Well, I've seen such a post for the GMT and another sporty rolex.
I made the same thread for the green sub 16610 LV

But I don't know if there is such a special thread for the YACHTMASTER

I'm not yet an owner but hope to buy one somewhere in the future.

The YACHTMASTER I is imo the most underappreciated Rolex

Somethimes it's called the captains submariner

So if you're lucky to own one or you have some things you want to tell or ask about this gorgeous Rolex ... post it here

Comfortable due to the slimmer case, smart with the PCL and classy with the dazzling Platinum bezel and dial.

Sorry terrible picture of my desk jockey abused YM.

Still love it though.

Puffy · 11 May 2011, 05:46 PM

I'm in the club too

dddrees · 11 May 2011, 08:01 PM

Bad PIC, but I'll play.

Very classy and comfortable watch.

Dedot · 11 May 2011, 09:24 PM

After soo many times looking at the yachtmaster, this starts to grow on me more and more. I'm looking to purchase a white/silver dial sport watch and this might fit criteria (except for the $$). Definitely one of my future purchases....someday...

Anyone with 35mm wrist shot?? thanks

mtrunner · 11 May 2011, 10:18 PM

It is definitely under appreciated. If they would update the bracelet this would be at the top of my list.

RobynLikesRollie · 11 May 2011, 10:23 PM

I've had mine for only six months. Bought new Mid size. Wanted a bigger Rolex. Having buyers remorse because it's a little too sporty for me. I also have a 26mm two tone and I tend to wear that more. I hate when that happens!

watchf · 11 May 2011, 10:30 PM

If you look at the pics posted of the YM on this thread there seems to be different between the older ones (without rehaut engraving) and the newer ones with rehaut engraving). The older ones have more of that dazzling effect in its dial with grainy platinum while the newer ones looks uniform in the texture and colour which doesn't have as much of that dazzling effect.

I wonder what was the reason for Rolex to alter the dial, doesn't seem like an improvement to me in fact the opposite.

Mine has the rehaut engraving.

Chris B · 11 May 2011, 11:05 PM

Great watch, never seen a bad pic yet

Here's the one I bought for my son a few yrs back, wearing stickers in the pic & it still looks gorgeous

Ultraman · 11 May 2011, 11:23 PM

Awesome pics, guys! The YMs are beautiful! It is the first Rolex that I love! Funny it is not in my collection yet..

stones · 11 May 2011, 11:41 PM

I became a member in February. So glad I jumped prior to the price increase! Love it - it's a great piece!

JJL · 12 May 2011, 12:50 AM

Ive been a member for about 6 months - absolutely stunning watch in person, and in my opinion goes with anything from jeans to a suit, and matches any color. Couldn't be happier!

I don't think there is any difference, could it be the quality of the picture ?

mrloneranger · 12 May 2011, 02:22 AM

Here's mine, after selling my Emergency she is now my daily wearer. Who needs another watch when you have a Yacht-Master.

2th Dr · 12 May 2011, 02:33 AM

This was my very first Rolex, and still my crown watch...

I agree that the dial change was not a good one. I 'd also like to know why Rolex changed the dial texture.

I feel so lonely because I'm the only member in the Triple Red Yachtmaster Club.

Every time I see your TT YM Mark, I go weak at the knees!

That dial is killer!

ciscopro2000 · 12 May 2011, 01:54 PM

Love the YM. Hope to someday get one.

Davidco · 12 May 2011, 02:20 PM

Love the YM, thinking of selling or trading the Polar Explorer II for one, just not positive I want to do that though...

phampau · 12 May 2011, 02:59 PM

If only it had the new clasp/bracelet design. Beautiful nonetheless

FremStar · 13 May 2011, 02:40 PM

I'm late to the party but I'm glad I'm here!

Schiada · 14 May 2011, 08:19 AM

I'll play, cell phone pics. Let's see if these translate at all? Little different than what we usually think when someone says YM.

EDIT... FAIL lol. Guess I'll be dusting off the camera tonight.
