Hmm, tough question. I dislike the SDDS because it misses the point of a diver's watch, and lacks the usual elegance of Rolex. I dislike the current SS Sub/ Sub Date because I don't think it does the Submariner name justice. I dislike the SS Daytona because of the nonsense that surrounds it, and the fact it's near illegible. I dislike anything with diamonds on more than the dial that isn't a woman's watch, as it's depressingly vulgar. I don't think I could single any single one out for the title of least favourite Rolex.

That's not to say all of the above are popular or don't have a strong following, and I can see why. I just wouldn't want to own one of them myself

jackruff · 13 January 2013, 12:09 PM

Quite a lot of them really..... but that's why they make so many different models in so many different combinations..... A successful company knows that variety is the way to catch a wider audience!
To be honest there is probably only about 30 watches in the world I like... What's left is the millions I don't!!!

sdg1871 · 13 January 2013, 12:15 PM

YMII. No way. No how.

zion_rasta · 13 January 2013, 12:43 PM

Milgauss, everything else is tolerable.

With the new Parachrom srping, isn't the Milgauss obsolete/redundant? I have seen one person in real life wear one of those.

Shikar · 13 January 2013, 12:48 PM

The DSSD.
It's horrible and I love wearing my DSSD!!!

Regards.

afc1 · 13 January 2013, 12:53 PM

Milgauss has never done it for me.

I don't think that the Milgauss is obsolete because of the new hairspring.

Padi is fond of telling us that there are other parts of the movement that are negatively affected by magnetism.

I have to say that of all the analog chronographs in the world, the Daytona is probably my least favorite.

I would dearly love for Rolex to offer a redesign at Basel with some retro styling.

I'd have to agree any Sports Model with diamonds or rubies or green clovers...

andyboy39 · 13 January 2013, 01:42 PM

If I was forced to choose... Milgauss.

yonggoh · 13 January 2013, 01:48 PM

sky dweller just looks weird to me...

connorperson · 13 January 2013, 01:50 PM

definitely the Milgauss

VICI · 13 January 2013, 02:00 PM

Leopard Daytona followed by the YM II.

Solo118 · 13 January 2013, 02:23 PM

beaglehusky · 13 January 2013, 02:28 PM

Another (down)vote for the YM.

I've never been a fan of the Cellini line, but I can't even remember the last time I saw them on display.

I used not to like the Milgauss but I tried a white dial on and I though it looked nice.

Lastly, I just don't get the Skydweller.

All that been said, in my experience members of the TRF community behave like adults and therefore respect the fact that there are different opinions out there.

polarinda · 13 January 2013, 02:38 PM

2 tone datejust on jubulee with a gold face. There!

Rock · 13 January 2013, 02:52 PM

YM 2 - face is maybe a bit too busy and unbalanced and generally doesn't look like a Rolex.
Sky-Dweller - unbalanced, makes me want to 'centre' the sub-dial. Interesting concept however.
Daytonas - great looking 'sports-watch' face but bulky crowns detract.

crowncollection · 13 January 2013, 03:00 PM

Cellini range does nothing for me

GIS8 · 13 January 2013, 03:33 PM

Non ceramic daytonas, and YM II.

leica · 13 January 2013, 07:18 PM

Blanc mille gauss

Shade · 13 January 2013, 07:49 PM

The daytona with rainbow coloured diamonds on the bezel.

Or cellinis.

This Rolex line really doesn't get to me . . . don't know why . . .

The models don't 'flash' me . . .

But . . . that's just me :-)

The whole Tudor line. I just don't get it. If I want to save a few bucks I would buy one of them grand seikos.
