Platy Yacht-master curious about your opinions

Hello everyone, I recently purchased a TT Yacht-master with a white dial. I am very picky about dials and love the one I got. I really liked the all stainless Y/M but the platinum dial just left me cold and was a big reason why I went with the TT. Does anyone else think that this watch could use some options in the dial selection department?

Nope...
Only thing Id like to see on the Plat. Y/M is a better
bracelet/clasp.

The face on it looks perfect, subtle but gives it that little extra touch of
class....

Black face would look too much like a sub and a white face just looks fake (as we have seen in some pics of the fake YM's here.)

Sorry...

Perhaps let us know what your ideas for faces are but my .02 cents is no thanks.....

I love the platinum face on the YM, although looking at the DJ dial options (on Oysterworld, I believe) I didn't know Rolex made so many awesome looking dials.

I just think some other dial options would be nice for the line - something made specifically for the YM; possibly blue or white,the right black dial could also work IMHO particularly with the red Yacht-Master text.I think something with a little contrast would be a nice addition to the Yacht-Master line.

Love the Platty just the way it is. But if Rolex had to change one thing, I wouldn't complain too much if it replaced the present clasp with the one on the GMT IIc or Daytona.

The thing I like about the platinum dial is that there is no watch I've ever seen that looks like it.

Cheers,

Chris

Wholeheartedly agree on the clasp, it is an expensive watch - the new style clasp would bring the whole package up a notch.
