YM40 impersonating other models whilst on holiday!

[Wilco68]

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!!

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.

Fun Post! thanks for sharing.

Glad you've had so much fun with your YM, this is how owning a watch should be like

[Ravenburg]

Enjoyed your post. I love Rhodes and its friendly vibe..

[ArtNouveau]

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!

[Farran]

Fantastic shot OP, Obviously you hard a good time with it, wear it in good health.

[knighty88]

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.

[rolph]

Switching to the SD43 for the gloomy UK weather is a smart move. thanks for sharing.

Looks like a great trip and great looking watch! Congratulations!

[garyk]

Great post! Rolex are definitely diverse sports watches. Looks like you had a great trip with a great watch!!

[Robf52]

Great trip. Great dial.

[996marty]

Great looking watch it looks like it had a nice holiday

[Easy Rhino]

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.

[Keiko1811]

Good read. Love the watch!

[Zach69SS]

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


Cheers

Exactly!

[SamArj]

Beautiful and somewhat underrated watch. A tad small for me otherwise I'd definitely own one.

[brandrea]

Looks like a great trip and perfect watch for it

[1st amg]

What memories are made of...great looking watch.
