Bought My Grail Watch ‼️ Everything You Need To Know About The Rolex Yacht-Master 268622

[@davidbrown9947]

Bought one two weeks ago, it is incredible. Seeing is believing.

[@Sophies-watch-world]

Absolutely 💯! Huge congratulations 🥂

[@nonodesormiou]

It's also one of the most beautiful for my taste. This watch cannot be resold.

[@Sophies-watch-world]

Absolutely. Definitely wouldn’t resell it ❤️

[@yomtov1]

This is so cool to hear that you found this amazing grail. Love how much you love it ❤ Congratulations again 🎉

[@Sophies-watch-world]

Thanks so much!

[@Trapvision3D]

That's so awesome that you found your grail. It sucks that someone broke in your home, but thankfully you guys weren't hurt.

[@Sophies-watch-world]

Thanks so much for your kind words ❤️

[@Mark..P]

Congratulations Sophie. Stunning watch. Sorry to hear that it came about under such circumstances, but it will be marking a great memory with your wedding anniversary. Let’s hope your husband gets one as well 😁

[@Sophies-watch-world]

Thank you Mark. So kind of you to say. I think eventually he will get one. He keeps eyeing mine up 😂…keep moving hubs 😂

[@FullyLumed]

Lovely watch Sophie! The rhodium YM is a stunner and in my opinion, one of the best looking watches Rolex make. Congrats! Keep up the great work!

[@Sophies-watch-world]

Same here! Thank you so much! ☺️

[@FullyLumed]

@@Sophies-watch-world I working on a podcast idea at the minute for newer watch channels like ours. It's still in the early stages of planning, but i'd love to get you on it one day, once ive added some meat to the bones of the idea!

Yowza! Huge congrats, Sophie. What an amazing NWA and fits you so well.

[@Sophies-watch-world]

Thanks Ian. It’s so stunning. 🤩

[@prolo1711]

I have this in the two tone. As a guy with a smaller wrist (

[@perfectwrist23]

Such a good choice! Perfect for every occasion. Love the flashes of colour and use of Platinum

[@Sophies-watch-world]

Yes! The blue touches just add the fun. Such a beautifully thought through design ❤️

[@shawnmartin1306]

I have the blue dial 40mm. I prefer Yacht Master over the sub for sure. Beautiful watch

[@Sophies-watch-world]

Oh gorgeous! We love what we love. It just feels more me. I’m sure you feel the same ❤️

I'm glad that you and your husband are safe, watches can be replaced and you picked a winner! Cheers❤🎉

Thank you and you are so right ❤️

[@mb9472]

Hi Sophie what do you think of the Rolex blue floral dial 31mm D/D?

[@Sophies-watch-world]

It’s a beauty for sure!

[@mb9472]

I've been with my other half for about 10 years. Over this period of time she has slowly understood my passion for watches and together we bought her a 31mm OP. Since then we have had my 37mm YM sized to her wrist and last November she put her name up for the floral dial in SS with the jubilee bracelet. We picked it up last week and her face was a picture. She definitely caught the bug but says she's done now. I've bought her lots of vintage seiko dive watches over the years ( any excuse to buy a all original vintage seiko)which she wears but the one she wears the most is her little casio, from their vintage range I bought her. All the best Sophie X

[@ayk42]

Congratulations and so sorry for the tragic incident! Beautiful watch! I am looking to purchase the same Rhodium dial in the next year or so. How long was the wait for the Rhodium dial?

[@Sophies-watch-world]

Thank you so much!As I mentioned in the video got it straight away from the Ad. But not sure if that was just luck.

[@btmontres1423]

[@Sophies-watch-world]

Oh wow congratulations on 25 years! Thank you so much, it was a horrible time, but life moves on. This Rolex definitely softened the blow ❤️

[@RetroPlus]

Immaculate taste, this is exactly what i would go with too. I love a stainless steel bezel.

[@Sophies-watch-world]

Thank you! Stainless steel bezels are cool!

[@samadrid6321]

I bought the blue dial version in 2016. Quickly fell out of love for it traded it and a Seamaster Omega for a Daytona. The Daytona I traded was right before the sale of the Paul Newman. The receipt for the trade shows the Daytona was priced at $8500. The two watches I had for trade I paid total of $17,300. I sole the Daytona last year for $15,500. I don't miss any of those watches. I have a 2002 Sea Dweller and a 2022 Planet Ocean. They fit my life, taste and style the best.

