Yacht Master Rose Gold Ceramic

[joroz001]

Just tried on the new rose gold black Yacht Master at a Rolex event in Miami. The piece feels and looks amazing, the rubber "bracelet" is softer than implied by labeling it a bracelet. It feels like the vulcanized rubber straps made by RubberB. The ridges on the underside are very flexible and feel comfortable, although I am not sure since the piece was very large for my wrist. The straight ends are a disappointment but they are not as noticeable as one would think.

I wish they manufactured this piece in steel, it would be amazing. I am not a fan of gold. This piece in stainless steel on an oyster bracelet would be the real Submariner upgrade Rolex envisioned in '92 when they launched the Yacht Master. IMHO.

I was there too and tried it on as well. I agree with joroz001. It's a great looking piece!

The strap was loose on me when I tried it on, but still comfortable. Apparently there will be 3 different length straps available, and each can be adjusted slightly as well.

The only thing I didn't like too much about the strap is that it tapers and gets narrow towards the clasp just like the oyster bracelets do. I would expect rubber straps to have that same heft and thickness throughout.
But then again, maybe Rolex designed it this way for comfort.

Sorry for the glare on the picture due to the lighting.
