During this years Baselworld, I paid the guys over at Rolex a visit and was lucky enough to shoot the new Yacht-Master Everose Gold on Oysterflex (yes that is now a thing)

You can read the full write-up here, though it would be interesting to hear what peoples opinions are on it?

otisc · 27 March 2015, 10:38 AM

Really nice photos.

Personally, I am not a fan of the watch. Looks like a Bamford Sub.

BZA · 27 March 2015, 10:56 AM

Great write up and pics - now go cover the daydate40!! :-))

kilyung · 27 March 2015, 10:58 AM

As soon as it's offered on bracelet...

viper9669 · 27 March 2015, 11:00 AM

Thanks for the write-up, looking forward to handling one when it arrives at an AD.

sea-dweller · 27 March 2015, 11:03 AM

That is a beauty!

Bexsonn how did you get the information on the pricing? I thought the watch was going to be priced around 25k usd.

luvsub · 27 March 2015, 11:38 AM

Nice photo.

cathy liebchen · 27 March 2015, 11:41 AM

I love this model

DubaiWatchGuy · 27 March 2015, 11:42 AM

Looks great but it wouldnt be my thing !!

Shem · 27 March 2015, 12:00 PM

I love it. This and the platinum DD40 have given me serious pause.

tkerrmd · 27 March 2015, 12:07 PM

Think it's a great look and fresh stuff from Rolex

threemonkeys · 27 March 2015, 12:11 PM

I like it. It's a bit edgier by Rolex standards. I can see it really doing particularly well with the younger crowd.

watchwatcher · 27 March 2015, 12:13 PM

Sexy.

Old Expat Beast · 27 March 2015, 12:23 PM

My concern is that after a few weeks in hot weather and the ocean, you're going to have an expensive watch on a smelly rubber bracelet. Seems odd that Rolex put a rubber strap on one of the 'divers' least likely to go diving...and not to make it an option instead of standard.

TheMethod · 27 March 2015, 12:23 PM

I didn't like it at first (Baselworld 2015 announcement day) but it's slowly growing on me more and more.

Mystro · 27 March 2015, 12:27 PM

Like the head of the watch but the plastic strap should have had a conventional buckle. I don't want a rubber/plastic bracelet but a rubber dive strap. One of the advantages of a rubber dive strap is you don't have a large clasp to get caught on your gear and get all scratched up. The Rolex rubber strap kinda defeats the purpose of being able to quickly adjust the strap as one would with a traditional rubber dive strap.

Wllnv19 · 27 March 2015, 12:38 PM

Love the case, dial, and bezel not a fan of the rubber strap.

dsk28 · 27 March 2015, 01:01 PM

Would like to see this model on leather

Ravager135 · 27 March 2015, 01:40 PM

I think it's a good look for the Yachtmaster. The rose gold looks great with the black dial and bezel. I am personally not a fan of the new rubber strap, it makes the piece look confused. If anything the rubber strap would make more sense as an option for a stainless Submariner. If they offered the YM on a bracelet I think it would really look great.

Not a bad alternative either.

evo63 · 27 March 2015, 02:24 PM

I love that Rolex has developed a strap like this. Not exactly sure what elastomer is, but from what I have read, it is not rubber, hence shouldn't have the issues rubber is prone to. Also love the Bexonn site, watches and single malt scotch, what's not to like?

Hairdude1 · 27 March 2015, 02:30 PM

I really like it!

roadking40 · 27 March 2015, 02:46 PM

I think it is stunning. The photos on the wrist look great. Can't wait to see it in person. Nice review btw.

Fiddler · 27 March 2015, 05:37 PM

"Really nice photos.

+1

Had this exact watch been designed by Bamford (and it looks like it), many here would have howled and screamed, "Sacrilege".

Hey, the Rolex PR team told me the price during my meeting ;-)

Thanks. I'm currently in Scotland at the moment go from one distillery to the next. So I've had one week of pure watches (Basel) and now one pure Scottish whisky... Things could be worse :)

travisb · 27 March 2015, 07:45 PM

It's a nice piece but not for me.

HL65 · 27 March 2015, 07:46 PM

...but it's not a dive watch.

I like it. Rose gold makes this a stand out.
