A review I was waiting for as this is a Rolex I like quite much

even though it remains very different from the usual models I look at (white metal Daytonas and Submariners).

I like this black/rose gold combination and I don't find it too contrasted.

I also found that the 2 sizes are very different indeed and the 37 is quite feminine.

I like what they did about the material finishing: matte for the bezel and dial, polished with the case... I like also the writings on the dial, everything is perfect for me on this side.

The only thing I finally find a little "too much" is the buckle in rose gold. It is very long and, next to the black matte strap, I find it nearly more visible than the watch case itself!

Aside from sports activities, it won't suit dressier outfit like a Sub or Dayto can but it will be perfect for casual dinners during summer time and on holidays.

I like it!

Thanks for the great work Fx.

Cheers, Mark

Hands on review of the Rolex Yacht-Master 40 Everose

By: foversta : March 5th, 2016-14:47

2015 was an eventful year for Rolex. The release of the movement 3255 that powers the Day-Date 40 and the presentation of different versions of the Oyster Perpetual 39 are undoubtedly among these significant events. But we should not forget another novelt...

The writing is not consistent. you have a gilt rolex and the rest of the wording is white.

No message body

In fact I think you have a different look than me

By: Mark in Paris : March 6th, 2016-06:43

as I'm not at all used to diving in the Subs history and collections. Hence, I see it just like a stand alone watch, on the decoration side. The white wording gives a little contrast in the dial and balances the minute markings. It also helps not having t...

All white or all gilt, with this small touch of red, would be more harmonious. Here, you just don't get why you have a blend of gilt and white. [nt]

This Yachtmaster is like a pretty girl...

By: amanico : March 5th, 2016-15:46

you see it, you say Wow... And after a while, the risk is that you get rid of it, relatively quickly. That is my main concern with this watch. I thought " Wow ", and I am not a rose gold guy. But I found it cool, and consistent with the Yachtmaster family...

To me it's 'just' a stab at (dare I mention the name?) Hublot's market share.

By: Arie - Mr Orange : March 5th, 2016-16:17

And Audemars Piguets ROO market share. It probably took Rolex a few years to let the notion sink in that other brands could even be more ostentatious and be successful at it. And this is their answer. Let\'s face it; these kind of watches are not for the ...

I was 'wowed' by this model when I first saw it

By: Mostel : March 5th, 2016-18:46

The contrast between the gold, matte black, and black bezel... rose hands... etc... and the unique bracelet... whew! SEX-AY! The new bezel takes care of the really serious problem of the current bezel--its a scratch magnet and the raised numerals really g...

Nog saying it is a sort of Hublot or AP. It is definitely a Rolex. But i do feel it targets that pool of watch buyers that are into that style of watches. ...

I see your point now! [nt]

Vintage modernity

By: RGS : March 6th, 2016-00:35

Rolex did it! They took the more "limited" in production YM line - as compared to the more often seen Daytona, Sub, Gmt - and delivered a vintage twist in the heart of the watch ethusiast audience. Now what? Well, this Everose Oysterflex YM is the most mo...

I quite like this Fx

By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : March 6th, 2016-03:12

But need to try in the metal. I think it is a nice balance of a coloured gold Rolex on black strap and the strap design is definitely very innovative. Thanks for the great review Cheers Robin

Oysterflex bracelet.

By: M4 : March 17th, 2016-06:52

I've had the pleasure of trying on this Rolex YM and loved it. The fit and comfort were exceptional. I'm curious if Rolex will introduce the Oysterflex bracelet on other models, such as the Submariner or even Explorer. It would be a fantastic move in my e...
