I'm wondering how have other ym owners sized their oysterflex strap? My watch came with an EE and EG strap but it was too loose even with the 12 oclock strap tucked all the way into the clasp, so I've swapped the EG for an EF size strap. It fits nice, but I'd prefer it just a tad looser for warmer weather. I already have the strap all the way out of the clasp.

I'm wondering whether to swap the 6o'clock EE strap for an EF, but worry whether having two straps of the same length may make the watch sit lobsided on my wrist. When they measured me at rsc they said my wrist size should be an EE and EF combination.

Hey guys, do you wear your 116655 on a daily basis? I wore mine everyday. Rain or shine.

alpinistfan · 21 April 2018, 01:18 PM

Thank you kindly to everyone who provided insight, user experience, and real world images to this beautiful watch. I believe this could be my grail watch; first Rolex; and, only watch (if that is such a thing)

bellesdad0417 · 27 April 2018, 02:32 PM

I've been intrigued by this watch for some time now. I finally broke down and tried one on today at my AD. I loved it immediately and it fit absolutely perfect with no resizing necessary. If I hadn't already bought 2 watches already in 2018 I think i would have gone home with it. I probably will need to wait a bit until my funds replenish but I can see myself with this watch. Who knows i might even see it the wife is open to her own version.

mobster600 · 28 April 2018, 08:13 AM

the price for this new and used is still so high. i dont want to offend the people who spend over 20k on this but geez thats too much IMO.

And the used market isnt coming down, you can maybe get one for 18k if your lucky

i think this would be a reasonable value around 15k used, and 18k brand new

i dont think Rolex would ever do that when they can sell SS skydwellers for 14k

I have the 37 SS/Rhodium YM, which I love. Yours looks stunning and fits you perfectly. Thanks for sharing the photo!

So want to try one of these one, but can't find any local AD with one in stock.

When I've got more time, I will have to start phoning around.

If I can find one to try, and if I really like it and I think it won't adversely affect my skin condition I will sell my 16610 Sub to help fund it, seeing as I can't wear the Sub anymore.

wempe has one again as of 20 minutes ago as i just stopped by. Also have a SS YMII in the inside display case and the diamond dial OF YM which i dont happen to like. FWIW they said their allocations have been better than normal post renovation since Rolex is being featured so heavily.

Bhauer · 19 August 2018, 12:51 PM

I really want in this club! It’s hard to find one with the right size bracelet.
Great photos!

Thanks for that.....hopefully they will still have it for a few more weeks, as it will be another couple of weeks before I can get a chance to get into London.

I keep coming back to this watch over and over. Its awesome but out of my price range for the foreseeable future. I'm saving up for a Daytona. We will see what shakes out in the next few years.

By the way this Rolex is one of the most beautiful Watches I have seen

Matte Dial

Matte and polished Cerachrome Bezel

Red YACHT-MASTER lettering

Ousterflex Strap like on New Daytona’s

PM RoseGold

Date Conplication

Polished case

Lower price than Daytona or Sub

Haha I guess it takes a certain type of Collector
