Which model line do you think currently and over the past, say, 10 years, sells the least?

mjm800 · 4 July 2011, 03:34 AM

Celini I would think. My AD says they don't move many of them a year.

Paracentesis · 4 July 2011, 03:37 AM

Sorry, excluding Cellini. Poll now up!

I would agree...otherwise from the ones listed I would say "Date" or "Air King"

I posted too soon.

I'll go Air-King.

Paracentesis · 4 July 2011, 03:40 AM

Blast! forgot the Explorer/ExpII. Damn.

Could a really clever Mod edit to add Exp? Maybe lump the Sub and SD together?

SaddleSC · 4 July 2011, 03:41 AM

Where is the Milgauss?

kareemthedream33 · 4 July 2011, 03:42 AM

An AD once told me that they sell very few Sub ND.

That's a good one for the list...the ND Sub is very under appreciated.

Speed · 4 July 2011, 03:58 AM

White Milgauss

Boothroyd · 4 July 2011, 03:58 AM

Rolex's website probably offers a good clue. Note the sports watches are listed on the right, with the Oyster Perpetual and Cellini lines relegated to the list on the lower left. So I expect that out of the million watches they produce a year, a minority are in that group.

Which begs the question--Could the Submariner be the line with the most unsold inventory, given that it is probably the largest production model in terms of units produced annually?

I agree. But, I most people do not think of Celini when they think Rolex. Therefore, I voted Air King

Done.....No room to add the Milgauss however!

LMP · 4 July 2011, 04:06 AM

Prince?

Gerardus · 4 July 2011, 04:33 AM

OP imho

Route 66 · 4 July 2011, 04:35 AM

My guess would be the Oyster Perpetual. I don't remember the last time someone here said they had one.

HL65 · 4 July 2011, 05:15 AM

Cellini IMHO

MoosicPa · 4 July 2011, 05:56 AM

I would guess the OP or Air King models. My AD doesn't seem to be able to shift them.

chiko323 · 4 July 2011, 05:58 AM

Unfortunately, it is probably the air king even though it is one of my personal favorites :-)

capote · 4 July 2011, 06:06 AM

I would say Air-King, seldom any threads about that watch

Tony G · 4 July 2011, 06:31 AM

I would think the datejust and any other Rolex smaller than 40mm

I think the datejust 36mm in it's many variations is likely the best selling Rolex in the lineup.

DJ is the fast mover in the Rolex range.

www777 · 4 July 2011, 06:55 AM

White milgauss

Puffy · 4 July 2011, 06:55 AM

i reckon AK... or White Milgauss... real sleepers those two..

AndersB · 4 July 2011, 07:09 AM

I like the old version of the Air-King a lot better than the current one. They should have kept it the way it was.

AndersB · 4 July 2011, 07:16 AM

Maybe the YM and the YMII should be separated in the poll. Same for Exp and ExpII. Very different when compared and also in terms of sales I'd guess.

z32turbo · 4 July 2011, 07:38 AM

My vote was for the date model b/c the smaller size I think most opt for the larger DJ.
