Yacht Master Blue Dial
I haven't heard much about this reference since it was introduced a few years ago. I tried one on at my AD today and i was shocked at how nice it looked on the wrist. What's the general consensus on this watch?

There's threads in here every week about them. |

A friend of mine recently bought one and it is stunning.
It's been very well received here.

Yacht Master Blue Dial
The YM blue is not so common in the wild as compared to Subs.

Love the blue dial YM. I'm torn between the YM and the 116613LB as my next Rolex.

Been trying to resist this one for a while too. This thread is definitely not helping.

this shot sums it up pretty well, a stunning watch, often misunderstood and passed over for the better known Submariner. I would have room for both if and when funds allowed.

for me, it's platinum dial all the way, but, luckily there are great options for different tastes. the dial is quite nice.

Bezel is very easy to damage, overpriced.

I love mine. Definitely not the most common Rolex.
I've had mine 6 months, don't wear it a whole lot, but I do have a scratch on the bezel. I don't think it's overpriced if you buy from a trusted seller. |

Unbelievable beauty. The raised fonts in the platinum bezel is all the money.
Here's a couple shots of my buddy's, that i had it for a few days. |

Same thing happened to me, I was looking for another Rolex but was shocked at how nice this was, the blue and red work so well.

Pretty awesome watch overall. I have seen more than a couple of them listed on eBay between $8 K and $9 K....
So that means, I could have a relatively rare, great looking watch, for the same price as a "HULK"? I think that is a "No Brainer".....
