"Baby Blue" Yacht master

[beer]

Does anyone here own one? I have seen a couple of people who bought one to flip it for a profit but no real incomings/pics.....Interested to see some pics/reviews if anyone has one or has owned one for some time..

The blue dial YM? There are people here that own and have owned them for some time...

When you say "baby blue" do you mean the new Rhodium dial with pale blue YACHTMASTER wording and pale blue second hand?

If so Yachtmasters are rarely bought to be flipped for a profit, in fact they're low down the list for retained value.

The baby/sky blue hand is really nice with the rhodium dial and needs it, I went for the blue and red model and the nicer price.

If your intentions are to wear, then visit an AD to try it on for real.
I tried on this beautiful watch 3 times and walked away, stunning as it is in photos I find it looks bland and boring on me.

I concur. Looks fantastic in photos but in person I was underwhelmed.

yes you are right in general but i suppose because it was a new model coupled with UK pricing made it temporarily a good buy at an AD along with most other SS models

Exactly. My wife has the SS/Plat midsize model and tried the midsize Rhodium and was also totally underwhelmed. She preferred her platinum dial despite loving the Rhodium in photos.

There has been a couple posted, not sure on the numbers, and don't think any of them have been flipped as you have said??!

Either way, I like it's combination.

I thought the same exact thing. I was blown away by pictures but very let down in person and much preferred the blue dial (which surprised me.)

I'm the opposite. I love the platinum dial first, but the rhodium with blue hands is a close second. I don't care much for the blue dial at all. That's why there's options. Different strokes for different folks.

I think Sam SC11 bought one and sold it, hopefully he'll chime in.
