The Yachtmaster is one of the most underrated and best value models in the used market imo.

I really like the rhodium but then I see the blue and it is gorgeous. Can’t lose tbh.


Only ym I’ve tried on and although not quite smitten it’s definitely an if you know you know model.

The rhodium dial YM is what brought me back to Rolex. It had been 13 years since I'd purchased a Rolex......then I saw that watch and knew I had to have it.

The rhodium dial is amazingly beautiful.

Just picked up the Rhodium from my AD back in April, and has quickly become my favorite watch.

Many thanks to those who expressed their opinion, and thanks to those who still want to do so.

The Blue is not my cup of tea, i have already the Bluesy.

between the 2, rhodium (and I had a platinum for over 10 yrs). And I struggled between rhodium and the blue last year - but ultimately went with the blue.

It all depends on your preference, but for me the rhodium wins.

I actually like the rhodium dial better, but hate the baby blue second hand. Sorry, not much help here.

so, just to be clear (because I was always kind of in the dark about this)...the platinum dial actually IS a hunk of platinum?

I own the Rhodium.

I like the slate color face. It's different than my Bluesy & ND Sub.

I have the rhodium. It wears small with the curved lugs. Its fairly heavy, beautiful in the sunlight. They should have called it the Sub 2.

I guess since the Pt dial is discontinued and the rhodium is closest take your pick. They’re not all that different. My chosen of the two: rhodium

But they’re both lovely so can’t lose imo.

I always was partial to the Platinum 16622... I'm also a lover of that sparkly textured dial :D

Yes. It is a solid hunk of platinum. (and I've actually handled the dial itself and can attest to its weight).
