2 Tone chocolate Yacht Master

I saw one today at my AD and this is one gorgeous watch. I was never really interested in any yacht masters until I saw this one in person. I guess for this price range you could get a Root Beer (or any other GMTs if you are lucky to get it retail price) which makes this model less desirable, but I do find it quite unique.

What do you guys think about this model? Any owners?

It’s a fantastic watch. With the 3235 movement. Given its relatively easy availability at ADs vs grey market prices of GMTs in SS, I wouldn’t hesitate and buy the YM.

I actually really like it and I’m not a big fan of TT. Definitely much better looking in person, the RG on it combined with the chocolate dial is beautiful. Here’s a pic I took wearing it from the holidays.

I think that’s the best two tone I’ve ever seen. I almost prefer it to the RG Oysterflex YM. Very nice indeed!

I like it on pictures, it looks really nice but I've never seen one IRL. I could definitely rock one of these in spite of already owning a YM.

Strangely, it's not my cup of tea from the pictures. But I'm new to the game so that probably means once I see it in the metal or in a year or two's time I'll adore it

This is a very very very nice watch.

In real life its amazing and the color combo is the best. RG + Choco is just a winning combo.

I prefer the black dial to break up the rose gold more.

It's one of those watches you have to see IRL.

I have the black dial and love mine! Was looking to get a Rootbeer but found this one more unique. The oyster case is incredible, a great mix of old school and new...

Tried this on at an AD today, not for me. Found it quite a feminine watch, even at 40mm.

really don't think rose gold works as a two tone whatsoever, but the majority on this forum seem to love the chnr, which i also dislike.

having said that, my next purchase at this moment in time will probably be the rose gold on bracelet chocolate dialk daytona.

I find the feminine look actually appealing seeing I’ll be leaving my daughter my watch someday. When I purchased mine I had the AD try it on to see how it looked on her...

Thanks. It's one of my fave TT watches and the sunburst chocolate dial is better when you see it in the flesh rather than in pics.
