Rolex Yacht-Master Everose Oysterflex BaselWorld 2015

Key Points from the Discussion

• The new Yacht-Master Everose will also be available in 37mm, making it suitable for smaller wrists, and its rubber strap design is considered a bold, 'un-Rolex' move by some, adding to its appeal.
• Rolex's Oysterflex bracelet is not a mere rubber strap; it features a flexible titanium and nickel alloy metal blade overmoulded with high-performance black elastomer for durability and wearer comfort.
• The Oysterflex bracelet challenges third-party strap alternatives and marks a new direction for Rolex, with the Yacht-Master line potentially becoming the most modern in their collection.
• The new Yacht-Master's case design, with its square sides, suggests a potential standardization across Rolex's sea-themed watches, aligning them with the aesthetic of new Submariner models.
• Some collectors expressed concern that the new design might become dated quickly, preferring the enduring classic aesthetic of models like the Submariner.
• The new Everose Yacht-Master is praised for its sporty yet luxurious appeal, combining a matte dial and ceramic bezel with a rose gold case and rubber strap.
