Ugliest watch in production, in your opinion?

you think the YM/YM2 look better?
I can hardly believe that you are lumping YM and YM2 together.
The YM2 is the biggest possible design accident in Rolex history, but some YM models are simply more elegant alternatives to the rather clumsy Submariner.
The Two-Tone-Explorer (which "explorer" wears a 36mm two-tone?) and the Airking (always a total design failure) are in a different league.

But to come back to the original question: My number one, just ahead of the YM2, is the AP Offshore "Black Panther" - it looks like a gimmick from a McDonald's children's meal bag. A complete disaster in terms of colour and of course with a silly tourbillon. The designer of this watch should be tarred and feathered.

How dare you sir. Jacques Cousteau will be round later in the Calypso to punch you in the aqualungs.

Rolex Explorer closely followed by the Air King
Oh yes, very good callouts. Although I'd argue they're not actually ugly per se, but definitely guilty of being offensively bland.

Pretty sure that Invicta have the ugliest watches known to humanity. They’ve made some real monsters.

Goes to show you that some people just come here to troll.

The good gentleman can't defend himself as he is no longer with us (😂), so I won't further elaborate, but just this much: Even as an outspoken Non-Rolex dude, I nevertheless know that the two designs aren't even remotely comparable.

The Breitling Exospace, designed by a committee
Actually by a foolish design lead. His direction was 'could be worn by the pilot of an F-16 or Air Wolf'. True story.

He didn't realise that no one watches that anymore - even in the 90's, unless they are unemployed and its on some cheap cable channel.

God tier 80's title theme though.

Anyway.
