We tried on the his and hers versions in Vegas in November and we're both blown away. Beautifully executed watches.

Please can someone provide an explanation on how the bracelets are removed? I'm wondering if an Everose Daytona bracelet can be fitted.. Not that I own either piece but those who do would have the Full rose Yachty some seem to want. Myself included!

The Rolex EverRose YachtMaster Club 116655

I did ask about how it's adjusted. Sales person said that they have to order a new strap that is sort of the perfect fit within a half link.

Definitely something to think on for me - I'll either go sport casual with this (which is probs more appropriate for a 23 year old) or go dressy with the Patek 5196P, which IMO is the best looking Patek currently in regular production. Then again, I'm a sucker for a Breguet numeralled Patek and even more so for a two tone dial Breguet numeralled Patek! Decisions, decisions 😅

Definitely the most comfortable rubber strap I've ever worn and, for me, blows my Dad's rose gold Aquanaut out of the water, as it were... 👌🏻

There are 3 strap sizes, S/M/L
You can not cut the strap due to metal inside it running the entire length
micro adjustments can be made on the buckle - there are 3 notches

This is an amazing thread. I loved this one ever since the first photos came out... IMO, this watch is PERFECT.
It would be too much bling (and money) if it was on a bracelet. The rubber strap tones it down without losing its class. This watch can easily be worn on a boat, a beach, with a suit to the office, or to a wedding with tux. There's no environment where it wouldn't look amazing.
At $28K CAD though ... it's a grail piece for years (many, many years) down the road.

Still can't work out how you adjust on the deployment. Different Spring bar like other models

I am very happy to have joined this exclusive V.I.P. club today. Wonderful watch - one of the most beautiful Rolex ever made IMO.

However, as KarlS above I have also thrown in the towel on the micro adjustment. I have succeeded easily with Daytonas on leather in the past - which are not the easiest Rolex'es to micro adjust - but this one beast me. Regardless what I do - even applying violence to a brand new watch - it is completely stuck.

I think the micro-adjustment advice and super-user guidance on this forum and on the internet is useless for this model and hope that some owners someday will show a simple step-by-step process with pictures for future owners - and current new owners who feel like idiots (even though they can bloody engineer a Mercedes-Benz AMG engine).

That being said: I LOVE the watch. It is stunning. I am so happy to be in the Club.

There is no micro adjustment like the Sub or DS for this bracelet. It is 3 spring bar anchor positions in the clasp. We had our adjusted at the AD.

I thought the 116655 would be my ultimate Rolex...I had it as a grail since it's inception. Then a friend tells me that he gave his back to the AD a day after owning it because it Had NO Heft! He missed the feeling of the weight and now owns an SD4K...?

I am perplexed to say the least. Anyone ever experience this?
