I love the watch but am worried that it will lose its appeal over time va some of the more traditional Rolex Models like the Submariner or Daytona. FYI, I am talking about the Yatchmaster Rosegold Oyster flex band

KarlS · 1 September 2017, 03:07 PM

I got bored after 8 months

HogwldFLTR · 1 September 2017, 03:09 PM

It's too pretty a watch for me.

50hz · 1 September 2017, 03:13 PM

Seems a strange concern. The YM design has been around for some time and the oysterflex band is making it's way onto other models.

Cru Jones · 1 September 2017, 03:13 PM

Like it, buy it, wear it. Or not. Pretty simple.

SpyShops718 · 1 September 2017, 03:22 PM

The YM 40mm rose gold w/ rubber band has no value in the future since the bands are rubber. If the 40mm came with the rose gold band as well and I can put the rubber band on it, that I would consider. I have heard from others on forums that the rose gold Rolexes don't stay nice for long. If I wanted a watch with a rubber band than I would get a swatch, lol.

sager · 1 September 2017, 03:24 PM

Rolexes are timeless, not trendy IMO

superdog · 1 September 2017, 08:57 PM

Only of the only watches I regretted letting go.

I just recently corrected that tho.

I have a sneaky suspicion it'll be with me a long time this go around. I absolutely love it. The rose gold, black, matte combo is amazing. And classic. But I also love rubber straps. So this watch is a home run for me.

peterskinner · 1 September 2017, 09:14 PM

Not destined for the Rolex hall of fame.

DLRIDES · 1 September 2017, 09:25 PM

I think the YM rose gold is a beautiful watch, but I can't take the rubber band.

Rubber on gold ????????????

Pacheco · 1 September 2017, 09:30 PM

I think it's a good looking time piece. Buy well though because resale if you get tired of it will not be in your favor.

AK797 · 1 September 2017, 10:45 PM

Not really trendy, gold and rubber was ten years ago, but it is less conservative than the usual Rolex. If you like it, buy it, you can get a nice discount on one. One of the first watches I ever lusted after was the iconic AP RG Rubberclad.

Ruud Van Driver · 1 September 2017, 11:08 PM

i don't think it's trendy at all.

I looked at one and what puts me off is that most of the RG is obscured and over-powered by all that black. If the outside diameter of the bezel was perhaps 0.5mm less, t would be so much more beautiful.

If I was in the market for a RG sports watch though, I'd be going for the PAM684. An absolute glamourpuss of a Submersible.

It's such a great watch, I'm glad you righted that wrong, Seth.

encarter13 · 1 September 2017, 11:52 PM

I think it is a great looking watch. I would happily wear it!

Ha. That's what I like about it.

I love how the black is most of what you see, with just a bit more than a hint of RG.

Thanks brother. I'm very pumped about it. Won't make that mistake again.

Quicksilver · 2 September 2017, 12:06 AM

I like it. Its not trendy - just different for Rolex. And who can tell whether or not it will be a future classic - no one liked the Daytona when it first came out and dealers couldn't sell them. As long as you like it it doesn't matter.

Uhtred59 · 2 September 2017, 01:04 AM

I guess you like rose gold or you don't. I happen not to, though I would think it is closer to most naturally found gold. But I am just guessing at that.

DocHorton · 2 September 2017, 02:50 AM

Rolex tried too hard on that one. It's one of their worst models, IMO.

Mtlguy52 · 2 September 2017, 02:53 AM

Eom

jrs146 · 2 September 2017, 02:59 AM

It's a very very beautiful watch. It is a bit of a hefty price to come with just a strap, but it would be much more expensive on a RG bracelet. If you like it get one. You could always sell it later.

SDRider · 2 September 2017, 03:00 AM

I don't think I'd ever buy a rosegold watch. I just don't care for the hue.

I do like the YMII in yellow gold though. That is simply a gorgeous watch.

watchwatcher · 2 September 2017, 03:27 AM

Not at all...great watch.

wach16 · 2 September 2017, 04:07 AM

I like it a lot...I dont think its too trendy either. Rubber straps have been "in" for quite a while now

Mtlguy52 · 2 September 2017, 10:11 AM

KrismanX · 2 September 2017, 10:28 AM

derekstlmo · 2 September 2017, 10:34 AM

I'm looking for a good deal on a used one i love the watch

soundserious · 2 September 2017, 10:36 AM

Owned it and love it. Beautiful contrast. The matte dial and gilt print are stunning in person.

Baco Noir · 2 September 2017, 10:47 AM

I love everything about it except the name. I'm not into boating and don't see anything nautical about the watch at all. Still, I've loved the Pt version for a long time and was blown away by the RG version when I tried it on in Vegas. It's never left my mind and I've even considered flipping the AP RO 15400 for it, but I can't part with the RO.
