YM40 impersonating other models whilst on holiday!
A bit tongue in cheek this!
Just back from a vacation in Rhodes and my YM40 (my favourite sunny day watch), was a travel companion. It never left my wrist & did its master of all attires role very well. In and around the pool & spa, it did a modicum of dive watch stuff pretending to be a Sub:- There are many ancient sites to see in Rhodes (and many stone scratch possibilities!!), so it had a go at being an Explorer II;- In the evening for dinner (after a good microfibre buff up!), it was dress watch time - move over DayDate!:- As I said, a lighthearted post but one I think that shows how flexible & suitable this underrated reference is in many circumstances. Also when travelling, it flies under the radar a bit. Anyways, the weather back in the UK will now be rubbish for 6 months, so the YM will go away for a while and the SD43 will get some wrist time instead!! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Adventures of a Yacht-Master, i love it! Great pictures, thanks for sharing.
The YM is a fantastic watch. The SD43 is also very nice and they make a great pair, they complement each other. |

Totally agree. I have never owned or wanted a Sub but I had two Yachtmasters back in the day, I think it’s more versatile. The blue dial like your’s still tempts me from time to time.

I love the YM! It's a Sub for those of us that refuse to be bland. I know that I will eventually own one! Thanks for sharing the amazing photos, OP!

Looks great in the pics OP… you’ve managed to capture the allure of the dial well.
Hope you had a great holiday and made memories with this stunner of a watch. |

It's a great looking watch but it will never be a Sub with that bezel.

Looks great, and in that setting, too! This model has grown on me a lot over the last several months. Yesterday evening before dinner I happened to drop into the local AD and had the chance to try this very watch on. It just may go to the top of my list.

Great story, beautiful YM40 can’t do wrong with a blue dial.
