I just got back from Maui, Hawaii for vacation. My wife and I visited a Rolex boutique , and being our 10th Anniversary, I pulled the trigger on a his & hers Yacht master everose, for both of us. They had both the 40mm and 37mm in stock. The Oyster flex rubber straps were the wrong sizes so we had to get measurements to get correct strap sizes ordered from Rolex. The watches will be shipped soon and I'll post photos of both un-boxings. They are beautiful watches.

My wife has taken possession of ours... The previous 37mm she wore on occasion, but the 116655 has a lot of presence, and wears it way more often...

How do you like the feel compared to your trade?
looks so good with the gold wedding ring.
Rolex does blues and gold phenomenally

I was as surprised as the dealer was when I put it on my wrist and it was a perfect fit

I am not usually a gold watch guy, but the black band and bezel tone down the bling to a point where it might jump on my list of watches to own.

The Yachtmaster everose with Oysterflex bracelet is the one model for me. The other Yachtmasters have too much bling for my liking. I view the solid gold Yachtmaster with gold bracelet way too pimpy and obnoxious. My personal view of course. The Yachtmaster everose with black bezel, black rubber strap really tones down the bling factor. I'm in my mid-50's and not interested in show off bling watches. The Yachtmaster in everose is pure class. The rose gold color compliments the black beautifully. On vacation in Hawaii a couple weeks ago with my wife, celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary, stopped in at a Rolex Boutique and they had the 37mm and 40 mm in stock. After 2 glasses of champagne and intense price negotiations, I pulled the trigger and bought a his & hers. I don't have the watches yet, as the AD had to order the correct size Oysterflex bracelets from Geneva. I should have the watches next week and will post a photo.

One of the coolest watches out right now. Not really undercover, but feels reserved and with a little YG color it adds a nice twist...personally I love it with more black outfits...congrats...

Never really thought it was all that in looking at pictures. Got down to the Bahamas on a cruise and went into John Bull with my daughters. Our mouths dropped! It was stunning! Couldn't begin to describe how it looked sooo much better in the flesh. Will be my next watch. Congrats!

I love this reference sooooo much. It would already be on my wrist if it wasn't for the fact that the RG color looks terrible against my skin tone. I was so sad the day I tried it on and realized that. Even the saleslady agreed.
