It’s really cool


Bought the watch with it installed (have the factory black wheel as well), it is a modification as they only come with the black wheel from factory. Other Rolex
models that use the same movement (turnograph 116264, for example) comes with the red wheel so it’s a simple swap!

The Yacht Master is so opposite of what I like in a watch, but I can't help but love it, especially this dial version followed by the blue dial version. I'm more of an OP/Datejust/Explorer type, but I'd rock the Yacht Master proudly.

Look good with the jubilee and I tried mine 16622 with folding clasp jubilee too. I love that look. For those who has the jubilee bracelet from five digits gmt model (62510h end link 502t) it works perfectly with the YM case. Try it out.

Personally I like the two tone and blue dial more in my first post

Because most people haven't seen it in person!?

The newer models look nice. Where as the silver silver version is more early 00s style like the Blancpain FF of that time.
It seems that the YM just doesn't tickle the WIS fancy.
If you check the yachtmaster owner page on here 11k views I'm 3 months. Where as the guy saying he prefers the bezel colour on a specific GMT gets 3500views in a few days.

Isn't it great to have choice!

What about an Everest leather band with ss endlinks to make it more sport looking?

My AD had the blue dial in stock, I tried it on and was surprised it was pretty heavy but due to the price increase it was now $12k
