My sales rep notified me they just received the 2019 releases and I can take a look at them.

For me, it was interesting to try on the YM 42. The watch has the big submariner look and wears "flat" on the wrist because of the bigger dial (the dial was slightly bigger compared to the 2018 BLNR I was wearing) and regular case size.

Another thing I noticed is the lower half of the new BLNR dial font (GMT-MA.. etc) is a skinner font compared to the older one.

Thanks for posting ! Still waiting to see the SD TT in my neck of the woods.

Thanks for sharing, good to know. Very curious to try the YM myself.

thanks for sharing. Do you have a pic of the YM2 on your wrist?

gastown604 · 9 May 2019, 05:06 PM

Here you go. On the wrist and compared to my BLNR.

Quite underwhelming.

Thank you. Your photo has dissuaded my prior interest in this piece.

The YM looks so plain.

Agreed, doesn't look like a 25.7K euros watch, looks probably better IRL.

I agree...no way worth $26k IMO

Now everyone knows how a sub would look on OF if released unless they spruce it up with a colored bezel or dial.

I’m actually not a fan of any of the watches pictured.

It's terrible and quite possibly the most over priced watch Rolex has ever released.

Got to say that is the reason I like it. Simple, understated, elegant look which makes the BLNR a little fussy looking in comparison.

Indeed. It is one of the most underwhelming pieces from Rolex IMO.

Yep, should have done the red text for some character.

it now looks like a sub, with different style bezel. the whole "appeal" if you can call it that, of the YM was the platinum bezel. it was the luxury sub. not quite sure I like what they did here but i do understand it, they didnt want to release a sub on a strap. thats how they will differentiate the models now

Wow, that new YM does nothing for me.

Monte Cristo · 9 May 2019, 06:23 PM

I’m not sure how I feel about the new YM 42.
I don’t like it when the lugs overhang the wrist.
The YM ever rose is much more striking.

brandrea · 9 May 2019, 08:28 PM

The markers on that YM2 look huge.

Indeed!

Can anyone officially confirm that the dial markers are bigger on the YM?

Obviously the case is 2mm larger than previous but the new markers look almost comically large and out of proportion to the dial.

That said I do like the watch overall. I think that bezel on the YM rhodium dial would look better than the platimum.

Mick8moses · 9 May 2019, 08:36 PM

Agreed the YM looks contrived, no interest at all from me. Now I continue to like the BLNR on jubilee.

I def want to see them in person, but in pictures they are underwhelming. Thanks for posting.

1William · 9 May 2019, 09:06 PM

Interesting watches. I have no interest in the new BLNR but the YM is a watch I want to see in person. I do not believe the YM will be a big seller and if I like it, I might buy one pre-owned when the price hits around 20k or less in a year or so.

watchwatcher · 9 May 2019, 09:56 PM

The YM is awesome, but I don't see it being available for a year or two. I'll just wait over here, patiently...

jrs146 · 9 May 2019, 10:24 PM

Great photos! I’m kinda sorta maybe a little glad that none of them make me want to pick up my phone and call my AD ASAP. Saves some pain in the wallet!

Hmmm, the YM looks really underwhelming and forgive me, cheap!
For that kind of money....

Excellent photos! Really interested to see the new YM in person, I like it in some lights and do not like it in others.

I don’t understand the YM at all. What’s it supposed to be?
