I just purchased a brand new 2008 Platinum/SS Yachtmaster with the Rolex etching on the inside of the dial and was wondering what the little black square.mark is on the left side of the case is. Anyone know what this is? Thanks in advance.

Peel it off. ID tag. You're not the first.

kcmo · 2 October 2008, 03:16 AM

It's just a coded sticker that you can peel off! Congrats on the watch!

BMOPYacht · 2 October 2008, 03:30 AM

Thanks for the responses... What can I say... It's my first Brand New Rolex.

Congrats, Gary.....what a superb acquisition. Hope you enjoy your Platty as much as I do mine!!

Enjoy your YM- you will LOVE it. Supremely comfortable & as accurate as a quartz.

Wear it in the best of health.

jdc · 2 October 2008, 04:58 AM

Congrats on your new purchase

Emilio84 · 2 October 2008, 05:15 AM

Congrats! That is one of my favorite rolexes at the moment. I constantly drool over the one an work friend of mine has. Really stunning in person.

rescue7 · 2 October 2008, 07:06 AM

Congratulations Gary on a beautiful timepiece, wear it in good health.

That's my next watch to be added to my collection.

Rolexitis · 2 October 2008, 08:33 AM

Very Nice purchase Indeed

chicagowatchman · 2 October 2008, 08:35 AM

It's a beautiful Watch! A Rolex Classic!

Bisquitlips · 2 October 2008, 08:36 AM

Congratulations! Welcome to the Yacht Club!

And where are the photographs?????!!!???!!??

WatchTimes · 2 October 2008, 09:19 AM

LOVE IT!
What a great watch, I want one VERY bad but my
next purchase will most likely be a GMT Pepsi or a
Exp II white dial as Id like a 24 hr hand for travel.

Boopie · 2 October 2008, 02:04 PM

Congratulations on the watch! I have that same watch in the ladies' size. I love its look.

Singslinger · 2 October 2008, 02:12 PM

Congrats! I love this watch - IMO, it's hugely underrated and doesn't get the recognition it deserves!

Greenring · 2 October 2008, 02:17 PM

I love that watch. But yesterday, I loved the TT Submariner Bluesy a bit more so picked up that one instead. Still, I admired the YM for its subtle elegance. A great choice.

CKay · 2 October 2008, 04:54 PM

Congrats on purchasing the YM. It is one of the 3 watches on my wish list. Wear it in good health. Life will be good with YM.

Does anyone know the significance of that coded black square? Is this a "secret" method Rolex uses to track their watches on internet sales? Any ideas?

BMOPYacht · 2 October 2008, 11:26 PM

Thanks to EVERYONE for your well wishes. I'm looking forward to enjoying this watch for a long time.

Lol-x · 2 October 2008, 11:32 PM

Gary, congrats, I wish I could see a couple of close ups of your YM, if at all possible, because I really love the look of this watch.

BMOPYacht · 2 October 2008, 11:55 PM

No Problem... I'll take some pics and post them as soon as I get home work

Let me oblige you in the mean time, Steve. If you are planning on getting a Rolex with a date (and I know how lost you feel without the date)

, then Platty is the best way to go. You won't regret it!!

eric23 · 3 October 2008, 04:19 AM

congrats on the new watch!

See JJ...You're not the only one.

Ivy League · 3 October 2008, 05:38 AM

I'd love to get a platty YM once they upgrade the clasp.
$10 grand for that tin can clasp is not good value in my opinion.
