I must admit that I wasn't a fan, too much of the same tone, I used to think. I emphasize my use of the past tense because your review and pictures have entirely changed my perspective.

Brilliant watch and an equally great review!

Nice review - the YM is just about ready for the obligatory bracelet update though.

Well, it's different and very unique in the line-up.............like a blinged up Sub and more dressy than sporty.

Very nice review....yes, also the bezel is a totally different setup on the yachtmaster, it's not like the submariners where the insert pops into the bezel assembly...yachtmaster's is a two piece with the flat washer in between...the top piece(what is the knurled perimeter and the numerical insert) is one fully cast Platinum piece. The bottom retaining ring is, I believe, stainless.

Also....why won't Rolex update the clasp on these Yachtmasters???....A Daytona Clasp is so much more appropriate on these YMs.
