I prefer the CHNR and you sound like you prefer the Yachtmaster, so if I were you I’d buy the Yachtmaster

I like that YM ALOT more as well. I tried the CHNR last week. Not that special and I dont know how anyone would pay for a CHNR over a Bluesy or even a YG TT GMT.
This YM on the other hand looks special. That sunburst chocolate dial + the RG looks stunning. Get it!!! |

YM Blue dial would have my preference - but happy you go against all the rest - at least you have a Watch that will stand out from the rest. Don't be a followerv- be leader.

However if I had the choice of both, it would still need to be the CHNR as I know the YM's bezel is very delicate, and I would really prefer the GMT complication. |

I have had both as I love rose gold. It really depends on whether you like the submariner style or the gmt style. My issue is that I don’t travel and I always have gravitated towards the submariner. The only thing I don’t like is the bi-directional bezel, but both the ym and gmt have this so it’s a minimal decision maker on these models. I don’t think you can go wrong with either. The chocolate dial is stunning in the sun. Good luck!!

I have the Blue Dial SS YM and the TT CHNR. They are so very different but I like them both. The one that gets the wrist time depends on where I'm going and/or what I am wearing.
You just need to decide which one YOU like best; and get that one first. And the other one will have to wait (if the want and/or need remains!). Good luck

The YM case imo is much sleeker, and a bit more elegant than the maxi case on the GMT. I tried both on and the major pros for the YM over the CHNR imo: sleeker case, flat black dial on the YM (chocolate is nice, but i strongly encourage you to check out the flat black dial), the rolex writing on YM is in RG as opposed to white in CHNR (small detail but in person looks amazing). If you're planning to keep the watch, the YM can be discounted usually.
GMT has an extra function so if you travel a lot, that's also a consideration

It is a matter of personal preference. The CHNR has important for me feature - GMT and on top is better looking watch. But vote with your heart. Good luck!

Think I am changing my vote. I am really feeling this YM in chocolate. Need to try to find one at my AD to see in the flesh, and then it may be a purchase.

to each his own. CHNR is much more appealing to me.

I’ve never understood the lure of the YM. As a CHNR owner I can say that I am completely satisfied. Your job is to get what speaks to you the most.

I am no a fan of this watch. The two GMT is a better way to go to me.

I tried on that YM at my AD today. It is even more stunning in person. The chocolate dial is amazing. I may be going back for it tomorrow...

I had the chocolate dial yachtmaster and only sold it because of financial reasons. If I had a choice now I would probably go for the new CHNR but make no bones about it, the 116621 is a beautiful and classy watch and more then holds it own against the CHNR. It also wears really nicely and tapered on the wrist.

I would go with the YM every time.
It wears well and just has perfect weighting on the wrist.
