The Most Underrated INCOMING

My parents got this for an event present for me!

You do not hear too much about this one, but the Rhodium dial and blue hands are special. The wrist presence is amazing, it has a great weight but the slender profile makes it feel streamlined.

Really growing to appreciate this watch, sporty and dressy.

I would say that, if anything, the Yachtmaster is under-appreciated.

Congratulations.

It's a beautiful watch and deserves a lot more respect than it seems to get.

It may not be a part of the Instagram Hype Club but I wouldn’t say that it’s underrated. It’s a stunning watch!

As long as it keeps getting ignored until I can get the blue dial YM, I’m fine with that...

There's something to be said for having an appreciation for the under-appreciated.

That scored me some nice watches at some good prices.

I couldn’t agree more. That is the way to do the Rolex game from AD currently. The “hype” stuff is just too much, even if you do just like them for aesthetics and ignore the value part... which I do.

Agree it’s underrated. Haven’t seen one in the wild yet. Enjoy your watch.

Congrats! Looks amazing.

I recently picked up my blue dial, they really are stunning.

The Rhodium dial is growing on me more now. For me, the blue dial is still perfection however the gap between the other dials is getting smaller!

I love that model and it’s one of my favorites especially since you don’t see a million of them around! Such a nice gift from your parents!!!
