Titanium *can* be highly polished. Grand Seiko has done this expertly.

[@yongookguack9827]

It depends on the Titanium class. Grade 2 titanium can’t be polished but grade 5 titanium can be hogh gloss poloshed. Hublot and Omega also done it many times.

This is my dream ROLEX now. I'm a rugged guy, and if I have the money, this is the watch.

[@str8m880]

I think the yacht master 2 is the perfect model to experiment with such as the oyster strap or ceramic bezel insert etc, good design but not risking an icon, comes in 3 different sizes 37/40/42 and isn't as widely produced perfect for a sample

[@ID-Guy]

Great point. Adding to it, in a way it feels like the YM has always been that "experimental" model, right? It all just makes sense that this is an ideal playground for them now! 🥃

[@conorbarry1928]

Huge fan of this channel. Bit of feedback (I know you didn't ask), I don't know if you need the shots of you in it. I've quite liked that your channel has a point of difference because it just shows the watches. Not sure why but it makes it quite relaxing !

[@ID-Guy]

No worries at all Conor! I took a month away from the channel to rethink how I wanted to "present" and this, after a bit of practice, feels more "comfortable and relatable" if that makes sense. Behind the scenes, after doing about 250 videos around the same format I really lost the spark and drive to make more. It's a mixed bag... One hand I want to come across as someone more relatable (that is more at ease presenting videos) but still keep the content informative - don't worry, this is only video no.4 like this, so it's still an uphill battle ;)

[@sellsidedream8766]

Good research. Earned a Sub

[@Konsaliki]

I've always thought that Rolex would leave the more modern, tooley materials to Tudor, so that they can keep building on their brand equity, becoming less and less considered to be the "baby Rolex". I don't know how to feel about this, to be honest. I've always liked Rolex' stubbornness in this regard.

[@ID-Guy]

Going against their own "stubbornness" I like this point! At the end of the day, the brand makes their own rules and breaks them. It's a very strange dynamic. Tudor has been that "experimental" unit for such a long time (and still is - next week covering a new model they're working on) But this does feel odd that they're following the motions with everyone else on this one 🥃

[@arthurluz5356]

The yachtmaster is one of my favorite rolexes. I plan on buying a 2001 yachtmaster with the platinum dial once I get my first bonus in 2024. It’s one of my absolute favorite watches, and deeply undervalued in my opinion. I am also a huge fan of the rose gold oysterflex version as it is light and comfortable, especially for a gold watch. I love the Wall Street vibe of the white dial yellow gold model from the 90s and early 2000s, too. I think a titanium yachtmaster would be very nice, especially with a gray bezel and dial to differentiate it from the white gold model. The lightness with a nato or oysterflex would be very interesting for a Rolex, too.

[@ID-Guy]

Those early platinum dials are gorgeous. There's nothing like them out there. And so many options to choose in this area too! Thank you as always Arthur and I'll be holding thumbs that you manage to get a Yacht-Master before 2024! That's a helluva long time to wait ;)

[@atsylor5549]

I live in the USA and the name yacht master doesn’t sound at all like a professional/tool watch name. The name alone sounds like it would be a luxury/jewelry watch. Submariner sounds more like a professional watch name. But maybe in other parts of the world the word yacht has a wider meaning other than a rich person’s luxurious entertainment ship.

I bought a YM 40 rhodium dial this year. I love it. I would be surprised if this (titanium) happened. But, if it did it would most likely happen on the YM. After all, the Everose gold model was a surprise when it came out & that watch is a stunner

[@denrid0cks]

Where are you thinking the MSRP will fall?

[@ID-Guy]

[@pascalp.]

Thank you, really like the channel. Manufacturing high-precision parts in Titanium is a nightmare. So considering the amount of watches Rolex is making, it would be really challenging to mass produce (even for the YM range only). Maybe limited edition but it's not really the purpose of the brand. Or a way to put the light on the Yach-Master vs the scarcity on other professional models.

[@robertschmidt9584]

I think this could be the move that the Yacht Master needs, to get it above and beyond the Submariner. I do think that this could be a result of the Tudor experiments in the past years with different materials on their sports watches.

Surprised that you didn't mention the rose gold YachtMaster 40 on the Oysterflex bracelet, a beautiful watch, that was also available, strangely, as a 37 millimetre variant. I was unaware there was a white gold version. However, I still think my blue dial is the best one to own.

[@JohnInSale]

The mistake they made with the 42mm Yacht Master was making it in white gold, I’d been waiting and hoped they’d do it in platinum and i’d of bought one of those !!! But I just don’t like yellow or everrose or white gold , especially as it dulls and needs a plating etc Tudor have shown the way with Bronze and Silver But atleast this Titanium version is a step in the right direction and it would be nice at 44mm 👍🏻

[@WatchMeEDC]

Greta vid. A ceramic/Ti is on my wish list to travel with. There so tough and worry free! It’s also smart by Rolex to leverage the trend of alternate metals (insert Hansel “their so hot right now) to temper the stainless steel sports watch craze and bubble 🌷

Like us all Henry. The enjoyment (for me at least) comes from a place of talking about them. The thought of actually owning these has nearly evaporated at this stage haha!

