Looking to purchase a Rolex watch? If so, you have probably already heard people ranting and raving about how beautiful they are and how classic they look with any ensemble. Most watch enthusiasts have their go-to pieces and often, these include the top models of a brand; however, the top models are not necessarily always the best choice for your needs. For example, the Rolex Submariner and Daytona are two of the most popular options but there are other underrated options that may be better suited for you. It is important to consider all options as you search for your next watch because after all, it is an investment.
One of the nice things about Rolex watches is that you can buy them new or even pre-owned. The pre-owned options are a nice choice for those who may not have the initial upfront investment for a newer model. The used watches are in great condition and have often undergone some type of Rolex watch restoration to ensure they function properly as they should.
Below, we will look at three of the underrated Rolex watches that typically fly solo and under the radar but are just as practical and luxurious as other Rolex options.
Rolex Milgauss
The Rolex Milgauss has been considered to be one of the least popular Rolex watches due to its bulky size. The face of the watch is 50mm and it sports a 13mm height. This is often just not sleek enough for some wearers, which has pushed it to the bottom of the list. While it may not be super popular, it is still an excellent option for someone who is not worried about the size. The watch itself is unique and comes with a green sapphire crystal that glows throughout the edges of the watch. It also sports an orange color to offset the green and comes with an anti-magnetic rating of 1,000 gausses.
Rolex Yacht-Master
A close look-alike to the Submariner, the Yacht-Master is often overlooked. This watch features a bold design and a case that is polished with rounder edges, and it is much more elegant than the traditional options. The bezel comes made from platinum while the bracelet has polished center links. The finish on the dial is called sunburst and the second hand of the watch has colorful accents. The watch itself is considered to be louder than other options with an elegant flair. The watch itself starts around the $16,000 mark, so it is a more expensive option. The color combos on this watch are what set it apart but not everyone fancies colors.
Rolex Sea-Dweller
This diving watch is a unique twist and sports a price point of about $15,000. The Sea-Dweller is a chosen model by some, but it is nowhere near as popular as other models such as the Submariner. In fact, this model looks like an upgrade from the Submariner with a more professional and sophisticated look. With that said, this option is much heavier. It measures about 43mm across and 15mm tall, so it is not for everyone. The watch does come with a water-resistant feature of up to 1,200 meters. It is an excellent option for divers and anyone who doesn’t mind a luxurious and professional-looking face with a bit of a robust body.
