Very nice. Haven't seen one yet but really I can't 'not like' it. The black and white theme is super cool.

Problem wit this is - if you keep the stickers on the clasp they will come loose a bit , collecting dust which will work like sandpaper.....

Absolutely! If Rolex came out with the Perpetual Douchebag watch next year I don’t think it would sell well. I don’t own a Yacht, never been on one and can’t afford one so the name does bother me.

Interesting perspective. If I like something enough, I'd wear it unless it actually represented something offensive.

A yachtmaster is a qualification allowing you to handle boats, a "driving" licence of sorts. You don't need to own the thing :-). You could just be crew member in a race.

I get your point, boating is not your thing, I like the world of sailing but I would have preferred a name like Yacht-Racer since this is marketed as a tool for regattas, whether it's actually used as such or not (there are far better modern electronic alternatives, as always).

Finally some good photos of this piece! OP, Rolex should hire you, their press images suck.

Congrats beautiful piece , I recently tried the RG 40mm and loved the comfort and looks of the watch but was a bit too small for my taste , this new one being WG, 42mm and with the integration of the Glidelock sounds very promising.
