Please give me your take on this guys, did I really end up with the 2 most undesirable Rolexes? The two timepieces I'm referring to are:
1- Day Date II (218238). I wanted this one only coz it came in YG with the mat black dial and gold roman numerals.
2- Yacht Master II all steel.
What do you guys think?

I tried posting pics but didnt work. kinda new to this forum. Ill try to figure it out :)

If you wanted them, they are desirable. What others think is irrelevant.

Exactly unless the original poster thinks he might have a inferiority watch complex.

I quite like the Day Date 2. If I were you I’d just think of it as a bit more ‘select’ and sporty proportioned than a DD40. It’s definitely an interesting watch that I’d be pleased to wear any day.

YM2 is an awesome movement and captivating watch. The zeitgeist amongst forum dwellers is currently against it but that doesn’t really matter too much in the real world.

I’d be happy with those two.

Man...both of those watches rock...what you talking about.

Sublovin · 12 November 2019, 02:38 AM

Maybe, but so what

joli160 · 12 November 2019, 02:39 AM

No, great references and you don’t see them a lot in the wild

schoolboy · 12 November 2019, 02:44 AM

Post pictures so we can see them!

I feel like any DD is super cool, and the Yachtmaster ii, that one is nice too, and you hardly ever see one out on the wild.

I know there is a picture of Luke Combs (country star) wearing a gold Yachtmaster ii

Pretty cool

Plus, there was once a time when Daytona’s were really undesirable, and ADs couldn’t get rid of them

Look at the Daytona now

But what you like and will wear, not what others like

pickettt · 12 November 2019, 11:51 AM

I tried to guess which two you had before looking. Since I was wrong, you must be doing alright. Buy what you like.

Jona · 12 November 2019, 02:47 AM

There was (and still may be) a surplus of pork bellies, so the pork producers or their marketing arm created a demand for bacon. Witness the Daytona.

You might be right. Luckily I’m not a huge Daytona fan

NoVaSubowner · 12 November 2019, 02:47 AM

If you like them. What do you care?

Btw. If half the forum took the time to read about the YM2, rather than rush to snap judgement, they would realize the watch is actually a tool watch designed by Rolex for a specific purpose and it is actually an impressive mechanical achievement.

A watch is a personal item. If you like it. Why should you be concerned about what anyone else on this forum thinks?

And yet, for a good percentage of the new posters here - the opinions of perfect strangers are important...can't tell you why.

That makes two of us lol and probably other guys too that saw the weird/creepy comment :)

Bizcut1 · 12 November 2019, 02:49 AM

Yes. Everyone hates them. Pure hate. Hated. By all.

Not liked at all in any aspect, either.

amh · 12 November 2019, 02:53 AM

You're fine. The Milgauss and the new Airking are the bottom of the barrel.

Oh just remembered. I own a Modern Air king .. superb every day wearing watch

Funny to read the milgauss comment. I have a friend who is a very good attorney, he’s not a showy guy at all, recent bought himself a Milgauss so I tend to think of this watch as somewhat of a sophisticated and intelligent purchase?!

The AirKing doesn’t get a lot of love, but the Milgauss???? Not sure about that...