[@thomasont]

It's refreshingly nice to know that Rolex isn't entirely resting on its laurels by keeping their yacht masters professional sports line models updated while being different at the same time. Better late than never as they would say. I enjoyed your renderings of the yacht masters offerings and I think Rolex is strategizing to develop a new breed of professional sports line models alongside existing variants or a new and seperate category variant will be created for similar purposes like the Oyster Quartz as the example. Thanks for the video with best regards, IDGuy. 😎⌚👍

[@ID-Guy]

My pleasure Jay! Something tells me a release like this won't affect them (discontinue them) A titanium model like this is too much of an "outlier" to have the Yachtmaster category to itself 🥃

[@jayowen4526]

@@ID-Guy Thank you for getting back to me. I do wonder whether this will help revamp the image of the Yachtmaster and possibly increase it’s popularity overall? If I’m completely honest, I’m surprised it’s not more popular anyway given that it hits a sweet spot between watches that fall into Rolex’s ‘tool watch’ genre and more elegant pieces, such as the Daytona. As you suggest, perhaps it’s the lack of an obvious identity between the two that has hindered it. However, it does seem that a very slight change of mindset to ‘the best of both’ genres might be the way forward for this model. It wouldn’t surprise me if we see this model emerge as the latest ‘hot model’ in the coming months. It seems to be building some traction on KZbin already.

[@PoltergeistWorks]

Titanium doesn't look elegant? I believe the ZENITH Defy Classic would disagree with that statement. It's mostly because alot of brands use the cheaper and softer GRADE2 titanium, which is indeed darker and even can oxidize a bit, while the obvious choice is GRADE5 - harder, more expensive to manufacture and can even be polished.

[@patrickjean-philippe7679]

I would love a titanium Yachtmaster finished all matt as a genuine toolwatch. To wait whilst feeding my appetite, I bought the Omega Seamaster 007 in titanium.

[@yongookguack9827]

Two things I’m curious. Is that Titanium prototype is coated in black color?? DLC coating can protect soft grade 2 Titanium surface. I wonder if Rolex is ready for making Titanium material itself by themselves. If they can own the material, Why not?

[@petrolabkilla]

They should do a super tactical style submariner.

[@stueyx]

It's cheaper for Rolex to market their existing lines as new and interesting to encourage people to buy them when they can't easily buy Subs, GMTs, Explorers and more recently OPs. I look forward to the titanium and ceramic bicolour pearl master in 2025 and the huge marketing campaign and youtube algorithm chasers.

[@deech2086]

Ok, love this video. As a YM40 owner, one which has been featured on this channel recently (proud to say and thank you), I love this new watch. Symmetry is on point here. However, I do wonder about the weight. Will it be too light? Will the Ti clasp (if that is the case) balance it out. I have always wanted to try on the white gold model to get a better feel for it with that Oyster Flex 'bracelet'. I do wonder about the price point and if the juice will be worth the squeeze. I am on the list for the new Polar and, if I can attain, at retail, I see good value for money there. Will this watch be the same? I guess one could say buying any Rolex at retail would be good value for money these days. Anyway, keep up the great work, on point as usual. Love the channel.

[@ID-Guy]

Appreciate it Jeffrey! And of all the models, the Yachtmaster is one of the few professionals I've had lots of time with. Funny, but experienced the Rhodium and WG Daytona Oysterflex in the same afternoon and both are superb in their own way. The Oysterflex is amazingly comfortable and balanced via the clasp and weight. It's now wondering how the Titanium will factor in because it's going to be super light... and that heft is what we all want out of pieces like these? Maybe a rubber strap won't be the ideal option for a model like this? Also good luck getting the Polar! I'll be holding thumbs for you brother ;) 🥃

Odd one, this. Most 'prototypes' appear in the range eventually, but metal tech's not really Rolex's bag and they'd be trailing Seiko/GS, Sinn, Blancpain, Panerai and Omega etc to market. I'd buy (light and robust), but given Rolex's production/AD SNAFU, a separate production line/range is the last thing they want. Titanium is a great metal, but a nightmare to work. It can be polished however, but is very expensive to do well (see Seiko/GS models, divers included), most Swiss cheap out and don't polish. Also, I don't believe Rolex make their steel cases in-house: precious metal only. A Ti case would certainly be outsourced. I think only Seiko is full integrated.

[@ID-Guy]

Thank you for all of this James! So many manufacturers have been working with these metals already... if I was given the option to source a metal it would be Sinn's Tegimented Steel. It's leagues above so many others for "work watches". Great point about the polishing too! Seen how GS gets such a great finish from the material. Well, we all look forward to seeing how the RLX titanium is marketed ;)

[@jameshoward9700]

@@ID-Guy No worries! As a man on honeymoon with a Tegimented Sinn, I can wholeheartedly recommend them! It is a laughably superior steel to most watches. Not jewellery grade though and perhaps a little over-engineered!

Rolex are slow to take up titanium, the yatchmaster is basically a sub, with a different bezel. Omega as a brand have definitely tried different materials like carbon and as a result are catching up. Rolex have always been stable offering small changes to their flagship models, and as a result have been perceived as a quality product. But times are changing and rolex needs to offer more choices now if they want to remain the number 1 brand. Omega have always been very varied and it could pay off soon, as they have made some really iconic models too. Seiko too, are upping their game, and making more high end models that will give anyone a run for their money , the next decade is going to be hard fought .

The white gold YM is a stunner, a man can always dream! 😄

[@rouge-gsd3061]

I'm wondering if they ever plan on making it on a bracelet. If not then what this is going to be is the other side of the oyster perpetual. Let me explain the oyster line has always been a true tool watch but now it's become the entry-level dress tool of all there lines.This in titanium on the other hand is going to be a true tool and keeping it on the strap and not a bracelet will reduce the price per unit majorly. If I had to take a guess this one at retail will be on the cheap end for one say 7,500 or that ballpark. This and the two tone explorer tells me that rolex wants to extend there side lines away from steel. The submariner even with its precious metal versions is still represented by steel but the Yacht master has had a tough time finding the right material for itself. Titanium can be the ultimate choice that no other lines will share in and give it the best chance to show off from its older brother the submariner.
