SkyDweller & DSSD - too big for my wrist
Cellini - too dressy

The rest I can see myself wearing/owning them at some point.

I know im going to get blasted for this but....

ANY MODERN DAYTONA.....

Only dig vintage models with OUT crown guards. Don't know what it is...I just do not like the design at all. I believe the last model Daytona without crown guards was around late 80's...'87-'88?? Someone correct me on that..I'm with you on the YM2 also...don't dig it either...the new AK...dial is a bit much...other than those 2 I like most Rolex models...and though i'm not a fan of two tone models on me....I do like the look of two tone.

Yes, you have a point, but the YM II really hurts...

Cannot say never but I'm not fan of full precious metal watches, 41mm diameter or more and any model with diamonds!

Based on past and current collections, I'd probably never get a Cellini. A great watch but just not my style.

Seems that I'm not a minority with my below no-buy list (for now):

-Cellini - just not my cup of tea
-yatchmaster II - too busy, don't need the features, don't like the looks
-daytona - 3 obtrusive crown/pushers, way too busy, too gaudy and never understood the craze.
-deep sea - this is bigger than some of my wall clocks. Too gaudy on the wrist without a wetsuit.
-anything with gems on the dial.

I have learned to never eliminate watches from consideration prior to trying them on. Certainly the price eliminates many models for me as I won't spend 5 figures on a watch. 36mm and below look a little small on my wrist.

That leaves DJII's, new 41mm DJ's and a good selection in the Professional line as options. Have an Explorer, DJII and a Tudor BB. I buy new, not pre-owned, so those are also eliminated.

a highly radioactive 'vintage' GMT or Submariner...regardless of what the Antique Roadshow pundits say they're worth.

Just the Milgauss for me...especially the white dial. I dislike it to the extent that I had to scroll up just to see how to spell it.

Not much love for either YM. My blue dial 116622 is my current favorite.
