Any reason why this watch isn’t more popular? hardly any incomings.

[Frank McKay]

Reason I’m asking is because I saw one in the wild today at a 4th of July outing and it was stunning!

This was a recent topic I think. The general feeling was its price. For that kind of money, there are other 'popular' options such as Daytona on oysterflex. It's a beautiful piece but if I had that kind of cash to spend on a watch, I might go further for a Day-date 36 or something.

Well put.

Didn’t realize the price point was on par with the OF Daytona.

It’s $29.7 for the OF Daytona vs $27.3 for the YM OF. After market, the difference is even wider.

No no no.

That piece can be had for under 20k. Show me an of daytona for that price please.

The reason is correct. Other watches have more pedigree in the rolex lineup for 20k or less.

pretty much, great piece but price doesn't make sense to me.

[JodyHighroller]

I have one and absolutely love it. It was my first PM timepiece. It’s still at the RSC, but will follow up on that in a separate thread.

[Benzsiam]

If I want to spend close to 30K for a watch, I would rather spend a little more and get the whole PM case and bracelet.

This really sums it up very well.

I get that logic, but the extra 50g in weight that comes with the full bracelet makes it tough for extended wear for me. So there is a gap to be filled for those who want the PM experience without the added weight.

I can't imagine spending that kind of coin for a watch on a rubber band.

[Rado63]

Yachtmaster everose 40mm is a beautiful piece, but has no hype to push up it's price. Definitely a piece to buy on the secondary market and not at retail. If you can get some hype started for this piece then prices will go up and others will be talking about it.

[OrangeKenny]

It is gorgeous of course. But a solid gold watch on a rubber strap is difficult to wear well. Not as versatile as a full PM piece.
Also, I think the renders look much more pink than real life, so maybe that puts people off.

[P1nky_Up]

Price definitely turned me away from it when I first saw it. Beautiful watch, but you can have some other awesome watches for similar money. Upper teens to low twenties should be MSRP if they wanted them to move quickly.

Agree low 20’s and I would bite. Near 30k is overpriced for a watch with a rubber strap.

Hmmmm,,,, on one hand I agree that a watch on a rubber strap should not be priced over 30k,,,
But the 126655 has a lot of value for its price point (compared to most other luxury watches on “rubber” straps);


It has more gold content( solid case back and substantial deployment clasp with glidelock), it is useful (bi directional rotating bezel),, and .... it hacks !!
All for half the price of other similar Swiss luxury watches .

that comparison isn't really accurate, the price for the 5167r is from the grey market, its retail is like 36k lol

[ltmgeller]

It's a beauty. I got my wife the 40mm for our 20th anniversary.

[Jpccarguy]

It’s a tool watch with no special complications and an older 3135 caliber. Other Rolexes can do the job just as well. CHNR, anyone? Everose GMT II?

YMMV

The new 126655 reference has the 3235 now.

[996marty]

I think they look magnificent

[JRell]

Beautiful but expensive - people like it but not all can afford it.

[acheronsgrief]

They’re easy to find around 20k and it’s one of the best watches I’ve ever owned, always amazes me they’re not more popular.

+1.

[horseShu]

Most people buy for the brand name. So why spend more when you can get a DateJust. And thus you get to brag that you now 'own a Rolex.

Yep. Nice watch but you can get in the club for cheaper. SS is more popular too.

[Elc]

This is one of my favourites. I think it’s a perfect summer watch. Everything else is so hyped up, some of the other references get missed.

It’s not in my price bracket at the moment, but is one of my goals for the future.

[Krash]

I love that watch.

Price is an issue for me. I’m an under $10,000 per watch kind of a guy...

I love mine and prefer it over the OF Daytona, to be honest.
