Sunday picture: Yachtmaster on the Rocks.
A great and old companion which gets a lot of wrist time, lately... Best, Nicolas...
Great photo.
This is the watch that I always want to get but never end up getting. Worse still is I end up with another watch. Last time I try I end up with my 2nd Panerai. Now I see your picture. I want to get it again. Let see what happen. Regards Tyler
Love it.
I think the Yachtmaster is one of the best looking Rolex designs. Heard it was meant to be the new Submariner when developed. Also heard it might be discontinued.
It will be discontinued
But when? The first YM came in 1992, if I remember it correctly. And the platinum version some 5 or 7 years after... So yes, one day it will disappear from the catalog, and like many artists, its time of glory will come... Once dead. Best, Nicolas
Great shot of a great watch nico
I got this for my wife last year and toyed with getting teh gents size for myself. Somehow I fund tthe smaller proportions of the lady's version lends itself better to this watch... maybe I need to put it in the wrist again.
You know my strange journey with this watch.
Bought it in 2001, sold it in 2005... Rebought in 2008. " Can't live " without it. It is such a particular Rolex! Best, Nicolas
That´s a most gorgeous watch, shown in the great photo it deserves! ...
... Enjoy so much my friend!! Best cordial regards, Abel.
I will post later some much better photos.
I tried to use the manual settings on my camera, and the outcome is pretty cool. Will post later. Thanks for your kind words, my friend. Nicolas
I've always believed that this is one of the....
Most underrated Rolex watches. Not sure why it's not more popular - lovely! Ross
The fact that it is under rated is also part of its interest.
Those who own it are big fans. The others have to discover it, and, as for any other great watch, the more you live with it, them ore youb appreciate it. One of my very favourite modern Rolex, definitely. Best, Ross, and thanks for your input. Nicolas Thi...

Well, the YM is nothing else than an elegant Sub...
One for a Captain, a Commander.... A toolwatch which has a lot of style. Funnily, it was quite impossible to get one, from 1999 to 2002. After, it was much easier. But it was also the case for most of the professional Rolexes. If your road crosses the Yac...
I love it!
Hi, Nico, The YM has lately been growing and growing on me, and with pictures like yours, the interest just gets higher! Enjoy your Sunday, hermano! Un abrazo fuerte, Alejandro
A watch which will be perfect for you, my Mexican Hermano. ;) Thanks, Alex.
Wait, I am wroking on a very short series iof high res pictures... Or how to turn dreams into relaity. Un abrazo, mi Querido Amigo. Nicolas
totally agree....imvho...the YM is a classic in its own right..
its been described as many things.... a fake sub for instance... but actually...it represents Rolex, in so many ways for the modern 00's era back in the 50's and 60's the old tool watches had a role to play, but lets face it in todays world of technology,...
That grey dial really works! Very nice picture...
..I was wondering where your Sunday picture would be this weekend! (just found this, I had convinced myself it would pop on the JLC page!!) cheers Tony
More to come in the JLC forum.
But for the moment, this one was more than a pleasant companion, this week end. Best, Tony. Nicolas
Hermano...
Rolex took one of it's timeless designs and gave it an elegant touch with that bezel and dial color. The red seconds hand only emphasizes the sporting nature of this watch. Lovely watch. You keep coming more and more from your hat!!!! Best my friend. René...
The red touches, although subtle, add a lot to the YM, indeed.
It dynamizes the dial, it gives it life, and adds a lot of charm. A watch to fall in love with, but an old one, as it is in my collection for quite a long time, if you consider that I bought it in 2001, sold it in 2005 and rebought it a few years later......
Don't tell your wife, but....
That kind of re-encouters with an old love, ahhh.... Of course she's a keeper my friend He he! Best regards Hermano René
Blue or grey, north and south...
But I thought you were alqso in love with the YM??? Ask your daughter, if you don't remember well. Best, Nicolas
Very nice
I like the dial on this particular watch. It compliment the Case color very well. Nice combo!
so funny my friend . . .
wore mine today to the office after not wearing for a long time . . ..and smiled at my wrist several times wondering why I don't wear it more often. It's one that doesn't get enough love from some . . ..but once you wear it you understand. Great photo!
Exactly the same, here, Sean, my friend.
And in summer, it is even better, wirth its dial sparking under the sun. Best, Sean! Nicolas
