    🎬 This was our 3rd ever CZcams video and we've been learning a lot.
    This is the first time we've filmed a watch that has been worn regularly and it's surprising how many marks show up on camera that you don't even notice even when you're holding the watch in your hand.
    Nevertheless, we hope you enjoyed the video and we'd be happy to receive any feedback.

      The red seconds hand looks juvenile and cheap, if only the seconds hand was in silver then the YM would have been the best watch Rolex had produced to date.

      I personally like the scratches. It makes the watch look and feel more ‘real’. So do not worry about the scratches, it just shows that this is a watch that someone actually wears.

    I own both the Sub and the blue YM. Both are great watches, but the YM is a whole different level. Absolutely spectacular. It’s been my daily wear for a few years now and still looks amazing. The “delicate” platinum bezel is still in pristine condition. It’s no where near as fragile as you have been led to believe.

    The Yacht-Master looks much better than the Submariner with the supercase. Also, being dressier makes it more versatile, less utilitarian looking. It's refined and elegant for a sports watch, I like such combination of attributes .
    For those who don't know, the purpose of the bidirectional bezel is to track elapsed time between buoys in a regatta and also to assist with the countdown to the start of the race. All marketing, electronic alternatives are used in real life, just like diving computers and digital chronos. Who cares, in this fantasy Rolex world. They should have called it Yacht-Racer. Naming it after a licence to handle boats is all a bit pompous and prosaic. But what do I know, they're Rolex, right?
    By the way "Rolesium" is not an alloy but a made up word to say there are elements of steel and elements of platinum. Well in this blue dial model only the bezel is platinum. In the previous model the dial was solid platinum too.
    I own the platinum dial 116622, a very monochrome and handsome watch to me. Bought it new 5 years ago, was produced from 2012 till 2016. I preferred it to the blue dial when side by side at the AD, although not by much. Retail price was 11,350 euros back in the day, not cheap when the Sub 116610LN was readily available for 7,900 euros. I chose the YM hands down (at a nice discount mind you) over the supercase Sub with its slab profile and fat lugs.
    Compared to the Sub, here's how I see things. Take the blue pill, buy the Sub and sleep with the peace of mind you have what everybody else wants. If everyone aspires to owning one, it must be good, right? Stay in the numbing and reassuring beaten path. Take the red pill, buy the Yacht-Master and step into another dimension, a world of fine connoisseurs who can appreciate the countless subtleties and elegant sophistication of such an exquisite timepiece. Almost no one will understand it but you don't follow the herd. Instead you go your own way, free from those dictating what you should be doing, how you should be thinking. You are your own boss and need nobody's validation and pat on the shoulder. You are at the turning point separating men from boys.
    No offence to Sub lovers, it was all a bit tongue in cheek :-). It really is a matter of taste. I'm not a fan of the supercase and own the YM and SD43 instead. It's good to have choice. To each their own as they say..

      Thank you very much for your comments.
      We like your Matrix analogy, it makes perfect sense. That's not to say there aren't people that buy the Submariner because they genuinely love it. However, when you do see someone wearing one, it does make you think whether they bought it just to fit in and to impress their peers rather than buying it for themselves.
      You are in the privileged position of owning the YM and SD43. Some people would argue that the Submariner is a combination of the two and if you can only afford one your best choice is the Submariner.
      We have a review of the Sea-Dweller coming up in the next few weeks so keep an eye out for that one.

Also, what if I want a robust and rugged watch with a bit more elegance than a black utilitarian diver? A Patek dress watch won't give me that. The YM is a more refined Sub, still a sports watch but dressier and thus more versatile.

    Really nice videography and quality. My only complaint would be when you said the Submariner's bezel is for timing remaining "oxygen". It is used for timing the length of the dive itself, it's not able to calculate remaining air. You would need a pressure gauge for that.

    Love the video! I bought the 126622 in mid March this year, right before they shut it all down :-). I also chose this over the black sub and the Batgirl girl. 1 point to clarify, since I'm seeing that a lot of reviewers consistently get this wrong ( or at least present it in such a way that makes the viewer assume something that is not true). When we say that the bezel is solid platinum, what we should clarify is that the YM, just like all the other bezeled rolexes, has a bezel insert. The insert itself is solid platinum, but the coined rotating outer bezel is 904L just like all the others. If you look closely at the part where the insert meets the coined edges, you will see it. In fact, it is better this way,, since platinum is softer than steel, and it would not be practical to risk the bezel becoming deformed if God forbid you banged it against something. All in all, this watch is the at the top of the heap of all the bezeled offerings! Cheers.

Still want to get a Sub, although GMT BLNR is my next target, just as I’ve been on waiting list for two years. Would swop position for new 2020 green bezel Sub. Yatchmaster is ideal for the smaller wrist, as mine is. Can still find Yatchmaster 40 on secondhand market for retail, seems to on the move up slowly, as the more popular sports versions top out on price and maybe demand. Who wants to pay almost twice retail for Batman/Batgirl (jubilee version) when this sexy watch is obtainable.

