In one of the local magazines here in Detroit Justin Verlander (Detroit Tiger)
was on the cover wearing a YM.

Love the YM. Not too flashy for a Rolex, in fact, a lot won't recognize it as a Rolex. And it's not too "rugged" looking for a sports watch. So, it's right in the middle of the dressy-sporty scale.

A YM is not an option because the wife has already
declared I will be getting a full size and her a mid size
for an anniversary gift in the next couple years.

Jeremy,
What about the new IWC Aquatimers? Or IWC Ingenieur?

Nice decision there mate! I am sure both of you will enjoy it to the most!

Well I really was thinking the AP ROO Diver.
I went and looked at it, I love it... Stunning watch
amazing dial
BUT
That bezel is a ding magnet for people like myself who
are tough on our watches....
I really wish they offered a Rubber Clad bezel for them
my AD said he has heard others make the same comment
and has asked their rep about it so perhaps someday.
Tried on a Bumble Bee and nice watch but as I have said before for that kinda
money I want an integrated chrono not a piggy back.

Found a Beverly Hills JLC Navy Seals Alarm and wow what a watch! But its a bit big for me as its 44 mm and has 2 crowns and after I did more searching seems the JLC NS watches can be problematic....

I don't know... The more I try to find something other than a Rolex the more I keep
getting pushed back to Rolex.....

Just posted this little photo on another thread. If you want a time tested 'beater' you want go wrong with a Sea-Dweller

WatchTimes · 6 September 2011, 12:53 AM

Oh I agree....
The SD is an AMAZING watch.
I had one and regret selling it.
I will get another but I want a 666 with a matte
dial and saphire crystal....
I don't know......
It's frustrating, I LOVE Rolex... But I want something else...
Something a bit more exclusive I guess but I just can't find
anything in my size and that I am confident will take whatever
I give it and still look good....

I've bee/am there, there is no perfect choice. With Rolex you have to carry the stigma and ubiquity of the watch (go to a business meeting or golf course and it is literally the most common brand watch there) but I have yet to find anything that will beat it in terms of look, value, pedigree, service, resell value etc, etc, etc.

The only way it to get a couple of others like the ROO Diver and others and rotate around. Or go zen and use a SD and nothing else! :-)

Just picked one up with bracelet for a reasonable price. Looks great.

Congrats Jim
I am partial to the Saphire bezel myself.
The older model looks very YMish to me.

Thanks, Jeremy -

"YMish"?

WatchTimes · 7 September 2011, 01:01 AM

Yacht Masterish...

Its the bezel that's all.

The dial is stunning on the FF!!

Congrats and wear it in good health!!

psv · 7 September 2011, 01:06 AM

Korsbek Hydro Explorer? If it ever comes out...

Or IWC Aquatimer 3536 in Ti?

Both of these are 42mm and rather unusual.

Of course - I'm not up on the Rolex slang yet. (Someone was talking about a Smurfy on another thread - haven't a clue.)

Thanks, again.

WatchTimes · 7 September 2011, 01:40 AM

Smurf is the new White Gold Submariner with the Blue dial and Bezel.

That IWC is very nice but too much like my Ti Aquatimer Chrono (last generation)

I guess it will end up being a Rolex DD, just can't decide YG or wait for Plat.
I have pale skin so not sure...
