One thing you hate about your Rolex!

[Rad22]

Ok so I will start…. I love all my watches and really have a hard time picking my favorite. My most recent purchase is a GMT-II BLRO. I love this watch, it gets a lot of wrist time. But I wear all my watches and rotate. So it’s not uncommon for me not to wear a couple of my watches for a week or two at a time. Changing the date on the GMT is very annoying especially if it’s been about 2 weeks since it’s been running.

Either way this watch is a stunner and isn’t going anywhere!

No enough wrist time for some. More recently it's been hyperawareness of my surroundings given the climate of robberies for watches which has dramatically lowered the satisfaction of wearing one.

I'm with you on that one. I've resorted to keep it on a winder to alleviate that.

This, even if it gets the thread locked. It's a thing right now in big cities.

Not actually having one and also the lack of availability to get the one i want

[DJ2020]

The cyclops, some of the protruding case backs, non-curved lugs, lack of quality AR on the crystal, To large of clasp and the chromalite 3 minute lume. Oh, and service wait time.
There, I got it off my chest! All minor gripes.

[Kingranch]

I have a 116660 DSSD and cannot see the Renault due to the domed crystal.

Otherwise absolutely in love with it!

Now in small cities too!

[ridetime]

Its the cyclops for me. Reminds me of "Mad Eye Moody" every time I see one!

Of the 5 Rolex I currently own, the only things I dislike are the tin-foil clasp, and rattly-rattly hollow centre links of my 14060M. And since ceramic bezel inserts came along, I'm also not much of a fan of the anodised insert either. Basically the 14060M needs to go and I need to find a NOS 114060 instead.

Other than that I can genuinely say there is nothing about the other 4 that I dislike. Literally nothing!

I don't necessarily appreciate the thickness at times.
But it is what it is.
I can't complain overall as some initially mistake my DSSD for being a Sub with how it looks on my wrist.

This, x 3. I have started to give each a wind basically everyday now that I wear them less in rotation.

[Marcjvr]

That it’s a Rolex

[amh]

It's the stainless steel! Apparently we've run out. Gold is readily available however.

Funny that.
Not being able to see the Rolex Rolex Rolex engraving due to the thick Crystal is one of it's most endearing features of the watch and a big factor in why I bought it at the time.
Now my eyesight isn't quite what it used to be and it doesn't matter anymore

I'm with you. I rarely set the GMT time anymore since I don't travel out of time zones these days. I do set the date though.

Same here, kinda makes me need the cyclops, though. But the history of the SD line needs to stay true! So no cyclops for me.

[Ferrari308]

I don't like how the gold on my Daytona scratches so easily. Minor annoyance, but still a shock when I got my first scratch on it. (EEK!)

The bracelet on my 16610 Sub feels less solid than I would like.

My vintage OP has a 19mm strap and I can't find one that I like that is available in that size.

First world problems - right??

I agree that the gmt function of quick set hour hand is a bit off a pain in the @ss when seeing the date. The only negative beyond that for me is the heightened worry when wearing my watches in some parts of town/situations.

For me, it's definitely the lack of a standard, on the fly, mini micro-adjustment, similar to Tudor's new T-fit clasp, which can adjust five positions, up to 8mm.

The current, all or none, 5mm Easylink is just too much. I would love if my GMT or Explorer had that instead of Easylink.

[Wee-Willie]

The fact that I waited until I was 67 to get my new Day Date...I wonder how any years I have left to wear it...no complaints at all about the watch!

[thesharkfactor]

Polishing inbetween all the little jubilee links.

[brandrea]

I have wants more so than complaints, or maybe it’s both I’m not sure

I guess I’d like it if the professional references came equipped with a mini glidelock

If you really care there's probably a way to swap the clasp (Rolex never makes it very easy, you're on your own...)

If you’re referring to my earlier thread I would not say it’s not safe. You just need to stay vigilant.

Winding the dam thing all the time, or picking it up on a monday and it's not ticking.

I wish Rolex made a battery, or even better, a solar powered watch

[Cambo]

I thoroughly enjoy all of my Rolex watches. I switch them up often and yes, I have to rewind them and set the dates….part of the experience. I’m not really getting the gist of this.

[omar-rye]

My Datejust 41 and 116610 have short min hands…wish they reached the track but it is what it is

[bjdub]

I love everything about my LV sub, but I do wish the ceramic bezels weren’t so shiny. A matte or satin finish would be nice instead of the high gloss, but I know I’m in the minority and Rolex will never do that since most people like the shiny luxe look these days.

And where are you located, Sir?
