Hi all,

I'm in a bit of a dilemma, I need to choose between the 2012 yacht master blue dial

and the daytona black dial

tough one isn't it =\ your thoughts ?

padi56 · 17 July 2012, 04:45 PM

Simple answer try them both on the one that smiles back the most thats the one to buy.
Only yourself can choose the watch that you want too wear for the next 20 plus years both quite different watches.

STEVEad1 · 17 July 2012, 04:51 PM

Easy question to answer... YM. Why? I like a big watch and if you put them both on the Yachty just looks bigger. Plus the new Blue Face just looks AWESOME....

blunder · 17 July 2012, 04:57 PM

Not at all!! Daytona gets it easily.

simone71 · 17 July 2012, 05:00 PM

...daytona of course!!!

Very tough IMHO. I live the blue disk ayM with the upgraded clasp. On the other hands the Daytona I'd great but I homage the ND function.

STEVEad1 · 17 July 2012, 05:03 PM

How'd you get your hands on the new YM? Are they available now and if so whats the price?

Looking at your spelling, been having a few toddies?

Gerardus · 17 July 2012, 05:07 PM

YM for me because of the "date".
Like them both , difficult choice.

I didn't thats a very rare photo that I found while I was googling :) However our AD in Kuwait told me that it will be out in late July or mid August and the price will be around 14K =\

kmac666 · 17 July 2012, 05:43 PM

Daytona. Its the classic.

beaglehusky · 17 July 2012, 05:45 PM

Daytona!

RoLeX_Q8 · 17 July 2012, 06:03 PM

looks like the daytona will get the most votes .. I just wanna know what makes the YM so catchy to me =\

bardm · 17 July 2012, 06:23 PM

The YM is great. The Daytona don't do much to me

Feras · 17 July 2012, 06:40 PM

Try both of them first, then decide. But in general i would go for the Daytona, unless i own a yacht ( or even a small boat with 2 engines ) then i would buy the yacht master

Just my .02

Singslinger · 17 July 2012, 07:05 PM

Yachtmaster for me. I think the blue dial is beautiful.

Psmith · 17 July 2012, 07:10 PM

Hi Abdullah

The new YM is a beautiful watch and would be my choice between the two. However, I might be tempted to wait for next year's Basel to see if any interesting new Daytona models are released e.g. with the ceramic bezel (just my guess, of course). If you cant wait that long (bearing in mind that new models will not be available until later in '13), then I say go for that rather lovely YM

freddyttt · 17 July 2012, 07:15 PM

I have been saving hard for the YMblue

but then again i have to see it in person to know for sure how it looks and feels.

11550 is the US price

swissautopro · 17 July 2012, 08:34 PM

It's a tough choice.

For me, the Daytona ... I think ... wait.

That blue looks pretty good. Maybe the YM ... it has a date.

No, the Daytona ... it has all those pretty sub-dials and functions to play with.

Or possibly the YM ... less of a chance of seeing that in the wild.

I'm confused!

Good luck.

navthedon · 17 July 2012, 08:55 PM

Day all Day

zidaneong · 17 July 2012, 09:06 PM

Daytona. :)

HL65 · 17 July 2012, 09:08 PM

Doesn't matter much what we think. What do you think? Get the one you like better after trying them both on and getting a feel for them.

FeelingTheBlues · 17 July 2012, 09:12 PM

It will always depend on your tastes, lifestyle and preferences. Having said that, I think I would go with the Daytona.

The Joker · 17 July 2012, 09:14 PM

Close one, but I go Daytona.

JJL · 17 July 2012, 10:11 PM

Really tough choice. I actually like the YM more, but the SS Daytona will most likely hold it's value much better (than any watch for that matter).

Assuming you plan to keep it, and wear it, Yacht!

**note** I'm shocked at how many people have chosen YM against a SS Daytona. Wow.

landroverking · 17 July 2012, 10:14 PM

I'm no help I lust after both.
Wish I was having to make the choice.

00pumpkin · 17 July 2012, 10:22 PM

I think the Daytona would be my first pick between the two. It’s a little more versatile because it has a black face. I do however love the new yachtmaster and it’s the only other Rolex that really calls to me right now.

GEO_79 · 17 July 2012, 10:31 PM

yachtmaster for me...i think is one of the most beautiful rolex.

subtona · 17 July 2012, 10:34 PM

YM for me:

usable function
legibility
red sec hand
date.
