Daytona or any Maxicase.

I used to think I’ll never get a DJ,

But taste change and I’m on the lookout for one


I’ll never get airking or YM

[Sandpit]

Ceramic Daytona. Does nothing for me. I also assume that many conversations when wearing it would be solely focussed on the price paid and not its inherent qualities as a watch.

[just1time]

Daytona- I think its FUGLY
Airking- So Blah and boring
Explorer - Same reason as Airking
Oyster Perpetual - Same reason as Airking and Explorer
Yatchmaster 2 - Too Big
Any RoseGold Rolex - I think RoseGold is not for men
Any Rolex (or any watch for that matter) with Diamonds on it - Diamonds are for women
Any Rolex that doesn't sing to me regardless of amassed hype surrounding it
Any Rolex I can't buy with residual income

Been offered them on multiple occasions however just do not sing to me for some reason.

[Nairn1980]

Ym2, sd43 tt.

[doramas]

The Air-king and Yatch Master II seem to be the least desired by the forum

[Yachtbuoy]

I probably wouldn't buy a PM model other than a Cellini, but that's only because I prefer my watches to be steel. I like PM Rolex watches like the DD, but it's not specifically my thing at this point in my life.

[Stripiest]

Anything with a Cyclopsed date - it would irritate me. The current Air King, which just is incoherent in design to me. I like a lot of the Cellinis, actually, but have some concerns about finish compared to, say, a PP at a similar price. Nearly every ladies' model is horrible, but you can say that about most brands. Why is it seemingly so difficult for watch manufacturers to make a ladies' watch by some other method than putting a men's watch in the washing machine on the boil cycle? The Yachtmaster II isn't a favourite. If I got into yacht racing, it might be.

Seems like both YM, AK, and Daytona

[brandrea]

Probably vintage.

Although I can totally appreciate them and they’re beautiful, they just don’t suit me

[supernova]

Any one without a date, it's an absolute necessary function I need in my watches

Can I ask why genuinely?

I don’t have a great memory at all, in fact I’d say I have an awful short term memory, but I can easily look at the date in the morning once and remember it throughout the day.

Genuine question. I’ve just never understood people finding the date essential

[Joseph A]

Mmm that’s tough maybe the Air-king

Any champagne dial.

I see your point, and agree that I can easily memorize the date. However, it is just something I don’t think about until it is needed. When I need the date, I admittedly never know what it is and a quick glance to my watch is efficient.

I do enjoy the simplicity of a no date (and ease of setting). I enjoy both, but if I only owned a single watch, I’d much prefer it to have a date complication.

[Aberdein]

Day-Date and Date-Just have no appeal for me also anything with diamonds or other precious stones attached.

[GoingPlaces]

YM2, what's the point? Will one ever use these functions?

[Danny83]

Cellini

[j0hnny]

Nothing over 40mm
Any Milgauss, just don’t like em’
Any cyclops, just don’t like em’

Which is your least favorite Rolex in the lineup?

The new air king. It’s a explorer and cheesy

[samson66]

The latest Air King is just plain awful. That would be at the top of my "no" list, but there are several others as well.

Lol. No, I never had and never will buy anything over MSRP. I also do not have any interest in any of the 6 digit references so no plans to buy anything by Rolex at present.

Any two-tone model.. and anything over MSRP.

It's unusual, but very respectful of your opinion

I don't think consumers preferring Rolex Classic category watches is "unusual".
My guess is that Rolex worldwide annual sales is likely 70% Classic models vs 30% Professional/Sport models.
