In the Platinum version that's the only colour you're going to ever get - Platinum!!

In the TT version, you can opt for white, blue, champagne and slate grey.

Awesome pics. Loved the review. More because of my recently acquired YM in SSYG white MOP dial with rubies. YM is a must have for Rolex lovers.

It makes my itch for a YM even worse and if I scratch that itch, the wife is going to kill me, what to do??

Hi, I have mentioned earlier taht YM is a must have for all Rolex lovers. So scratch that itch of yours while the wife is not looking. Anyway, just go for it even at the risk of being killed. YM is certainly a watch to die for. Good luck.

Does anyone notice some YM has extra space in the "swiss made" writing on the dial? I mean between the word SWISS and MADE.

Yes I am just noticing that also. Why do some YachtMasters have more/less space than others? Is it a newer vs older model?

For example:

"Swiss_Made"
vs
"Swiss_____Made"

Help?

kormaking · 4 December 2010, 12:44 AM

You can see mine says: swiss_ . _made
Anyone?

Yes this is what mine looks like as well. I'm surprised a lot of the experts don't have more to say about it.

I posted something about this on the general board since it gets more viewers but only got a response from "Tools" (who is the one that actually did this review).

He said it could simply be a different printer since they have to change them often to keep the print on the dials sharp and clear. It still seems like a fairly significant difference though and knowing how into detail a lot of these watch experts are, I'm surprised it's not more talked about. Is it just the Yacht-Master or do the others have this same issue (like subs, gmts, etc..)?

Input appreciated!

kormaking · 4 December 2010, 03:49 AM

Mine is K serial. What's yours?

Tunacan26 · 4 December 2010, 04:10 AM

Here is a M serial....Received by AD in August 2010. Does this help?

Oh yeah, it's for sale....

Could F be the last YM with swiss_._made dial? All YM with D,M and Z serial that I've seen are close.

That could definitely be possible, but I was hoping that some experts would chime in with the definite explanation. Feel free to help us out gurus! :)

sea-dweller · 5 December 2010, 03:43 PM

Nice review !

L-16610 · 5 December 2010, 06:37 PM

look at the listprice and the price for a used one
It is without doubt the most under appreciated sportsrolex

codester · 6 December 2010, 03:04 AM

For what it's worth I have a V and "Swiss Made" is close.

solesik · 6 December 2010, 08:29 AM

I have a M and (SWISS MADE) is far apart.

codester · 6 December 2010, 09:03 AM

I should say it's like this--"Swiss_._Made" I think that's far apart but I'm new at this.

kormaking · 9 December 2010, 02:55 AM

Apparently it's not just the "swiss made" writings that has variation, the red yachtmaster font also came with either bold or thinner font. A gentleman in the other forum just made me notice it. Thought of sharing this as a fellow YM owner

richierich37 · 27 December 2010, 02:55 AM

great wee thread and write up on the YM!
i have had mine for almost 4 years now and am still enjoying it!
only problem i have is the crown adjuster doesn't click/stop at the date setting zone!
a tad annoying and one day i will pop it in to the store to be fixed.
i know nothing about watches/rolex's so please excuse my poor terminology and any questions i ask!!!!!
my YM serial no. doesn't match any that the OP put up.............why is this?
my no. is 78750 what does this tell me?
TIA

SpeedDman1 · 17 May 2011, 12:22 PM

I had a friend ask me about this... Have any yachtmasters ever come with diamond-dials? Or are all these yachtmaster diamond-dials that I see after-market modifications? I was under the impression that none ever came with diamonds on the face.

Thanks in advance.

Puffy · 17 May 2011, 05:48 PM

Here are a few pics of my K serial YM, note the fatter YM font - believe post D dials now have the thinner font

Gaijin · 17 May 2011, 06:51 PM

Just picked up a 35mm for my girl from DavidSW.

She will be thrilled.

She caught the Rolex bug hard when she tied the YM on at an AD here.

Should be here in a few days and I will take pics and start a thread.

santiagoe · 6 July 2011, 03:24 PM

The SS/PT version is all steel. The TT version is steel and gold, nothing diffrent from amy other Rolex other than the clasp on the YM has yet to receive the latest upgrade that most of the others have recieved.

dysondiver · 7 July 2011, 12:41 AM

i have ym hands fitted to my 16613 , the fatter min hand really balances things up , in my eyes . had to fit a full set of hands for the lumes to match .
i read somewhere its the thinner case back that makes the different water proof rating.
