  2. NOTE: This is written tongue-in-cheek and shouldn't be taken dead seriously. I was bored and just typed in some humorous rant. If your watch is on the list, don't take it personally. It's kinda "attempted satire", based only on my subjective opinions. Feel free to disagree. So here we go... MOST EMBARRASSING ROLEXES EVER: 1. Yacht-Master II This looks like a Canal Street piece of shit. The designer must have been on some heavy drugs. Completely tasteless, gaudy and plain fuck*ng ugly POS. The designer of this watch should be jailed. This is a crime against humanity and Kim Jong-Un has shot people for lesser crimes. Invicta is one of the most embarrassing marquees and even they couldn't have put out watch this ugly. They're asking what... $20K for this? 2. Yacht-Master two-tone with brown bezel Honestly... this one looks LITERALLY like a piece of dog turd. 3. Hulk GREEN dialed Submariner! It's not even that "ugly" per se... but has quickly become the ultimate douchebag Rolex. Idiots in the local gen watch community (that I frequent) has a lot of Hulk buyers. They pose with their tuned up Beemers and post wrist shots of Hulk. They don't usually know anything about watches... or even Rolexes for that matter... but they bought the Hulk because it says Rolex on the dial, they want to show that they have money and their golf friends have them too. They call them "Hulksters". Wimps! 4. Batman How can you f*ck up GMT Master any worse? First install ugly fat case, then polish the middle links and then attach blue and black bezel... destroying all great decades old traditions of this watch. It's Pepsi and it should NOT have anything polished. The standard new black GMT already bored me to death but "Batman" is even worse. And what a ridiculous nickname... "Batman". Jokers! 5. Any classic sports Rolex with diamonds It's like getting a very expensive, restored classic Mercedes SL Pagoda or Jag E-Type and then install spoiler kit on them... and then paint 'em pink. Even Liberace knew better and would have stayed away from these. 6. Yacht-Master I had the Rolesium rep and I wore the gen for a few days (swapped watches with a friend). I can live with the Rolesium as it's the least unattractive of them. But my God how plain awful combinations there are. Anything two-tone is usually just horrendous. YM is just Submariner with tasteless bling. Why do they call it "Yacht Master"? Because fat, old, rich guys with no taste can wear these on their yachts and impress the hookers. 7. Leopard Daytona Neil always called it "Gaytona". Enough said. 8. DeepSea I have no doubt that it's a good and capable dive watch but my God it's UGLY as sin. Small children should not see this watch as it's so painfully ugly. 9. Sky-Dweller Yeah it can set the month date correct automatically. Great! Just like my Casio. What this has to do with Dwelling in the sky? What a pretentious watch. What next? Cave Dweller, Fire Dweller, Lake Dweller, Ass Dweller? 10. Daytona (post El Primero) Daytona doesn't really deserve to be on this list because I respect the movement and quality. It's a good watch no doubt. But it's also the most overhyped watch ever. I had the rep and one of my good friends has white gen. I see it almost weekly. If you have a bit larger wrist, try wearing Ebel BTR, any Breitling chrono or even PO Chrono and then put Daytona on. You'll be seriously underwhelmed. The dial is pale, plain, it wears extremely small and looks very old fashioned (in a boring way). That smooth bezel and relatively huge pushers make it feel even smaller. Not an ugly watch and I respect it... but it just bores me to death. Flame on (ducks for cover).
