I have developed a passion for the yatchmaster, my grandfather let me try on his ss plat yatchmaster tonight and it felt great on the wrist and was actually heavier than my tt black sub.

I love the bezel on the yatchmaster and i'm thinking about doing a trade for an all gold yatchmaster or tt yachmaster with a blue dial, what do you think trf, i'm losing sleep over this one and i have already contacted my ad in chicago and he has one on standby, should i go for it, help.

P.s the passion for the ym is deep.

If you like it, and you want it that badly, then get it. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

sakuraba · 2 September 2009, 03:57 PM

Not crazy about TT watches, but the TT YM with the white dial is HOT!!!

deserted · 2 September 2009, 04:00 PM

The tt ym with the white dial and black indices is super hot, just trying to keep my composure

Desperado · 2 September 2009, 04:34 PM

both are very good watches...but go for the YM :)

gone-rolex-mad · 2 September 2009, 04:47 PM

Both are great looking watches, I have the TT blue dial, which looks great!

Changmaisausage · 2 September 2009, 04:50 PM

Plat siver dial for me, I love it it's the one watch that I really look forward to wearing it normally stays on my wrist a lot longer than any of my others.

GO FOR IT

dalip · 2 September 2009, 06:07 PM

yep - def YM SS/Platinum - this is THE watch for me in the future - can be worn with everything - and Very Very sweeeeet :)
BUT also check out pre-owned - the YM takes quite a hit at the momnent and you can pick them up virtuallly new for a lot less

erling · 2 September 2009, 07:41 PM

yatchmaster ?? do you mean yachtmaster?

Starwalker · 2 September 2009, 08:25 PM

YM - TT with the MOP dial is one of the best looking rolex's. THe full YG YM is kinda ugly, no offense but would rather go for a YG -GMTc if i had the choice

SDDS · 2 September 2009, 09:01 PM

i like YM go for it if u like it

R1@160@alltimes · 2 September 2009, 09:09 PM

Great watch....get it if it's calling your name

Steve260 · 2 September 2009, 11:14 PM

Deserted - sounds like you're hooked...

I have a SS/Platinum YM, and it is fantastic! I always look forward to wearing it. It's a completely different look & feel from the TT black Sub. Not better or worse, just different. For me, it's one of the most versatile watches I own. Because it's SS, it is perfectly at home as a sport/casual watch. But, the polished center links and platinum bezel also allow it to look great with a suit & tie.

I know the Yachtmaster doesn't always get the attention the Subs, Seadwellers, GMTIIc's get, but I have never met a Yachtmaster owner who wasn't extremely happy with his choice.

Sorry for being such an "enabler", but I think you'll be very happy if you decide to go the YM route! Good luck!
Steve

PS - If I could get a good buy on a white dial/gold bezel YM second-hand, I would probably get that one as well. It looks fantastic (and very legible) in pictures!

sexner · 2 September 2009, 11:55 PM

GO FOR IT.

I love the ss/platinum Yacht Master.

One fine looking Rolex.

Jeez that thing is heavy!

BigHat · 3 September 2009, 12:43 AM

YMs aren't my cup of tea, but I'm excited for you. If the "passion is deep" go get one ASAP.

ASW1 · 3 September 2009, 01:54 AM

Love my Plat/SS

rspike · 3 September 2009, 07:02 AM

DARK_KNIGHT · 3 September 2009, 09:50 AM

Come on.........what's a couple of nickles ! D

Did you buy it or what? Inquiring minds want to know!!!!

sleddog · 3 September 2009, 10:03 AM

Deserted...What style Yacht-Master does the AD have and have they given you a price on it??? Be careful though as they wont give you much on your Trade!!

If its really a deep passion,then I say go for it!!! As long as it pleases you then thats what matters.....

The S/S YM offers a nice mix of sportiness and dressiness. I also like the TT version, either with blue or white dial. It's all good my friend - if the passion runs deep, go for it!
