Let's see your TT or gold Yachtmaster!
I just got back from a vacation and there was a gent sitting behind me on the plane with the most beautiful TT YM with a blue dial. I'd never seen one in person and was quite taken by it. I realized after a bit of searching on TRF that these are not very common. I would love to see some photos if you guys have TT or gold YM with the blue dial or any dial, for that matter!
Thanks! |

One of my absolute favorites!
All of a sudden I am thinking of the full gold model again which has been discontinued (https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=146952)

I really like the YG yatchtmaster. I started a thread a couple of days ago for wrist shots but it got no responses. I just assumed no one owned one.

Tell me chaps, does the bezel turn/click every second as a sub does? and is it uni-directional?

I tried this on and it pained me to give it back to the AD.
Rob - I probably say this everytime you post that picture, but that is one sharp his/her combo. |

Thanks guys! Believe it or not, this was my very first Rolex, and my wife will NEVER let me get rid of it (as if I would want to)!

Don't see many solid yellow gold Yacht-Masters in general. Just an observation, or maybe it's just me.

I tried this one on at an AD about a month ago and I loved it. I almost liked it more than the DDII.
