New member about to make my first Rolex purchase. Considering a used Yachtmaster or Submariner. Thoughts, suggestions?

I would recommend a Sub.

Welcome to TRF and let us know what you decide!! Good luck!!!

Just because Allan and Dave said Submariner I'll say Yacht Master.

Welcome!

Welcome to the forum

Get the sub, It'll take more of a beating.
The Yacht Master is a beautiful piece, but a bit more delicate IMO ( Don't scratch that bezel ).

I would most certainly not consider a Yacht Master "...delicate". A solid platinum bezel is a touch more robust than painted aluminum insert.

The ss/platinum combo must be seen (and worn) in the flesh to be appreciated. And just maybe a person may like a timepiece that not EVERYONE else in the world has.
