Not sure if this has been posted/covered before but saw this in the latest Issue #9 of the Rolex Magazine. Quick and dirty scans to see the details to follow.
How long until this one of a kind prototype becomes available?

I’ll be honest. Not a fan of luxury titanium watches (maybe I’ll change my mind one day), but I’d love the option of buying an official strap like that for my Sub. Or for any future YMs I might get. The watch, much like the regular YM42 looks great! Thanks for posting.

Master_Grogu · 18 August 2021, 01:01 AM

Nice, a 400$ nylon “bracelet” !

ajmacke · 18 August 2021, 01:20 AM

YM42 Hyperlite. Interesting. Has Rolex ever made a production Ti watch?

MONTANTK · 18 August 2021, 01:30 AM

I feel like a heard about this a while ago. My understanding was that this model would never make it to market. It was made specifically for this individual. I could be wrong but that’s what I remember.

drrd · 18 August 2021, 01:46 AM

Saw this a while ago but somehow only just noticed this is caliber 3230, no date.

Cool

(apart from the strap...)

1William · 18 August 2021, 01:48 AM

I like it and would be a buyer.

koronet-kid · 18 August 2021, 01:58 AM

Should be way less expensive than the white gold variant

Jackie Daytona · 18 August 2021, 02:43 AM

Interesting. I haven’t seen this. Thanks for sharing.

I would rather PM, but honestly as I doubt I would ever be able to afford the PM version I would be a buyer.

samson66 · 18 August 2021, 02:45 AM

I don't hate it and like the no-date look

dannyp · 18 August 2021, 03:27 AM

I predict Rolex selling a velcro strap when Brioni sells suit trousers with a velcro fly.

BigAppleBill · 18 August 2021, 03:52 AM

I love the look! This no-date YM, with its superior case shape and matte bezel is the no-date Submariner of my dreams. Please, Rolex, make it so.

DC116710LN · 18 August 2021, 03:55 AM

Very interesting. Perhaps a tease of things to come

asiparks · 18 August 2021, 04:08 AM

It would make for one of the most interesting watches in the professional line.

RLX Titanium eh? Sounds trademarky.....

scooba · 18 August 2021, 05:53 AM

I got all excited about this when the America’s cup was being held and was hoping it was going to be released at watches and wonders in April ,

I would buy this if it came available

fskywalker · 18 August 2021, 05:54 AM

Nice watch !

This is a one off watch made for Ainslee for promotional purposes during the America’s Cup. I suppose it could make it into production one day as some photo type cars do. The Titanium and bracelet were designed around the beating a watch would take driving an AC boat…
I also would be a buyer if it were ever released!

Doood · 18 August 2021, 07:00 AM

I would buy, but would like a date.

prnceofpersia23 · 18 August 2021, 07:01 AM

Very cool.

szabo_martin · 19 August 2021, 01:10 AM

Looks nice. I wish I could like the feel of titanium in a watch

dukie748 · 19 August 2021, 02:02 AM

I'd buy that in heartbeat.

herts9 · 19 August 2021, 02:04 AM

Too close to a silver BB58. Other than the weight, I'd opt for the Tudor.

slus · 19 August 2021, 03:24 AM

I'd line up for one if it were put in production, but my readily available Pelagos on MN strap will hold me over just fine until then. That would make a killer pair of watches though.
