There are many Rolex models (maybe most?) that I wouldn’t enjoy wearing or owning, but I can still appreciate (like the Daytona, the ExpII, and the AK), but the ones I find repulsive are the YMII and any watch with an iced out dial and/or bracelet. And I simply refuse to count the Deepsea Challenge as a wristwatch.

Surprised all the hate on Daytonas. For those that wouldn’t be caught dead with one, what’s the reasoning, if you don’t mind me asking?

For me, now that they fixed the SS asymmetry issue on the lugs, I think it’s a quite stunning piece.

To me it’s too small , illegible, screw down pushers are dumb , the subdials look fake and doesn’t have a date .

Sub C 114060 - pfffffffft.

This is one of the most iconic of all time, especially the 114060 with no date.

None. They should be willed away, not buried with the dust.

"wouldn't be seen dead in?" A bit harsh.
But honestly I would not own many rolex models. Way too numerous to list.
