Aside from the obvious disgusting animal-type print dial models Rolex throw out there... I would say that in terms of the 'typical' Rolex that I least like it would have to be the Explorer 2.

Only the dssd because i think it is too large.
Got to say i dont like the squarish lugs of the sub, but the green colour of the hulk is amazing.

Milgauss is not horrible. I love this watch. It suits my style and my taste and my profession.

I like this statement! This is one reason I use when I purchase a watch, specially a Rollie. Can I use it for work and still look professional? Great point!

I'm a mechanical engineer, I work as researcher in the field of energy. Recently, I've been at several international organizations where meetings felt more like a Rolex convention or reunion (with most people wearing gold DD or tt sub)... my Milgauss was beautiful and unique.

I am a male but I never liked the 26mm size womens DJ.
The 31mm is much better for women that dont want to wear men's sizes.

Interesting to see the Yachtmaster take some hits. Saw one the other day at an AD, really liked it. The platinum bezel and blue dial - it popped! The YII ? Not so much.

For me, the Daytona, leapord or not, simply has no appeal whatsoever.

I personally don't like the Milgauss collection at all. It's that thunder-bolt-like seconds hand.

The reason it's not such a good idea, is because we're talking about our least favorite when others of our group might actually happen to own these versions.
I agree...bit negative!

But I do find it unfortunate that some use words such as "hideous" and "makes me want to vomit". I feel bad for anyone who owns those models, the same way I'd feel if I witnessed someone tell a stranger that her hair was hideous.



I agree with this.
I agree with you...a thread with so many "i hate's" and other negative subjective and in some cases unpleasant remarks lead to a uneasy read...next time I suggest (if its market research you were after) set ground rules such as "Just state whatever model you don't like - no need to go into rubbishing it just because you don't like it". We could then be spared the comments like "makes me want to vomit".

I feel no pain that everyone is trashing the Milgauss. I have the black face without GV. I actually find the GV version unattractive, but like the Milgauss because it is unassuming. It is very non-Rolex and that is a good thing for me, which I understand may not be for others. Perfect for a daily beater.

I have a 44mm RG Novelty AP if I want my watch to be seen and noticed.

Surprised to see the amount of Daytona hate going on in here.
I won't say I that I hate the HULK, but I will say that I like the 16610LV a lot more.

Least favorite has to be men's watches with diamonds.

I have zero interest in ever owning a Yacht Master II. I respect it's popularity but never personally have any desire to own one.

I dislike the Sky Dweller because there is no chance in this lifetime I ever own one due to it's price, unless I figure out how to drive it or live in it.

I don't like the Rolexe's which are colored in stupid colors and bright textures..they are too elegant to manufacture such bright colors.