[@Sophies-watch-world]

Love that journey for you. I don’t buy watches to sell or trade. I just love what I love. I won’t be selling my YM.

[@beetlefang]

Pretty girl, pretty watch...easy to like and subscribe and ring the bell. Congrats on your upcoming 10th anniversary!

[@Sophies-watch-world]

Thank you! ☺️

[@2GoodLookin]

Yes the Yacht-Master is very under-rated. I actually put the two tone chocolate dial on my list. Thanks for the nice video.

[@Sophies-watch-world]

Oooh gorgeous! Thanks so much! ❤️

[@johanvandersandt8904]

Wow that is a nice Rolex! Sorry to hear about the break in. Those always suck. This seems like a really appropriate piece! Happy ten year anniversary! I think it looks great! Given what I have seen from your collection so far I am very loving your style! The Formex, Cartier and this are all pieces that not typically considered woman's pieces but you pull them off very well! That being said my female friends dont prefer dainty little watches either. Have a fantastic weekend Sophie!

[@Sophies-watch-world]

Thank you so much for saying that! I think the most important thing is if you love it then that’s good enough! I love dainty watches too, but love to mix things up. The YM is perfect as it sits so perfectly on my wrist, but still feels sporty. Love it!

[@johanvandersandt8904]

[@LeoVinteler]

Hi Sophie, Leo here from IG. I wear an Explorer 36 as a daily and absolutely love the size. I spent some time with the 40mm variant of yours and loved it, it was bit big for my taste so the 37 is just perfect🤌. Looks great on you also. I recently acquired a lovely 36.5 Grand Seiko that is out of this world finished, and another great choice for those of us who don’t want a 40mm watch. Highly recommend as an option for smaller wrists. Cheers to you and this gorgeous piece you got🙋🏻‍♂️

[@Sophies-watch-world]

Hi Leo! Thanks so much for your insight. I agree the size is just perfect for smaller wrists and those who live a more vintage aesthetic. I can’t stress enough how much I longed for this piece. It’s so crazy that she’s mine and couldn’t be happier. That GS sounds amazing. I’ll have to check it out 👀 ❤️

[@123frostyice]

What is your wrist size sir ? I have a roughly 6.5 in wrist do you think that would be a perfect fit or the 40mm

[@therubyhour]

Stunning YM Sophie congrats!!!❤

[@Sophies-watch-world]

Thanks Myra ❤️ it’s definitely love with this one

[@Stricko72]

Congratulations on your grail, looks super awesome. Shame it had to come out of such a bad experience, but at least someone good has come out of it. Your right about the industry not serving as well the ladies, did a little research and had a look at longines. Bit suprised actually, quite a few sporty watches even though 50% had 'overbling' on them. Love seeing prople get their grails, now you go get out there and enjoy your new Roley. Thanks Sophie.

[@Sophies-watch-world]

Yes Longines have some lovely offerings and I always recommend to friends looking at an entry level piece, same for Nomos. But I think the options reduce right down when reaching over 3k mark for women. It’s like they shove diamonds on just to get it to be more expensive and that annoys me, rather than producing a brilliant design and movement. Anyway I’m hoping things are changing! ❤️

[@DESCENDINGDR]

Your dial used to be call the 'Rhodium' dial years ago. I got the same watch in the 40 mm version about 4 years ago. That dial has been call the 'Slate' dial for about 3-4 years now. Not sure why people are stuck with the old name. Even some employees of Rolex ADs don't know about this name change... Weird.

[@Sophies-watch-world]

I just believed that’s what the dial is made from. A heat treated rhodium plated dial? Could be wrong but that was my impression and that’s why I call it such. I know it’s referred to on the website as a slate dial.

[@Sophies-watch-world]

I’ve checked again and yes it’s a plated Rhodium dial ✌️

[@DESCENDINGDR]

It may be Rhodium plated but it is no longer called Rhodium. It is now called a Slate dial on the Rolex website. Years ago is was called a Rhodium dial.

[@thingyee1118]

I agree it can be called Rhodium if it's made from it. Many Rolex have multiple nicknames...

@@DESCENDINGDR yes but it’s a rhodium dial. So that is why people call it a rhodium dial.
