YM42 Titanium

What do you think? I like the ceramic bezel and Ti combination!

I really like it, although it strikes me as unusual to go with titanium on the YM as it's traditionally a more luxury, bling kind of range. Titanium is more suited to the Sub range IMO. But I do like it - looks great.

A Pelagos look retooled for the Rolex market. I think it looks great personally.

I like it actually. I’m not a titanium person however so not for me. Bezel looks a bit odd with this model. How much is it?

Horrible, but I don’t like Ti so a bit biased. Looks like a fake.

I quite like it, although I would have preferred 40mm and less chamfer. The chamfer gives quite a Pelagos look to the watch. I also would have liked to have seen a strap option on this such as the oysterflex or perhaps even the velcro as seen in the prototype worn by Ben Ainsle.

Looks great, not sure how I'd feel about the light weight thing tough, I enjoy the reassuring weight of my professional models.

I love it. $14K is high. The case fits me better than a submariner based on trying WG YM several times.

Those fat indeces were never my thing. Still, I do want to try it on to see how it wears.

The best Rolex release in years IMHO. The only watch in the current lineup I would buy if they put the older 3135 movement in it.

I think it actually might be mine too. The titanium suits the stealthy monochrome black bezel.

Of course I’d have to see it in person, but in pictures I think it looks fantastic

They should also make it available in the 37mm.

I love YM's , have had my 40 mm for years and woukd consider this if it were a 40mm. Have no desire for a bigger watch of having my cuffs modified. Its £11800 here so not a bad price and sure looks sharp.

YM has very nice curved down lugs. You only need about 50 mm flat top to make it ride totally flat on your wrist.

I like it..I am just unsure of the Ti and its usual lack of luster. I like my things shiny!

£11,800

I suspect in the metal it will evoke the feel of subs and sd of old. The feel of an instrument rather than jewellery.
