...seriously?...you are joking right?

Love the YM. It is an elegant watch and unique in rolex's lineup. Only watch, propably not but a definite yes. Love the blue as well.

The best part about the new blue YM, is that even the best pics I have seen, can't come close to how amazing it looks in the flesh! This coming from a guy that is all about the Sub's. Truly a home run when you see it in person!

Love the new blue, but with the YM something feels off to me about the bezel.

fastmd · 13 June 2013, 09:03 PM

Never liked it much, but the blue dial looks great!

Here's my first wrist shot...via iPhone so pardon the quality.

I second that comment. I posted on this thread earlier, but I am so taken by this blue dial YM, I thought I'd check in again. I am trying to figure out a way to pay for both the watch and my wife's lawyer.

It is designed with a yacht-mindedness. What is more likely to happen is to be questioned for the tone of your post...there's nothing to look down at regarding the name.

I love the model shown below, it's incredible. It was just to hard for me to read at times.(Sold it) I think it's one of the more better looking ROLEX watches out there. The blue dial is just so so for me, I need to see it on my wrist.

Sometimes electronic media can be a funny thing. I realize 99% of you probably never gave a second thought to the name Yacht Master. I meant that it was a terrible name for ME. I have no other comrades who are interested in watches. Most of my friends and associates wear G-Shocks and Suunto or no watch at all and the thought of spending more than $500 for a watch would strike them as absurd. They are the kind of folks who would photoshop a captain's hat on my head and email it around and then when I left the office I would have a sail and rudder mounted to my car. Truly, I work with a bunch of 40 year old 8th graders. One has to be on constant prank alert. But they are also the best friends a guy could ever have.

I have my 116622 never regretted. I admit the blue dial is stunning but i can see myself "getting over it" eventually but for me the platinum dial is forever classic thats why i chose it over the blue when i held both in my hands. My YM is still my favourite day watch, and the fact that so many people who dont know much about watches mistake it for a Tag Huer makes it all the more special for me as a filter of those in the know and those who arent.
