Which Rolex do you DISLIKE the most?

I am a big fan of the Submariner and the Daytona. I seriously doubt I would ever buy a Milgauss just because they look so plain jane to me. Which Rolex is your least favorite or one that you simply don't get the hype about? Another one I doubt ill ever be buying would be a GMT 2 (Yes not even the legendary Batman lol). I have seen some women's models that might as well say Ed Hardy on them based on the funky designs.

I know this will be unpopular but for me probably the Explorer, simply because it's really just an OP with a fancy name to it. It just seems to be made out to be more than it is. That being said I love all Rolex models and I would still be stoked to own an Explorer just like I would for any other model.

Actually, I take that back. Definitely the Air King for this same exact reason. It never made sense to me why a 34mm Oyster Perpetual was made to sound like its own watch. At least now it's simply the 34mm OP without the Air King name attached to it.

It would probably be the Cellini. It's elegance but just doesn't cut it for me... Sorry.

I think I wouldn't buy a milgauss... No dislikes, but it is on the last position on my list.

One of the main reasons I bought my Milgauss GV was because of the plain bezel with no markings, the fact that it had no date and except for when I visit our leader in Melbourne I haven't seen another outside of an AD.

One of the nicest models that Rolex have made.

Can't say that there's anything I find so objectionable with a crown that I wouldn't wear it.

I'll take a pull. I like them all as well. Not crazy about some of the more exotic looking dials.

The one I dislike the most?

I pretty much like them all. Some I would not buy, "Leopard Daytona" but still can appreciate it.

This. But if I had to pick I would say Daytona or YM2. Just do not "need" the complications and the lack of a date turns me off.

Well, gather up all the Rolex watches you don't like and feel free to send them to me. I'll make sure they're taken care of... :)

Here's how it usually goes:
1)OP posts this thread.
2)Inevitable posting of the Leopard Daytona along with some disparaging remarks about the watch and anyone who might own it.
3)A very nice, long-time and friendly member posts his Leopard Daytona.
4)Padi eventually gets fed up and the thread is locked.

I don't know if it's so much that I dislike any particular model, but the one that I would probably never purchase would be an Air King. Additionally, I am not a fan of the larger, bulkier Subs and GMTs when compared to the previous models. The case size just doesn't do it for me.

Should not use "dislike", Instead use "will not buy"

None disliked and all are nice; I do think I likely wouldn't wear a lady's watch however.

For the Love of ???

Well, well well... I like all Rolex models but I wouldn't necessarily buy or wear all of them!!!
That said, I do prefer most of the sport models more so and I would be inclined to wear a day/date or even a president !!!! So let's do some math ... Lol
everyone ...

Currently wear a 2015 TT Blue Sunburst Sub-C

I'm upset about the new Day Date 40. Since even after flipping a kidney, one of my eyeballs, a leg and arm or two I still won't be able to afford one. :(
