Two of the most underrated watches in the Rolex lineup. Which do you prefer?

I meant to add a poll last time but unfortunately forgot

Seddyspaghetti · 12 May 2021, 12:45 AM

OP. If i wanted the YM look, i’d rather wear a sub.

Had both

I prefer the YM37 as it has more presence. But its also a bit shinier and less toolish due to the high polished bracelet i feel.

OP goes a bit more under the radar. Depends if you plan go wear it daily or not

Doesn’t make any sense this comparison

I was deciding between these (unlike keobneop, lol). I like them both.

YM has a much nicer profile than the sub - not as bulky and maxi. Its more beautiful, and certainly not as much of a cliche. In the end, its a bit too shiny with that platinum bezel though. I did do a mockup of it using some spare parts with the black ceramic dial - in the end I didn't like that either (in spite of Rolex coming up with basically the same thing later in the 42mm version).

Certainly the OP is beautiful and very comfortable to wear. I just can't get over having only three lumed indexes though (the black and the white ones are better).
Definitely more low key with less platinum and no cyclops. Its what I would pick for a daily wearer.

In the end i chose neither. If I had to choose, I'd go for the white dial OP.

Love crown guards and date feature, so OP is out.

GST15 · 12 May 2021, 09:51 AM

YM for sure

A_Milli · 12 May 2021, 10:06 AM

I'll go with the yatchmaster

mussi · 12 May 2021, 10:11 AM

YM40 Rhodium !

Pinchy · 12 May 2021, 10:15 AM

I love the YM but I can't pull the trigger on a metal bezel in the era of ceramic bezels. I just love it staying minty forever'ish.

So my money is holding out for a YM 40 RG. My wife has the 37 YM RG and it's just an incredibly cool stealthy watch.

I prefer the Yachmaster II in YG

gnuyork · 12 May 2021, 01:38 PM

I voted OP (previous gen white dial 39 or 36) for the more everyday aspect...but the YM (in platinum dial would be a close, close, close 2nd choice. I wouldn't say no to the blue or rhodium either.

If we're talking current-gen OPs (I don't like), then it's Yachtmaster all the way.

Only one way to vote.

I love the bracelet but the dial is just too colourful and busy...

Goose 104 · 13 May 2021, 02:47 AM

Easy choice for me - YM all day. But I do also have a DJ.

stockjock1975 · 13 May 2021, 06:18 AM

YM. No contest whatsoever

mike morris · 13 May 2021, 08:49 AM

YM is supersub , OP is entry level Rolex.

Malak · 13 May 2021, 09:44 PM

OP ist classical Rolex.

But the watch is almost completely different... Lugs are different shape and polished, bezel isn't even the same material, different clasp, alot slimmer on height and width, PCL's, different dial options i.e Sunburst, matte.

Would you also say the GMT and Sub are essentially the same too?

To OP - YM 100%

You’re absolutely right. I guess I meant if i were to wear a professional model with date function only i’d rather wear a sub or gmt as I prefer them aesthetically and msrp wise over the YM. I just like the ceramic bezel look on my sport watch.

I do love the YM40 on OF in rosegold. I’d choose that over any OP41 any day.
