    Stunning watch! I own the 116622 blue dial and can’t say enough about it. I really believe the YM is the best line in the current Rolex catalog

    I was in the same place as you with my Rolex. I'd set my heart on the Rootbeer. That was until I compared the YM and GMT side by side. I fell in love the YM. I have the sunburst chocolate dial. It has a warmth to it, although on reflection I really do like yours. I agree with you that they're not photogenic, and one has to see a YM in the flesh to fully appreciate just how beautiful they are. The two-tone does have mass to it. They're so much better than a Submariner.

    Hi
    would it be possible for you to do a video update about your Yacht-Master 40 with the platinum bezel? I'm always curious about how the bezel and case wear over time. Most of the video on yt is either brand new by the dealer or just people who never wear them.

    • @randychuah
      @randychuah  Před rokem +3

      I'll find some time to take some videos but your concerns are valid. The platinum bezel, being highly polished is a scratch magnet. Even wiping with the wrong cloth will leave hairline scratches that's there when you look real close. That however can be polished off but you need to find a very skilled person to do so because I've seen many "polished" platinum bezel in the used market lose its sharp edge (the raised numerals edge is supposed to be sharp and precise, not rounded). What you should really take care of is not to bump into the bezel because dings cannot be fixed. You can however have it replaced at the service centre for a fee. They'll take back the original bezel as a trade in and you pay the difference.

    hi there! i've been looking to purchase a YM40 as well. I had initially wanted the Slate dial one, but I chanced upon your video (excellent showcase btw) and I have to say, I am massively tempted to get this two tone instead. Would just like to ask a couple questions. I understand you mentioned its a more dressy watch, but just for the sake of it, if I wanted to wear this daily with more casual attire (collared Ts and jeans maybe), would it look out of place? Is the everose subtle or does it absolutely just pop?

    • @randychuah
      @randychuah  Před 3 měsíci

      Style is subjective. I'd say it's still fine if your casual is more of a smart casual, golfing style attire kind. But if you meant torn out jeans and oversized shirts then probably not
