Yacht Master 37mm

Hive Mind: School me on the 37mm DARK RHODIUM 268622 Platinum Stainless Steel model.

Is it discontinued? On the Rolex website, they do not offer it in that configuration - rose gold only. Yet I see them available from on-line dealers as 2020 models.

What was the first year of the 37mm Dark Rhodium PSS model?

It is on the Rolex website. You're just not looking hard enough. This is most likely my next purchase.

I'm not sure... I need to do some more research. I really am falling in love with this 37mm model though because i've got some small wrists and like my watch to feel under the radar and not like a piece of machinery on my wrist. I'm torn between this and a 126234 Date Just.

Nice watch. The 40mm is a lovely piece of jewellery. The 37mm may feel smaller due to the bezel to dial ratio. Doesn't really go unnoticed as it's very shiny. I don't know if the logo is smaller than 40mm (serious thought as to the proportions)

Lots of new 37mm on tinternet but I did not see any "used" ones. That is why I wondered about the release date/launch date for that model. Maybe not that many in the wild or people love them and keep them.

Maybe that explains the rarity of them on the used market? And if they were not that popular to begin with? Seem a pity....I am quite smitten with the 37...Not sure I want to pay full retail on one...Seems like there should be a sweet spot when a watch is a few years old....lightly used and available for 20% off what a new one costs. But maybe I am wrong about this....

I'm seeing 37 YMs 37mm currently advertised on Chrono24, reference 268622. Strange coincidence.

Yes....I must admit I was filtering on US dealers....but they are out there around the world. $11250 is MSRP and they have moved much off that price.

This is so beautiful. Photos like these are what make me want this over another Datejust as a daily.

make sure you try one on, the 37 looks a lot smaller in person than you'd think due to its proportions. nice watch tho

Absolutely stunning! Looks perfect on your wrist.

What kind of car does that steering wheel belong to?

Looks like a Mercedes wheel to me.

My aging 2012 C350. Pretty sure the watch is worth more than the car now, but I'm gonna drive it into the ground (no car payments = more watches!)

Someone who doesn’t feel the need to flash their car logo. That’s refreshing.

I like the look on your wrist, OP! Well done.
