Ever since i saw the blue dial Rolex Yachtmaster at a watch meeting , i just could not get it out of my mind . The combination of platinum against a blue dial was a beautifull sight to behold . So when Thomas Chrono had one for sale , i jumped on it . My Chopard LUC had to go unfortunatly , and i know i will miss it . The Chopard is a fantastic looking watch , with a great caliber inside , and is one of the best watches i have ever owned . Anyway back to the Rolex . The polishing details on the yachtmaster are the best i have ever seen on any watch . Just take a look at the polished numbers on the bezel and the edges . Nobody , and i can include Lange or PP can finish a watch case like Rolex . Maybe it is the steel they work with or they have polishing machines that are unique to Rolex .
The YM as got a ridiculous name in my opinion . Who the hell but a idiot with to much money would ever use this watch on a boat . This is a daily wear watch that doubles as a dress watch . And it does it better than any watch out there . It is the right size 40mm , very robust and waterproof to 100m . At the same time it has the refinement and finishing details that match many dress only watches . In other words it is a elegant piece of watchmaking art with a robust basic caliber .
I thought about getting the middle polished links on the bracelet brushed , but have decided against it . This watch is all about how to do bling and sophistication together , so i will not change it . I have considered this watch in the past as a change from the endless Subs and Dwellers , but the washed out platinum dial always put me off . Rolex by changing the colour of the dial have completly transformed the look of this watch .
There are many reviews of the YM so i will not bore you with details . It is a watch that you have to look at in sunlight and electric light , because the effect the light scource gives the dial and the whole watch is well worth a look . Some have said that a Sub is the go anywhere do anything watch . But i have always found the older Subs to be more Tool compaired to the modern models that are polished and priced out of the Tool category . I wanted a beautiful looking watch like the Chopard , because to be honest i am tired of looking at a dull lump of metal on my wrist , no matter how good it is . I have for the most of my life been a follower of the bauhause design in watches , prefering the functional over unnecessary details on a watch . Today i wonder if it is possible to combine the functional with the beautiful . I think the YM is quite close but not perfect . It is not a watch made for rough treatment . I am sure it can take any amount of rough treatment , but it will look like hell on a bracelet afterwards . And you will be using more money in Klarlunds polishing department than the watch cost you in the first place
It should keep its price very well because demand is higher than supply from Rolex . The combination of platinum and polished steel is not often seen in the watch world . It is a winning combination that makes the YM look even more expensive than it is . It puts any gold watches i have owned in the shade . It is not a discrete watch at all , so expect to get noticed while wearing it . Especially if you flash it in a shop with bright lights . So if you are looking for discretion this is definitely not the watch for you . It is a very very comfortable watch to wear , the case is slightly lower than a Sub with more rounded edges on it . It is not a watch for everyone like the Sub , but i think it has a place in the Rolex line up for anyone who wants something that dares to be different .[url]"http://watchflipr.com/reviews/rolex-yachtmaster-blue-dial-second-generation-116622/">http://watchflipr.com/reviews/rolex-yac ... on-116622/[/url]
