Explorer 2 but the Explorer 1 is more me.

Ragu · 27 February 2007, 03:53 AM

So, after posting this question I find out my daily wearer White Exp. II
is "not" so popular.

I still love it.

This one I like very much!

JJ Irani · 27 February 2007, 04:49 AM

The ones I'd never buy are the DATE models. Don't like them at all and find them too damn tiny.

JJ

President · 27 February 2007, 04:51 AM

Least favourite: OysterQuartz
Favourite: GMT-Master II MAXI

Blue Bull · 27 February 2007, 05:20 AM

The DATE models.

In the sport watch range,I prefer the Subs/Sea-Dweller/GMTs ,above the Explorer II.

Also,the DDs with ice on the hour markers and on the bezel is very nice,BUT,anything more, is overdone.

The DJs size ~ Such a pity they dont design a 40mm range ... A 40 mm DJ would have been very nice !

Airking,just for its 34mm size

Again a 40mm blue dialed Airking would have been awesome

slim · 27 February 2007, 07:29 AM

Airking or the explorer

BHE · 27 February 2007, 07:46 AM

date models!!

A. Jacobs · 27 February 2007, 09:44 AM

My least favorite, other than the ones with all the diamonds/gemstones, is anything with a white dial, like the Explorer II. Also, the Date models.
My favorites are the Subs and the Sea Dweller.

mrbieler · 27 February 2007, 09:57 AM

Since I can't say, "any Rolex with diamonds or gems", I'd say my least favorite is the Daytona.

I do like some of the pre-Tiger Tudor chronographs though.

My favorites are the 1675/16750 GMT's and 1680 Subs.

Subfiend · 27 February 2007, 10:26 AM

I hate the bling. However, I have to disagree with those of you who do not like the white dial Ex II. I absolutely love mine. I did not care for my black dial Ex II (my second Rolllie -- I won it in a raffle), but the white dial Ex II is by far the most readable of the bunch, and nobdoy notices it as a Rolex. It's the true "stealth Rolex."

Gaijin · 27 February 2007, 10:33 AM

You guys don't like the Air King!?

Alcan · 27 February 2007, 11:50 AM

The entry level Air King and the tiny Date.

oldbreadstinks · 27 February 2007, 03:28 PM

my fave would always be the TT DJ , personally i think all rolexes are ok to me(even the leopard daytona) unless you want me to wear them everyday

My sentiments entirely. The WD EXP II is so cool.

Blown Wide Open · 27 February 2007, 06:24 PM

1) Oyster Quartz

2)Black Explorer II

3) Blue and Salmon Dialed DJ

P.S. I have a guilty thing for Airkings and Dates....it helps that I'm 5'8"

Tombstone · 27 February 2007, 06:45 PM

explorer I need a date on my watches.

leopardprey · 27 February 2007, 07:05 PM

I will probably get flamed for this, but do not care for any of the TT models or anything with Diamonds on it. Don't care much for the all gold as well, too flashy for me, but looks good on others.

I like the good old Sport Models, airkings, dates, and date just in all stainless steel.

Incurable · 27 February 2007, 09:22 PM

WD Explorer II's... They just do nothing for me. Air Kings don't really get me too excited either. I don't dislike them, I just wouldn't buy...

WES · 27 February 2007, 10:08 PM

Least liked - LV Submariner, green bezel with black dial

if they were going to use green it should have been a darker royal green akin to the dark blue used on the TT SUB and both bezel and dial.

I love my White EXP II. Probably get more wrist time of all my watches. Diamonds, out, ladies watches should have diamonds, not mens.

And can someone explain this "I'm to young for gold" thing. I've seen this posted before, and I don't get it. If your in a restaurant, your 32 and you have on an 18K Blue Dialed Submariner do the people two tables over talk about you? "Do you see that young man over there with that gold watch? What is wrong with him? Don't look at him, he might see you and come over here

" How about TT, do you have to be middle aged? Bill

WES · 27 February 2007, 10:17 PM

I agree the White dial is very readable even when not wearing my reading glasses!

The few times co-workers asked what watch I wore they were surprised when I told them "Rolex".
They were again surprised when they found out the cost.

colemanitis · 27 February 2007, 11:07 PM

I'm not a fan of the Explorer. I LOVE the Air-King!

leopardprey · 28 February 2007, 12:06 AM

I am now starting to think I need a White Exp II.
