Rolex

Picture Tests on the Yachtmaster.

 


Same watch, same backgrounds, two settings.

The first picture has been taken with the " Program " mode, which allows some manual settings such as the exposure and the flash.



Not bad, the big advantage is that you are able to take quick pictures, in this configuration, which are still nice.

But the Creme de la Creme is the whole manual settings: You get more depth, a better resolution, the big con is that you spend two minutes to take only one photo.



As for the Yachtmaster, it is certainly my favourite modern Rolex.

More original than a Sub or GMT, very sporty, yes, but without forgetting to be elegant, there is some nice work of conception and design, here.

And it was the first, if I am not wrong, to introduce the maxi dial in the modern Rolexes.

What to say about the grained platinum dial? A gorgeous lightcatcher, really envouting.

As for the background, it is certainly one of the favourite place for us, watch nuts!

Best,

Nicolas

... Love the dial an red trotteuse! Are you using a new camera? Background... Rue du Mont Blanc, near the bridge? Geneve? .... Ah! Bucherer... that background brings memories of a little nice horologic story about a Rolex in my collection, bought there in... 

A big love story with this YM, Abel.

So different, so appealing, so strong... It is a keeper for me, and a watch I highly recommend to the others. As for the City; yes, you got it right, Geneva. A new Calmera? No, not for the moment, but I try to use more and more functions on my D Lux 4... ... 

I can see why..

Such an elegant & subtle piece with a nice touch of red colour . Didn't realize it has the maxi dial as well. So much info. on this one post - photograhy lesson and a map of where to look for treasures! Best fernando

Exploring the possibilities of your current camera, step by step, is great, my friend.

How many of its functions do we know and, therefore, use? Maybe because the YM is so special that I find it so interesting? There is nothing else in the Rolex collection which is like this YM. Best, Fernando. Nicolas

Nearly acquired this instead of my GMTiic...

...but I thought it was a little too shiny for a sports watch. I do agree with what you said, the platinum certainly does capture light!

Shiny, the bracelet is, without discussions. But the rest of the watch is matte.

But I see what you mean, as I love the GMT II a lot, too. In my wish list, although not my priority, for the moment. Best, and thanks for viewing. Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2012-02-19 23:00:34

The YM seems to polarize so many opinions, but you are right about the dial being so unique that it's hard not to love this one. Enjoy!

It has indeed always polarized opinions, that is absolutely true.

I wish I will be able, one day, to make a reveiw on all the versions which existed, since 1992.... 20 years, already... Maybe it will soon be discontinued? Best, my dear friend. Nicolas
