What would be your choice out of these two and why ?
I need suggestions since I'm gonna buy one of the two in the coming days!

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think the DJ II only comes in two tone, unless there is a SS model they are releasing?

Both!!

brochblue72 · 28 August 2009, 05:00 AM

Yachtmaster for me!

Noonan · 28 August 2009, 05:16 AM

DJII with a white stick dial & WG fluted bezel would be my choice.

Nakow · 28 August 2009, 06:59 AM

I had been waiting for so long for the SS Yachtmaster , and now the new DJ II also seems to be a hot selling one ! I gotta choose either the Yachtmaster or DJ II in white stick dial for now !I'm soooooooo confused , can't have both either

Alan111 · 28 August 2009, 07:03 AM

I pick the YM. The datejust looks too disproportionate to me. Plus I always had a thing for the plat yachtmaster..

DadsWatch72 · 28 August 2009, 07:06 AM

criggs19 · 28 August 2009, 08:13 AM

DJ, not even close. The Yachtmaster is the ugliest Rolex made.

Bebot · 28 August 2009, 08:34 AM

SS Y/M for me because I have not seen the DJII yet.

Alexwwjd · 28 August 2009, 09:14 AM

DJII is elegant and modern at the same time. Believe me, you won't be dissapointed. There are so many options available unlike the YM.

Yachtmaster I?

Are you thinking of the Yachtmaster II?

As for me, I'd pick the DJ II, SS and WG with the black baton dial. Very nice

criggs19 · 28 August 2009, 09:35 AM

To me, all of them. Just a bit gaudy. They should have Invicta on the face instead of Rolex.

shandy · 28 August 2009, 09:44 AM

Whilst I am not the Yachtmasters biggest fan I would have it over the SS DJ11 any day. I have now seen the new DJ11 on several occasions, normally when this happens I grow to like the watch more, the deepsea being a case in point.

But the SS dj seems out of proportion, the dial is way too big for a dress watch and the writing on the dial too small. Having said that due to some optical illusion the TT versions look much better and if you were giving us that option then I would have voted DJ!

Actually the funny thing is that the SS DJ11 has given me an even greater regard for the original SS dj, what a classy dressy watch and the perfect size for a dress watch, everything on that watch is in perfect proportion and if it was me I would be scoring the older style over the newer!

tcd_psp · 28 August 2009, 10:14 AM

i think it would be very hard not to love either! .........tough times!

What the hell you talkin' about, Chris?

You mean this beauty???

Starwalker · 28 August 2009, 06:56 PM

I HATE the claps on the YATCH-MASTER. Its cool on a sub, fine, its gives it that classic edge. but a dated clasps on a modern watch makes it look obsolete and poorly built. Unless you are getting the TT-YM, I would tell u to by the DJ II, but if i had to pick i would choosea GMT-IIC over the both of the watchs, sorry to add to your confusion.

Andad · 28 August 2009, 06:58 PM

Fantastic pix of a very nice Rolex JJ.

Well done.

Hey JJ. Thanks to your pictures, I'm finally starting to appreciate the YM.

Gaijin · 28 August 2009, 07:56 PM

Great Pics JJ. I vote for the Yachtmaster!

Joelmor · 28 August 2009, 09:01 PM

Well TT YM is not my cup of tea , I already have the GMT IIc ,which IMHP is the best of all , and contrary to that I have to pick either a SS YM or the new DJ II in white dial !

SDDS · 28 August 2009, 10:09 PM

agree with JJ Ym is a beauty

jlopicco · 28 August 2009, 10:09 PM

I am a huge fan of the Yacht-Master. It is dressy, casual and sporty at the same time. The date-just is nice, but to me it is strictly a dress watch. If I had a Yacht-Master I don't think I would ever take it off.

Bon Temps · 28 August 2009, 10:17 PM

JJ, I like that ym of yours more every time i see it.

I beg to differ

The bezel on the yatchmaster is cleary a work of art, i seen one just yesterday on a gentleman with a blue dial instead of a grey dial and that really look awesome, but it's just something about the bezel on the yatchmaster that has a class of it's own.
