Well yesterday was a good day!

I had a scheduled appointment with my AD to try on some 36mm and 41mm Datejusts (I can wear both sizes on my 7 inch wrist). We ended up chatting for well over an hour about my work, my other watches (was wearing the BB58) and future Rolex pieces. I said how much I love the rhodium dial Yacht-Master 40 - I appreciate the thinner lugs and slimmer case compared to the Sub. She said they had a 37mm version in if I would like to see it to look at the dial (compared to the blue) so went out to get it. When she returned she was smiling and hiding a coffin behind her back. She said, they had a shipment arrived that day and actually had the Yacht-Master 40 and although there are many people looking for the piece she would be happy to give it to me - I was delighted! I know it is not the most desired piece but I really don't care about that - it is a beautiful watch and I am going to enjoy it :)

I am dashing off to the beach now but pictures to follow! I will also update with my first impressions etc.

Happy Saturday everyone.

Congrats great pick up, look forward to the pics, don’t know if it’s a thing with AD’s but when I was in a store they said “oh we’ve just had a delivery today” and bought out a Bluesy which I bought on the spot even though I wasn’t particularly looking at that option.

you must be down south if you're going to the beach,it's p~ssing it down up north

Congrats on the watch

Benzsiam · 22 August 2020, 09:25 PM

Congratulations, good choice.

I think Yacht-Master 40 is getting more popular now these days.

I love the YM and I think it is one of the most underrated watches in the Rolex line up. Congrats on a GREAT acquisition and wear the heck out of it!

Goose 104 · 23 August 2020, 05:08 AM

Thanks everyone - I am super excited with this watch. I think it is the only watch I have that looks even better in full sunlight. The dial is amazing. Pics incoming via Tapa

awesome watch

Rashid.bk · 23 August 2020, 05:21 AM

That's a beautiful watch, the dial pops against the blue hands. Enjoy your first weekend with that beauty.

bibbi · 23 August 2020, 05:28 AM

Fantastic watch! Congrats.

It goes very very well with grey and blue rubber bands. If you go often to the beach such bands would be a nice summer option.

Great point I must look at the rubber straps - thank you.

Goose 104 · 23 August 2020, 05:45 AM

Shots in direct sun - I love the way the dial changes from slate grey to almost black with that sunburst.

EuskoGudari · 23 August 2020, 05:52 AM

Beautiful watch. Congratulations!

Congratulations.
That's a beautiful piece.

Tanuki · 23 August 2020, 05:54 AM

Congratulations!!! That is a beauty and seriously under appreciated model IMO!!! The platinum bezel is a little secret bonus. I bet in the future it’s value will be realized and it will be a highly coveted piece.

Avs Fan · 23 August 2020, 05:58 AM

Congratuations!

RichM · 23 August 2020, 06:02 AM

Congratulations! Can I ask why the 6'clock it censured? (I'm a noob)

Congrats. Looks really good in the direct sunlight pics.
