Having purchased my TT Yachtmaster in August I fancied the more modern clasp. Although the stamped metal clasps are slim in profile and have been around for years I preferred the newer GMT or Daytona easylink clasp. I eventually got hold of one at enormous cost. It should have been £1380GBP but my supplier let me have it for a whopping £1200GBP. Anyway, I'm happy with it. What do you all think ?

Looks great, it's the clasp that every non-diver sports watch should have

Gerardus · 27 October 2009, 11:59 PM

Super.
But i leave anyway the old-fashioned clasp on my platty.

Alan111 · 28 October 2009, 12:00 AM

1200 GBP?? WOW!! How much does a full bracelet cost?

TABACCO · 28 October 2009, 12:05 AM

javierleon · 28 October 2009, 12:59 AM

Looks Just perfect!!!!! the way should be

I really like that dial in the YM TT

WatchTimes · 28 October 2009, 01:07 AM

Beautiful! Thats how the watch should ship from the factory!

Quite a expense but well worth it if you love it and shes a keeper.

Nathan That looks awesome !!! I wish they start coming that way soon as that will be my next Rolex

deserted · 28 October 2009, 02:06 AM

That looks good ..Totally changes the look of the yatchmaster....

sexner · 28 October 2009, 02:13 AM

That bracelet and clasp is superior in every way, Nathan.

It looks smashing!

kcmo · 28 October 2009, 02:16 AM

Looks great Nathan! Continue to enjoy it.

JJ Irani · 28 October 2009, 03:06 AM

Looks amazing, Nathan. WOW!!

Now I know what this TT clasp is worth - 1200 Pounds, sheesh!!

Wonder what the FULL GOLD clasp would cost??!!

cdnwatchguy · 28 October 2009, 03:26 AM

A very nice update to the watch.

Tony-GB · 28 October 2009, 03:28 AM

That looks superb

The cost is a disgrace though.

sleddog · 28 October 2009, 10:25 AM

Nathan,that looks awesome!!
I would love to do that to mine as well,but it sure is alot of coin!!!
Must have been an Independant watch maker that did it for you??
Now I want to spend more money and do the same...

Actually after trying several independent watch makers (and TRF members) and getting nowhere I went back to the AD that I bought the watch from and they got hold of it for me. I must say it surprised me.

Singslinger · 28 October 2009, 07:11 PM

Complements the watch superbly! Expensive - but ultimately worth it!

PorscheStan · 15 November 2009, 02:41 PM

I just heard from a reliable source that the factory is expected to update the watch next year with the newer clasp. So I am standing by....

Andad · 15 November 2009, 02:56 PM

What do I think?

I think that is one of the best looking watches that Rolex makes and at the price we have to pay - it should come with that clasp.

As my dearly departed Scottish grandfather would have said:

"Twelve hundred pounds be buggered".

Rolesor · 15 November 2009, 02:58 PM

Wow that looks stunning! That may be the most beautiful YM I have ever scene! Congrats and thanks for sharing!

TurboWatch · 15 November 2009, 03:01 PM

The cost for whole TT Sub bracelet is $3375 + tax(quoted by my AD). The TT Daytona bracelet would probably cost about $900 more.

gregdolley · 15 November 2009, 03:03 PM

Wow, nice! So you can swap out the clasp on the oyster bracelet!! I have been wanting to do that on my DD 'cause it has the clasp from the last generation ('04) - brushed finish with no easy-link. But damn, 1200 pounds (~ $2000 USD) for the TT, I wonder how much it'd be for all-RG one on my DD...

bodybump · 15 November 2009, 04:17 PM

I love it!! really look nice!!!This one on a platinum ss...
