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.

I love this one as well! You sure don't see them that often and it's unfortunate!

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.
