I purchased the Rhodium dialed Yachmaster back in 2021 as my second purchase from my AD. Prior to this, I wasnt a fan of most Rolex watches, in particular the ones I always saw in the wild (the Sub, the Explorer, and a variety of fluted DJs). It was the first watch I wanted from the brand, but I ended up purchasing a domed bezel DJ to grease the wheels (since sold).

Following this, I did buy a VTNR earlier this year (I’m left handed) but still think the Rhodium DJ with the blued seconds hand is their best looking watch. The way the light catches the dial doesn’t happen on many of their other watches. What do you all think?

I prefer the YM’s bezel to the Sub’s. Not a fan of this particular dial colorway though

Nothing like a Sub that can’t dive for $2,000 more…

I still prefer the GMT II, which I think is the best watch Rolex make. But I did try the YM 40 on back to back with a Sub before buying one. Next to it, the Sub was so clunky. It felt more like a Seiko.

The problem with the YM is, posting pictures of it is usually pointless. Online it just looks like a silvery watch. In person it’s an absolute feast of texture wrought in platinum, rhodium and stainless steel.

One of for sure

I love the yachtmaster but I have about 3 watches from Rolex that I think are better looking.

It’s definitely up there, imo. A new customer of mine had one on the day I met him, I called it out from 10 yards away.

Aren’t you supposed to wear it on your left arm?

Better than the now-vanilla Sub…
