Platinum Yacht Master
I went to a AD yesterday and tried on a PLATTY YM
 That bezel is (BAM!) I want one now. Everything about that watch IMO is just awesome.It's sporty but,also kinda dress  I have a TT SUB and, a SD,it's time to go platinum.If I could get some wrist shots that would be great

An awesome watch. One which I have been eyeing on since I was just a kid. I am torn between getting Platty, Pepsi or SS Daytona to add to my watch collection.

Slightly OT, but is that a vintage Strat?

Beautiful watch! I love the bit of red ,the platinum dial, the case size, etc. I just can't quite get myself to like the bezel. Same with the turn-o-graph. Just a personal preference but the big numbers don't do it for me. I could live with it though, if someone gave me one!

If I get a second Rolex this will be it.
Actually I know a certain lady that would really like to own one too.

Yep, I love the YM. Love the size and heft of the watch.
It feels very "substantial" on your wrist. |

The YM is only 12 mm in thickness, so that makes it relatively flat as compared with the other sports models.
It sits nicely on the wrist without rolling over. The comfort factor is excellent and so is the bling!! Nothing beats the classy and distinctive look of solid Platinum!!
