Yachtmaster II

I joined this forum quite some time ago to lurk and try to learn about Rolex. In my opinion, the Yachtmaster II and Daytona are the 2 best looking Rolex watches. I find the Daytona to be too small, since I'm used to wearing bigger watches, not stupid big, but Omega Planet Ocean big. Ive been wanting a Rolex for a long time, and i finally got one. I stopped in to a local dealer, just to check out their selection. I had never been in there before, and didn't expect them to have as large a selection as they did, let alone have the Yachtmaster II that i wanted to look at. Well, they have a pretty large selection, and they had the SS Yachtmaster i wanted to see. Making a long story short, i couldn't leave the store without it. Here it is......

Beautiful watch. A bit more subtle than its YG brother, but still a beautiful piece with a ton of character. You might also like the Sky-Dweller if you like larger watches. I find myself drooling over them whenever I see the chocolate dial with rose gold.

Insize, most definitely. I think the yachtmaster is more of a head turner also. At least is for watch aficionados.

Great watch, unfortunately this model is not flaring hearts of many but it's big solid and last but not least very unique movement ticking inside the case

That's a beauty!
i particularly love the blue bezel.

Congrats on your first Rolex!

Other models with larger dial than the Daytona include Deep Sea Sea Dweller and Datejust II and the incredible Explorer II in either black or Polar white.

Welcome to Rolex!!
