New Rolex Yacht-Master Everose Gold (Live Images)

[Bexsonn]

During this years Baselworld, I paid the guys over at Rolex a visit and was lucky enough to shoot the new Yacht-Master Everose Gold on Oysterflex (yes that is now a thing)

You can read the full write-up here, though it would be interesting to hear what peoples opinions are on it?

Really nice photos.

Personally, I am not a fan of the watch. Looks like a Bamford Sub.

Great write up and pics - now go cover the daydate40!! :-))

[kilyung]

As soon as it's offered on bracelet...

Thanks for the write-up, looking forward to handling one when it arrives at an AD.

Bexsonn how did you get the information on the pricing? I thought the watch was going to be priced around 25k usd.

Hey, the Rolex PR team told me the price during my meeting ;-)

Nice photo.

[cathy liebchen]

I love this model

[DubaiWatchGuy]

Looks great but it wouldnt be my thing !!

[Shem]

I love it. This and the platinum DD40 have given me serious pause.

[tkerrmd]

Think it's a great look and fresh stuff from Rolex

[threemonkeys]

I like it. It's a bit edgier by Rolex standards. I can see it really doing particularly well with the younger crowd.

[watchwatcher]

Sexy.

My concern is that after a few weeks in hot weather and the ocean, you're going to have an expensive watch on a smelly rubber bracelet. Seems odd that Rolex put a rubber strap on one of the 'divers' least likely to go diving...and not to make it an option instead of standard.

Stick it on a nato, then tool/action watch.

I cannot possibly even see this as an issue at all. My Rubber B never became smelly and I would imagine Rolex uses at least equal quality rubber. Even my Suunto rubber straps that endure heat and workouts don't carry any smell. I shower with them, and at times just wash them with soap and water and let them dry overnight, same as my Rubber Bs.

Also, what activity besides wearing it in normal day to day context would someone be using this $20k gold watch that it would cause the rubber to be smelly....I think if this issue is of concern, I would bet it's a problem to do more with the owner than the rubber strap.

I didn't like it at first (Baselworld 2015 announcement day) but it's slowly growing on me more and more.

Like the head of the watch but the plastic strap should have had a conventional buckle. I don't want a rubber/plastic bracelet but a rubber dive strap. One of the advantages of a rubber dive strap is you don't have a large clasp to get caught on your gear and get all scratched up. The Rolex rubber strap kinda defeats the purpose of being able to quickly adjust the strap as one would with a traditional rubber dive strap.

...but it's not a dive watch.
I like it. Rose gold makes this a stand out.

I think it looks great. I'm not a PM guy, but that is stunning.

Love the case, dial, and bezel not a fan of the rubber strap.

[dsk28]

Would like to see this model on leather

Not a bad alternative either.

[Ravager135]

I think it's a good look for the Yachtmaster. The rose gold looks great with the black dial and bezel. I am personally not a fan of the new rubber strap, it makes the piece look confused. If anything the rubber strap would make more sense as an option for a stainless Submariner. If they offered the YM on a bracelet I think it would really look great.

I love that Rolex has developed a strap like this. Not exactly sure what elastomer is, but from what I have read, it is not rubber, hence shouldn't have the issues rubber is prone to. Also love the Bexonn site, watches and single malt scotch, what's not to like?

Thanks. I'm currently in Scotland at the moment go from one distillery to the next. So I've had one week of pure watches (Basel) and now one pure Scottish whisky... Things could be worse :)

It's a nice piece but not for me.

[Hairdude1]

I really like it!