  • @qd6qIvV

    Great vid...but you've missed the point re the easy link vs glidelock...5mm of adjustment is pointless, its either going to be super tight or too loose (if anyone's wrist expands 5mm or more then you need to see a Dr). The glidelock offers increments of 2mm, which is perfect. Admittedly, 20mm is excessive, I just assumed it was there on the Sub to fit over dive suit.

  • @MannyZ28
    @MannyZ28 Před 4 lety +10

    My 2019 Submariner was my first Rolex. First of, I don't have the stainless steel Sub with black dial, I have a two tone bluesy, and the main reason I bought it over the Yachtmaster was the blue ceramic bezel and beautiful blue dial, together with the gold, it, to me, just is a magical combination. So the point where you say the dial on the YM is nicer than on the black Sub is true, but it is a mute one for me. The Subs bezel being unidirectional only doesn't bother me one bit, it takes maybe 1 or 2 seconds long to set it compared to the bi directional bezel, and it being a dive watch, the reason for it being unidirectional makes sense. Also, not only do I like the Subs bezel (again, in my case blue) better, but I also like the fact that it's virtually scratch proof and fade resistant. Seeing the scratches on your YM's bezel was a bit hard to look at and made me like my bezel even more. I prefer the glide lock extension over the easylink (I have a 2020 Datejust 41 so I am familiar with the easy link and find it a bit fiddly) The Glidelock has a finer adjustment, more range, and is easier to use, and the reason the range is so big is for people using their sub to go diving with a diving suit, so again, there's a functional reason why the range is so big. It's very true that the black Sub has no polished center links which can also be seen as a good thing since you won't see scratches as easily as you do on polished links, but again, that's a mute point for me since my centers are made of gold. A lot of people don't like the squarish look of the Supercase, I am not one of them, I actually love it, this is strictly personal taste. Lastly, the power reserve...newer movement, better movement, the YM wins hands down, until the next Sub will have the same movement. Sorry for the long essay, but I found myself having to "disagree" with your 5 points, mainly because I was comparing it to my own watch. Last two points, the Sub is cheaper than the YM and has a better depth rating. The Bluesy is 2 grand more than the YM but has the shiny dial, pretty and scratch proof bezel, and a dial that easily rivals the YM's....tricky to compare them all. Loved the review though and enjoyed every second of it! Keep up the good work!

    That comment about the 5mm clasp extension in the YM vs Sub Hulk's 20mm glidelock completely missed the point.

    I agree. The YM is much better looking in terms of the case shape and the combination of platinum bezel blue dial with that red seconds hand is just amazing.

  • @hochspannunglebensgefahr5339

    The submariner bezel isn’t only for timing Oxygens left. It’s main purpose is for timing decompression stops so divers know how long they need to wait at a certain level, so they don’t ascend to fast and get decompression sickness aka the bends.

    • @harry-eto
      @harry-eto Před 2 lety

      Hmm. But the unidirectional bezel turns anticlockwise, which would give you a shorter decompression time in case of accidentally turning it. This would be on the dangerous side as opposed to timing bottom time, where shorter is safer... Agree?
      Also, most diver don't use pure oxygen but pressurized air or Nitrox. Timing breathing air can't be done since it's related to depth and and breathing cadence. The pressure gauge will do that - and since it's 2021- a dive computer with an additional sensor for the tank pressure is the way to go😉

  • @bobbydazzler1780
    @bobbydazzler1780 Před 3 lety +4

    I’ve seen a number of second hand Yachtmasters with platinum bezels. On a number of occasions the bezel has been marked quite visibly and is allegedly very difficult/expensive to refinish. Send it in for a service and God knows how much Rolex will charge for a replacement platinum piece. It’s a pretty watch but the high polished centre links, case and bezel would make it a nervous daily wear piece and I could see me wearing it less frequently to special occasions which would make it totally redundant in my view. That’s where the Sub steps in. The brushed surfaces and ceramic bezel means it can take a lot of wear without showing much damage and still look brand new. Sometimes watches are just a little too precious and need babying. For me the Rhodium dial is a killer look. The blue with the red highlights doesn’t work quite so well. All subjective of course. The model that’s growing on me is the cool looking rose gold two tone with the chocolate sunray dial. Warm harmonious times. I’m sure women would love that piece. Not as masculine perhaps but a pretty looking piece that you’ll virtually never see anyone else wearing. Best bit is that it’s a steal over the ugly root beer getting all the attention.

    Both have different purpose, a Yacht master basically is NOT a diving watch, The Sub is, plus the extension size on the Sub is for a diver to be able to wear it on the gloves, and that’s why the Yacht master is more luxurious than the Sub.

    No, not Hulk, but actually submariner is created for (scuba) divers. And so it DOES makes sense to have an option for 20mm to extension. Because if you gonna wear a scuba neopren suit, your arm, wrist, gonna get larger and its needed a longer bracelet then. Also the bezel on the submariner specially is one directional because diver also. Thats the different between a "pilots-watch" and a divers watch. The reason why? Well wikipedia or google sure tells you

  • @harry-eto

    I disagree on the clasp, the glidelock gives you much smaller steps. My experience of owning models with both these clasps.
    That said, in everyday use, the Omega Seamaster Professional 300m clasp beats both in terms of usability. You can adjust it with a simple press & slide of your thumb, while still having the watch loosely on your wrist.
