Any two-tone Yachmaster (chocolate dial) owners in here??

I'm thinking about switching out my 116622 blue dial Yachtmaster, for either a 116- or 126621 two-tone one, with the chocolate dial. I know its not nearly as common as the stainless steel blue and rhodium dials, but man, something about that chocolate dial that just makes me drool (plus, I'm a man who loves a good two-tone). And ever since I switched out my TT bluesy for the full-gold variant, I feel like this would be a good opportunity to bring a TT back into the collection. For those of you who have the two-tone, is it a regular part of the rotation? How's the heft? Thoughts?

Similar colour palate to the rootbeer, which I own. I think its a great looking watch and would be a good addition for you. surprised we don't see more of them.

Had it for 3yrs....loved it, that chocolate dial is amazing. I recently sold it a few weeks ago as I decided to upgrade to the RG OF version. here it is in different lighting. I think its a great addition to the collection

Lovely watch. And the prices on that menu look very reasonable indeed.

that's my one gripe about the modern-day rootbeer. Rolex screwed up with giving it a black dial, it should've been sunburst chocolate, it would made it even more beautiful than it already is.

agreed! that was the big let down when I saw the Root-beer, the chocolate dial would be an instant hit on that. I think the chocolate dial would make the bezel pop more too.

I'm a big fan and I don't normally like RG, but could do an exception for this one. A very classy piece.

Had mine 4 years and still love it. Especially in the summer when the suns shinning on it the dial and rose gold combo is spectacular

I have one and it may be my favorite out of my 20 or so piece collection. It does not match with everything, but it is versatile enough and looks spectacular when wearing browns, tans, greys, earth tones. . It is a very distinctive piece that is unusual yet still very much a Rolex. As others have said, the brown and everose work so well together.
