One thing you hate about your Rolex!

[springer]

Too

[dgr8dude]

Bought the 39mm OP (114300) in white so me and my wife can take turns in wearing it, but since my wife has a smaller wrists, adjusting the bracelet size when its my turn is such a pain. This is why I love my sub, the glidelock is very useful. I just hope the OP 39 has the 5mm easy adjustment like the Explorers.

Hype - not a fan.

I don't have complaints on the watches themselves. I do however hate the current environment at ADs with games, waitlists, empty showcases, display pieces, etc. I also hate the secondary Gray market with flippers and market manipulation. This has actually led me to explore and purchase other brands. I will always love and appreciate my Rolexes, but my current mindset is I have moved on to greener pastures!

Oh where do I start,
- worried about being assaulted and robbed
- spending hours and hours on this forum =p
- playing the AD game
- but as far as the watch themselves, the only real complain I have is that 2 of my watches, when you wind them, especially one it's been fully wound and you keep winding, it makes this awful noise like metal grinding. Sometimes it goes away on its own, some times it stays for a while. It doesn't scream luxury. Closest real time analogy is when I had my C7 Z51 Stingray and whenever I come to a stop light the brakes make this noise like a 90s truck just rolled to a stop LOL

No “hate” at all, but would like t9o be able to replace the rubber bracelet of my 116519 for a full white gold original Rolex bracelet. Having said that, I love that watch the most….

Thieves recognize them immediately.

On a cold day my wrist shrinks and the watch becomes too big. 42mm is a good hot weather watch for my skinny 16cm wrist.

[S’portEye]

Hate is strong, but the clasp on my 124060 is pretty big.

Look at it and it's scratched.

Ya, great for corrosion, not great for scratches. It never ceases to amaze me how many scratches i can put on a watch without doing an once of manual labor ever.

Not sure if it's been brought up already but my DJ 126200 is nearly perfect save for the lume - maybe it's my moderate colorblindness (seeing more greens than blue) but I find it pretty pathetic. It's dim and the little amount in the hands make it almost useless. Here I thought my BB58 had bad lume but comparatively it's fantastic!

I could get on board with this

My BLRO - nothing, my SD43 - the bezel has a backplay issue, it clicks slightly past the intended location, so you have to rotate it backwards to get it to align properly. It was serviced for not running within spec and they didn't fix the bezel issue.

[tekops]

scratches and wish they had a titanium option

[thenewrick]

Lack of customization with non style things like clasp type. I greatly prefer the classic one snap of the classic clasp to the professional series double fold clasp. I'd probably remove easylink also because I don't use it much.

[Calatrava r]

More white dial options on the sports line.

[Filipão]

I love them old.
I love them new.
I love 4 digits.
I love 5 digits.
I love aluminium (aluminum) inserts.
I love 36mm.
I love 39mm.
I love 40mm.

[giskard]

I wish my Pepsi had glidelock, like my sub. I could do with the extra fine adjustment.

Agreed. I can’t seem to avoid dinging my lugs. Thankfully the more marks they pick up the less I notice/care. Plus Rolex can make like new during service and life is short; good reasons not to dwell on dings and just wear the watches.

I will ding a lug inside of 30 days guaranteed. After 6 months or so i never notice.

Hype and the great unwashed wearing them.

But also the steel Datejust, GMT Master and Daytona should have an open caseback for the price. It’s really weird when you think about it and compare it to basically any other brand.

But then some would complain about spending so much money on a gold watch without a gold case back.

My Sub had the same issue. RSC can fix it on the spot if you have one locally

[fmc000]

I never wear my DateJust because at 36mm it's too small for my taste nowadays, not to mention that I find hard to read the time on it. I believe it never left the bank safe in the past 5-6 years.

[REQUIEMnJADED4U]

Hate is a strong sentiment but outside of the obvious, I wish all models had a glidelock clasp for easy adjustments and that PCL's didn't get scratched by just starring at them too long.

…the watches are fine but I wish they would do away with the green boxes and just provide the clear plastic ‘coffin’ cases.

[Mabak]

It does not get enough wrist time, and inability to buy as much as you want and at the time you want them.

This, plus the obnoxious Rolex "enthusiasts" who are not into watches at all but use the brand as a social status symbol.

[Slimpee]

I don’t like that the logo on the crown doesn’t like up at the 12 o’clock position.
