Tag! Can't wait to be an official member of the WG YACHT-MASTER 42 Owners Club. I was very excited about this 2019 Baselworld release and placed an order right away. Everything about this watch called to me. Right size, right material, clear display, glide lock, weekend proof power reserve. It's the casual luxury watch I had been searching for.
Hopefully soon Rolex will be done sending out YM42's destined for grey dealers and finally get around to sending one to my AD. Actually, as I type that, I hope/think one will be under the tree Christmas morning.

"The Yacht-Master’s bidirectional rotatable 60-minute graduated bezel is made of precious materials. The raised polished numerals and graduations stand out clearly against a matt, sand-blasted background. This functional bezel – which allows the wearer to calculate, for example, the sailing time between two buoys – is also a key component in the model’s distinctive visual identity."

If it’s stealthier than your other white gold watches; then it’s stealthy!

I saw one on someone's wrist, and I really didn't think it had any wrist presence. I had the 40mm RG version, but unfortunately had to sell it because it wore too small. If they make a RG version of this 42mm, I'll be first in line to buy it. I love the combination of rubber and rose gold.

Technically the Bezel is white gold and Bezel Insert is ceramic. Perhaps that's why you two are duking it out over semantics. |

Would love this piece in SS, not WG.

Here’s a pic to see the difference in hand sizes, and dial finishes.

It's not "if the insert is in fact ceramic," it's a straight up fact that it is ceramic. How surprising for someone like you who posts soooo confidently and judgmentally to not be aware of that.

I have never disliked the YM42 handset. Hour hands should be thicker than minute hands IMO. People want this to be a cheaper steel Sub or a more exact sub-clone. But that's not what I want. I like the YM42 just the way Rolex made it.

The Bezel insert on the YM 42 is definitely ceramic (Cerachrom). Here it is directly from rolex.com:

When pics of this leaked out the day before Basel, as a former Yachtmaster owner I was excited...until the next day when it was WG and $27K. I could never justify or rationalize that price but if it was SS for $12K there’d be a huge waitlist. I know that so far Rolex has deigned to put rubber straps only on PM models but never say never. Offering that even as an option on SS Pro models would be a huge seller.

Purchased this past weekend. At first the Oysterflex rubber band felt cheap to me; loved the watch but the strap detracted. 4 days later it is growing on me.

Love mine! Got it a couple weeks ago. Putting it into the rotation on a special occasion.
I’d post a pic but I can’t figure out how to resize the images properly. |

That’s great can’t wait to see it. Trouble resizing? Download the App tapatalk for your phone or tablet and install. Go to Rolex Forums and you will be able to use take pictures and upload. It will resize for you.

The Best Rolex yet...? (for me)
Well, After 3 days of wearing my new WG YM42 I can honestly say that I'm a changed Rolex Wearer...
I thought the OysterFlex on the RG YM40 was pretty comfortable, but with the Newer and slightly different from the Submariner OF GlideLock, it is the best I have experienced over all the other Rolex SS and Precious metal Bracelets... You don't have to worry about scratching the polished center links, which is very liberating... I feel free from the constant lookout for possible damage... That is to also say that my skin is very sensative, however if your's is not may not be a big deal... The size just fits well with 3/8' on either side of my 7" wrist before overhang... The seconds had goes almost ALL the way to the Rehaut, which is a cool thing to watch... Thje super Maxi Dial looks normal after a while, and the maxi just loks a tiny bit smaller but both are fine... The Matte Bezel with polished raised numbers sparkle in the sun, and very well defined. The case is very comfortable, just like a Daytona case without the pushers sticking out, plus you have a date... I'll add more soon got to go...ttyl

I have had mine for a year now. By far the most comfortable Rolex I have worn. It’s a perfect watch. Love everything about it.

Update:
My new YM42 runs about -2 a day. Last night I tried for the first time to allow it to leave my wrist and stood it, Face Up. To my surprise, it was only -1/2 second slow. Amazing it works on the 3235 movement as well... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Never been a fan of the YM until I saw the Basel release on the 42. Put it on the very last of my list and, of course, got the call yesterday. Went in today to see it for the first time. Much more stunning in person. The WG definitely has a shine that a SS would not. The dial is out of this world and the OF is extremely comfortable and makes the entire watch and its wearability much easier on the wrist. Yes, it looks like a modded Sub to most humans but I suppose that’s not why you buy this watch. The complaints about the thickness of the hands didn’t phase me. Truth be told, I was hoping an OF WG Daytona would have come in first. MSRP and no tax seems like a fair deal. I have 24 hours to decide if I want to dump the coin on this unexpected arrival. It’s less about the money but more about the guilt of spending this much on a watch that is nowhere near the top of my list. She is a beauty though. Any thoughts to help my sleepless night?

Other than a WG OF Daytona and maybe a YG Daytona Green dial if I’m lucky, the rest of my list is SS Sport. I average 2-3 watches per year.

Suits me; I’ve had white gold Daytona’s and DD40s . All fine watches. Also had Subs and SD43s.
The Yachtmaster 42 is possibly the best of the lot. Elegant but not at all ‘showy’. The Oysterflex is comfortable and easy to keep clean. It just feels a well thought-out design. Probably too discrete to be a big seller, too subtle. But that’s just fine. It will age well as a design. A grown-up watch. |
