Lovely watch N.....
I think think is the most underrated of modern sports watches! I was looking at the new blue dial in my AD last week.
Here's my Sunday wear today:
Have a peaceful day.

Since it has been a long time we didn't speak of this watch, and that I didn't wear it... The good thing with these modern Rolexes is that you have an immediate perception of their quality. Put one on your wrist, you will feel what I mean. As for the Yach...

So what do you think about the blue dialed YM?
Great 1675 Gilt, by the way! Best, Nicolas
Very nice my friend.....
I was surprised how much I liked it! Lovely navy colour, which made the red hand 'pop' Would make a nice pair! ;-) R
Initially loved it...
...I especially like blue-dialled watches. I had planned the blue YM to be a replacement for my older grey YM. After 3 months I haven't yet brought myself to sell the old one. The blue version is scarily accurate, whereas the old one is more or less consi...
What an impressive blue armada from IWC. With a big weakness for the Inge.
I hear you on the blue YM. Will have to pay more time to see it in the lfesh, and to try it. Thanks for your opinion. Best, Nicolas
That was the reason why I decided to take the photo.
The matching pull over... ;) Best, Ken. Nicolas
She is a real beauty
Modern but keeping the lines of the classic. Not like some of the more modern example that have fallen under the spell of trends. Timeless beauty. Bill
Very well said, Bill.
The YM is one of the very few modern Rolexes I really love. With the Green Milgauss and the GMT II C. Are you considering getting one? It would be a perfect " Captain Watch ". ;) Best, Nicolas
A Gorgeous piece for sure that doesn't get the love it deserves on the forums
Great wrist shot! And, TFS :)
I think its time may well come. After all, it is a kind of historical piece.
A daring vision of the Submariner, and the first maxi indexes, we are used to see, nowadays, but which were innovative, at this time ( early 90ies ). Best, Nicolas
Beautiful watch amigo Nicolas! So elegant and classy...
... and by some reason never considered owning it, nor tried one at an AD. Your great picture and comments make me think about it with different eyes. My God! You did the same with the vintage Explorer II, and the pointed guards GMT, and the... Oh My! May...
Sorry, my friend, but when it is all about pleasure
How can I spoil you, Amigo Mio? ;) Yes, try the blue version, then we'll compare our feelings. Un fuerte abrazo, Dexter! Nicolas
Lol! Nicolas! You are right! This is all about pleasure!!...
... will be trying the blue dial one next time I visit a local AD, and will tell you what I found! Have a great day my friend! Un abrazo de Dexter, con afecto! Abel.
Never thought that I would say that...
Up until a year ago I never much liked the YM because of the illfitting bracelet endpieces and the lack of color on the dial. However, I have some nice pics of the pt YM in sunlight which I could not really forget. When the refreshed YM arrived last year ...
Ssssh, tis is a secret, but I still have it on the wrist, for my biggest pleasure.
Super comfortable, yes. Let's see who, between you and me, will get the blue dial first. I still have to get a confirmation in the real world, but I like it a lot. As for the GMT 16760, I am on the hunt for a nice Fat Lady, too... Too many watch es on the...
Now I recall why I sold the YM!
I bought a nice, early "No DATE" 16760 GMT! Be sure to look for the first year of production (1983-4) with this "no DATE" dial. And, the correct fat-font serif Coke insert. As much as I liked the monochromatic look of the YM and other features, the GMT is...
Ok, in this case, you are forgiven. ;)
As a big GMT Fan I am, I can easily understand you. The Fat Lady is another nice and inrteresting GMT. I envy you. All the best, Ken. Nicolas.
It's just that I am a pepsi guy rather than coke...
...but I also have a nicely patinated coke insert in my parts box.
I have also owned this watch twice, Nicolas!
I think it is quite special in that it "anticipated" some later Rolex design cues well before it's time. Also, as you say, the weight, interesting combination of materials and very comfortable fit. In fact, I just sold my second one last month. Why? I don...
Even if your reason is excellent, Ken, I think you will buy a 3rd one.
The YM is one of these watches you full appreciate once it is gone... At least, that is what happened to me, but I am pretty confident in the fact that I am not alone in this case. Best, Nicolas
YM SS/Plat is the most interesting model of the current line IMHO..............
Sorry the blue one didn't smile at me.
As I already said, I won't trade mine for the blue. Agree with you.
But I find the blue quite cool, too. Still, I have to see it in the flesh.... Best, Nicolas
