Want to come back to the Rolex fold and the YM1 in blue has grown on me quite a lot recently. What attracts me is the blue dial and the platinum bezel and thin profile. Any thoughts? Please share esp from current owners of this watch.

Here's a wrist shot when I tried it out in an AD.

nyyankees · 25 April 2014, 10:14 AM

I think that's great watch.

thomaspp · 25 April 2014, 10:15 AM

I like it a lot. Considered it hard and good before picking up my sub, but was never quite all the way there. All the best.

Wllnv19 · 25 April 2014, 10:17 AM

I've owned two and sold them both...the platinum dial and then the blue after awhile they just stopped doing it for me, but the blue dial is beautiful

Zman15 · 25 April 2014, 10:20 AM

Very nice!

gilv · 25 April 2014, 10:41 AM

I'm a proud owner. Since getting it a few months ago, it's is my daily wearer. The blue is mesmerizing yet not too many think of it as a rolex since it does not look like a sub or DJ. The biggest plus for me is the comfort. I enjoy staring at it not knowing what time it is!

Urosfan · 25 April 2014, 10:44 AM

It's a nice watch, when I tried them on it wasn't for me but def a great looking watch

tkc324 · 25 April 2014, 10:46 AM

Love the YM but partial to the silver dial.

I really like it with the blue dial. For sure on my future consideration list.

When my son and I were shopping for his first new Rolex when he got into med school this is what we both thought was the hottest thing out, and that was when it was side by side to the new black and blue ceramic GMT

Royalex · 25 April 2014, 11:50 AM

Nice and not so common like submariner or gmt master. I love the blue sunburst dial,it is so stunning.

Frankly, I think it is just the otherside of spectacular. Beautiful watch for certain.

GB-man · 25 April 2014, 12:01 PM

The tone of blue in the dial and how striking the red second hand looks against it is hard to argue with.

Presa canary · 25 April 2014, 12:04 PM

I like it. The only reason I prob haven't had one is the numbers on the bezel. Too big IMO

Fernandohk · 25 April 2014, 12:07 PM

You see less of them in the wild. Highly recommended.

kilyung · 25 April 2014, 01:04 PM

One of the most comfortable watches I've ever owned

x2 the ym wears wonderfully! The blue dial with the platinum bezel and PCL's looks quite nice as well. I say go get it.

rouxeny · 25 April 2014, 01:40 PM

Really enjoy mine. Very comfortable, and is like that it doesn't look like a Sub or GMT or other more popular Rolex.

PCLs definitely scratch easily. Do also have one small scratch on the bezel.

GEZ7ch · 25 April 2014, 01:47 PM

Love the watch, like it even better with the Pt. dial which under certain lightning is flat grey and under a different one, a shimmering metallic:

sea-dweller · 25 April 2014, 01:48 PM

Looks great!

viper9669 · 25 April 2014, 01:51 PM

Its slimmer, shinier, and looks different. A nice ref to mix/rotate the collection.

Can be both casual and formal as well.

The blue dial changes different shades depending on lighting👍

bayerische · 25 April 2014, 05:06 PM

I like it, but for me it would have to be the original platinum dial.

AK797 · 25 April 2014, 05:11 PM

The blue dial is probably the best looking SS Rolex watch imho, I would go for it Ben. I will either buy this or the new sunburst Bluesy next year.

DCheeta · 25 April 2014, 06:20 PM

I think it's the most beautiful looking Rolex there is. I don't have one yet because I'm not sure if I can pull off PCLs. I'm a casual, brushed steel type of dude. But you? Buy it now!

Psmith · 25 April 2014, 06:43 PM

Love the blue dial YM

HL65 · 25 April 2014, 07:35 PM

Love that blue dial and looks great on you Ben!

benlee · 25 April 2014, 11:10 PM

Great feedback and comments guys!

I am very close to getting one.

Tridor · 25 April 2014, 11:14 PM

The YM 1 doesn't seem to get a lot of love ... but I think it looks great.
