Ladies Yachtmaster for my Wife. How does this one look? Lots of Pics!!

I finally convinced my Wife she should have a Rolex. She decided on the Ladies Two Tone Yachtmaster. I found this one at a Jewelry store in New York. K serial number with box and papers. The watch has been re-finished and fully serviced. When they did the re-finish they brushed the lugs. I believe they are supposed to be polished. That was the only thing I could see that I didn’t like about the watch. I am sure I could have them re-polished. The price is $3600 shipped.

First off what do you think if that price? Also does everything look legit to you?

Thanks for your input.

Looks good to me and seems like a fair price considering it has had a service. FWIW, my wife absolutely LOVES her SS/Plat midsize YM!

I have the midsize platty Yachtmaster, and I love it. It's sporty and dressy at the same time, and it doesn't scream "Rolex." Your wife will love it! And the price is very good.

I never understood why the TT yatchmasters don't come with a yellow gold crown!! Kind of odd... all other TT Rolexes come with a YG crown

Good price. My wife wants the same one, but with a blue dial. If I saw it for $3600 I would jump on it.

Well, I ended up buying the watch pictured. I received it today. It looks brand new! My Wife loves it. She actually wanted a Navy Dial but I just couldn't find one close to the same price and condition as the one I bought. I personally think the Slate dial looks better!

Thanks for all of the great comments

Congratulations! That is a nice watch + dial. I have the SS/platinum ladies' size YM and love it. I initially wanted the navy blue face, too, but enjoy the platinum look better.

TOTALLY nuts, isn´t it?

Rolex ....

for me the YM in Middy is a "Woman´s Sub" - dressier and a little more bling, but don´t we want our women to bling a little??
