This watch is Rolex at its best, simple yet most elegant and refined. It’s the peak of refined sports watch making from the entire Rolex catalogue. It’s the perfect pair for the explorer.

I love my Yacht master every thing from the platinum bezel to the turquoise second hand against the rhodium dial. A perfect blend of sporty and classy. My favourite watch of theirs for its uniqueness and it flys well under the radar

I've had mine for 18 months and I'm still loving it. The 'slate' dial with the ice blue secondhand is mesmerising. You're spot on about the creamy bezel movement. It sits perfectly on the wrist too. I also don't own a Sub but I do have a vintage Rolex Pepsi which I wear on a pale blue suede strap.

Glad to see this video back up 😊 It’s one of my favourite watch review videos on KZbin. I love the YM40, was lucky enough to pick up a new one from the AD just two weeks ago. A 16 month wait but well worth it in the end!

Definitely a sleeper. I’m with you on the bezel…really sets it apart. Classic and classy. This case is spectacular, and I love the side profile with the view of the bezel knurling. So good.

Agree with your thoughts. I own both a YM (blue dial version) as well as a Sub. Truth be told, I seldomly wear my sub anymore. The YM is just that good!

This is without doubt one of the most beautiful modern rolexes. The only thing prevented me from buying is that i don't mind scratches on the bracelet, but the bezel is a different story, and sadly this beatuy's bezel will catch a few sooner or later, and from there you cannot unsee them :(
@Jelenicko6 ай бұрын
Surprisingly in 6 months the bezel got zero scratches but the clasp on the other hand is scratch magnet. In the beginning I was so annoyed but I made peace with it. Every time I look at my wrist it makes me happy

Over 10 years ago I wanted the previous Yachtmaster but I had a young family at the time and couldn’t spend the money on a watch. This year I got my rhodium dial and glad I didn’t buy the previous model as the current version is much nicer

This is certainly a nice watch, however I would still choose the submariner over this one. The only yachtmaster I would choose over the sub is the titanium one. That looks amazing and the fact that it is grade 5 titanium is insane!
