Went in for a Datejust and got THIS instead 🤯
This is my first ever Rolex and first post here. Hey all!!! 😀
I was coached by a Rolex veteran to form a good relationship with local ADs. I took his advice and drove to ADs within a 100mi radius. All ADs appreciated a personal visit than a phone call but it wasn't enough to sell me a Rolex. 😔 Two weeks later I received an email from one of the ADs that a few Datejusts became available. I hauled my butt over and without any delay she brought out the watches. I tried them on and liked them but she noticed that I wasn’t in LOVE with what was in front of me so she whispered, “Qazi, do you like the YACHTMASTER?” My jaw dropped to the floor as I screamed, “YES, I LOVE THE YM. Tell me you have one?” After going out of her way and convincing her manager she came back with the MOST BEAUTIFUL WATCH I have ever seen. Without even trying it I had my credit card and ID out. This YM with a blue dial is hands down the best watch I own. Sorry for the longest story but I hope some of you relate with me on this. Happy Sunday! P.S. Enjoy the wrist shots. |

Massive congratulations.
Who won’t fall in love with this mesmerizing reference. The touch of red works like magic on that sunburst blue dial. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What a beautiful watch. Congratulations, you're very lucky. The red hand and text really make the dial pop. I think I would prefer this over a Sub.

My friend prefers the grey dial on the Yachtmaster which I could never understand. I don't think you can improve the blue Yachtmaster. Miles better! Love mine.
