New Watch

[Dogbash]

Hi everyone, thought I'd put some pictures up of my new watch. Previously my only watch was a fairly low end Raymond Weil so it was quite a step up for me. I always wanted a Rolex but found most of the range fairly bland. When this came out I thought it looked really smart and had to have it. I only went in the jewellers to get the strap repaired on my other watch and walked out with this... oops!!

Really pleased with it so far. I wanted one with the 44mm face and there are very few in the range (I think only this and the Deep Sea, but happy to be corrected).

Hope you like

p.s. the model is Rolex Yachtmaster II all steel.

Like it, a bit different to the more common DS, SD or Sub

[JRewing]

These seem to be heavily derided across the internet but I like them and I see quite a few. Nice choice!

[Dogbash]

Its a brand new model and I'm told there are a short supply (although I'm sure they would tell me that)

[juan king]

That is the only Rolex I have ever seen and wanted, stunning!

It would be helpful if it said that on the watch some where.

Do you sail? Genuinely curious!

I don't dive and have a Sea-Dweller so not having a dig; just wondering if you bought it to use the complication which seems very specific.

Apart from the whopping great YACHT MASTER text, I do like it; as you say, very different to their 'standard' models.

Well done OP- glad you're happy with it.

It's certainly a very distinctive piece.

[Dogbash]

Thanks for the replies.

No, I don't sail. Thought I'd buy this first instead of the yacht first

Its quite a heavy watch but its nice to feel its there on your wrist.

Thanks

Lovely watch with a great complication. Always good to have a bit of colour in your life !

Well, I don't mind Marmite, but...

Still, if you like it, that's great!

Enjoy!!!!

What's the 10-0 scale for?? Any pictures of your yacht??

[Dogbash]

The 1-10 scale is a timer.

I don't have a Yacht, I was being sarcastic. Although I wish I did have a yacht!

This is the watch I would buy if I could afford it..

[richwig83]

Ok so a timer for what? Is it specific for sailing? 10 minutes? Hours?

[PJ S]

Regatta countdown timer – 10 minutes.

[R6VED]

If you like it that is all that matters but I think it is gaudy and vile.

I have a 39mm Explorer 1 though, so the complete opposite of that, much more restrained.

Enjoy it I love mine, the fact that no one recognises it for what it is or even notices it really appeals to me, not something you will experience with that bad boy.

I bought a sailing watch a few years ago so can appreciate the novelty of the regatta countdown timer.

OP - I think it looks quite smart, the only thing I would like to change would be to remove 'Yacht Master II' from the bezel
