Not to disparage those of you who own a Daytona, but I'm not crazy about them, either. I'd rather have a 116613LB any day.

Wesley Crusher · 3 August 2014, 03:29 AM

I am not a big fan of the Sky-Dweller or the YMII. The dials are just a little bit too busy for me.

samsam · 3 August 2014, 03:44 AM

-Daytona (except ceramics and plat.)
-YM: don't like the plat bezel
- DSSD

FTX I · 3 August 2014, 03:45 AM

Any non Sub.

1watchaholic · 3 August 2014, 03:50 AM

Milgauss of the traditional models. There are some jeweled models that are just gaudy!

submariner123 · 3 August 2014, 04:00 AM

Yachtmaster, Yachtmaster II and white Explorer II. The hands on the white Explorer II look really ugly imo. I also dislike two-tone.

Really, it matters to you? Run a search of 'lightening bolt' on this forum, that is used with some regularity. Even in thread titles, as member 'ESM' did, and that 'Newbie' has over 15,000 posts since 2008. Urgh...Curmudgeons.

The small ladies models. They just look ridiculous on my large hairy arms.

Castor · 3 August 2014, 08:46 AM

Skydweller, Yachtmaster II, Daytona, & Milguass are my least favourite... in that order.

BLNR GMT...really don't like it

Rolex40mm · 3 August 2014, 10:19 AM

Anything two tone gets on my nerve. Also anything over 40mm is for WWF wrestlers.

mutee · 3 August 2014, 11:14 AM

It's Daytona

A little waxing will fix that right up lol

It actually looks less ridiculous than pictures of people wearing 44-48 mm watches where the lugs extend past their wrist bones

DSSD

Too bulky and too much "advertising" on the dial.

Like you said, it's the bolt that ruins an otherwise decent design.
However, I'll go out on a limb and say i'm not a fan of the bigger is better, especially in the DJ2.

Holy crap, aint that the truth!

airchitect · 3 August 2014, 09:43 PM

From greatest to least distain...... Cellini, practically anything without a date, Practically anything under 40mm, jubilee anything, and now for more specifics....... Airking/exp i, ym of any type, daytona, and actually the sub ( what? Thats blasphemy!). Sorry, to me the sub and dj are the camry and accord of the lineup. So, many people have them and i will never understand why.

Old Expat Beast · 3 August 2014, 09:47 PM

If you look at the lightning bolt hand on the 1950s Milgauss, the modern one makes more sense. I like it.

I thank this forum and the enthusiasts here for changing my view on the Milgauss. I used to hate the sweep hand and now I can't say I like it but I respect it.

jshepard · 4 August 2014, 02:47 AM

Yachtmaster... Specifically any yachtmaster without the regatta chronograph function. Seems like a redundant sub minus the contrasting bezel color making it less legible to use when compared to a sub.

Ferdelious · 4 August 2014, 06:18 AM

Any 2 tone jubilee, just not my style

iclick · 4 August 2014, 06:19 AM

I'm not into watches that attract too much attention, including anything in yellow or rose gold, diamonds on a mens watch, or the YMII. With the exception of some vintage models (e.g., Daytona), non-Oyster and non-Perpetual are of little interest to me either.

elcompa · 4 August 2014, 06:52 AM

I have to say that my least favourites are.....tied for last place:

YM ll and the Skydweller.

To me the they seem overdone, off balance and gaudy. JMHO and no offence to anyone who has them. Just personal choice.
