Vintage modernity
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 modern interpretation of a vintage sports watch I have ever encountered. Whether for a morning swim in the South of France or in the Greek Islands or an evening summer dinner cocktail party, this Rolex will make the - quiet - difference. And in a way that no full gold Rolex ever could, up until now.
Bravo!
Hands on review of the Rolex Yacht-Master 40 Everose
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...
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...
In fact I think you have a different look than me
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...
This Yachtmaster is like a pretty girl...
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.
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
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 quite like this Fx
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.
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...
