Do I own the two most hated Rolexes?
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? |

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

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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

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 |

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.

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? |

Yes. Everyone hates them. Pure hate. Hated. By all.
Not liked at all in any aspect, either. |

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

Everyone absolutely detested the Daytona for quite a while. Enjoy them.

5 years ago on this forum the Daytona was too small and was a ladies watch. Don't worry about what others think and set your own sense of style.

I love the SS YMII, I think I like even more because people dont like it.
Its a great complication watch and I love the blue bezel.

Did you buy the watches to please this forum and a bunch of people that you don't know? The only reason this matters is if you bought for the sole reason of selling later. All of the hot watches of today, were being sold at a discount to get rid of them a few years ago. Buy and wear what you like. I've heard of zero cases when someone walked up to a Rolex owner on the street and told them how undesirable their Rolex was.

This is a serious case of when the desirable becomes affordable and then the affordable becomes undesirable after being acquired. Deal with it mate.

I’d be happy to unburden you.
And no, they are not the least desired. |
