Most under-appreciated/under-rated Rolex
What would people consider the most under-appreciated or under-rated Current generation Rolex watch? I was thinking maybe the Rolex Explorer II 216570 has a date and GMT-function.

I’m gonna piggy back on this one. A lot of praise is giving to sports models. However the new DJs are some of my favorite in the lineup.

Yachtmaster for me. I have an AK and feel like it and the Milgauss have enough of a following to get ahead of the Yachtmaster. The YM are the only sports models I see consistently hit the case at my AD where I’m like “really? There wasn’t a phone call you could make to sell that beauty?!” Just waiting for the anniversary green dial to get my own!

Don’t think there are any under appreciated steel models, they all sell well. Some of the gold and two tone models aren’t that popular, especially women’s models but that’s no surprise

If you truly want under appreciated, oyster perpetual models for sure. I have the 39 blue dial and I love it. Don’t see much of it in the wild either which makes it extra special

One of my favourites is my black dial Milgauss GV.

Disliked by some for the lightening hand and no cyclops?

Is it underrated?

You see even in my circle of watch friends people would say they don’t have much love for the YM yet it’s in my top 3 of all time, splits opinions which makes it a fun watch for me!

Oh mai... that blue is really really really tempting...I'm currently the proud owner of a TT black YM and I'm waiting for my ad to call me for my rhodium or blue YM...
