Thanks all for the warm welcome. I chose the rhodium because I first saw a platinum bezel/face Yacht Master in the 5th Ave. boutique and thought it was just amazing. When I recently saw the rhodium face, I liked it even more as it appeared to have chameleon qualities. The blue second hand and lettering somehow sealed the deal for me as the color was subtle yet it just popped. Amazing work of art and I was suprised how it sounds when I put it to my ear.
