Very Quick Review Of My New Rolex 116621 Everose Yachtmaster
Hi all,
Just recently acquired this new and unworn and thought I share some pictures for you. This watch and the Grey Dial version were the only ones to capture my attention at Basel 2016 and it was a toss up between the two considering the major price difference between them. In the end I went for this one although I really did have to sleep on the decision. For people that don't know, this watch wears very different to a Submariner, it's a lot lighter (the Everose doesn't feel weighty really) - at times I forget it's on my wrist - the curved lugs help the watch hug tightly to my smallish wrist. This watch is my first one with precious metal and honestly the gold I find very subtle. In certain light it either looks bling or very subdued. The price of the watch I think is certainly fair in comparison to it's full blown RG, WG or Platinum siblings. In short I love the watch. People say it can't be worn everyday but I don't see why it cannot. Enjoy the pictures (sorry for phone pics!) |

Beautiful. Just purchased one myself, i should be expecting it tomorrow. I originally wanted to get a 18k RG/SS yachtmaster II. But after trying it on at an AD, realized it was a huge watch. They had this one and it fits a lot better and looks great (i love rose gold watches). so excited to get it !!!

Congrats! I have the same problem as yours recently but pulled the trigger on the rhodium dial. Indeed the YM felt really good on the wrist.

WIS's forget that the great majority of watches are small and subtle enough that they are a relatively insignificant part of one's attire. I.e., as long as you avoid strapping a huge, brightly-coloured diver over the cuff of a business suit, >90% of the world won't even register your choice of wristwatch. So, that minor caveat aside: wear whatever you like, where you like and when you like! |

awesome...YM is so underrated. the Sub is ubiquitous. The YM can be dressed up and also is a conversation piece because you don't see it tin the wild much... Very nice watch. Thanks for sharing the pics.
