Maybe you don't need to be a Rolex afficionado to not like it.
Too thick too big, too cold, too inelegant, too ... much.
Of course my 2 cents, VAT included.

Property of a gentleman ...
and something we don´t see that often here: Probably not the most popular model, but can some Rolex afficionados tell me why? Oliver...
Now will this be the future 1655?
My guess because it looks weird and the other version are all awful stuff to stomach. But hey people change and so do taste. Regards Tyler

Am I the only person around here who likes this watch...
Not sure what that says about me, and I am not one for bling, but think of the watch in context. To my eyes, the yellow gold and blue ceramic are just about pitch perfect for yachting off the Italian coast and somewhere near Sardinia. The countdown timer ...
No, a friend of mine loves it, too.
But the curious thing is that he never included it in his collection... ??? Best, Nicolas.
It's not about the bling...
...it's about that amazing movement. Anyone that can't see that, isn't into horology. Tony
OK. Let's return to Yachtmaster 1 --
I hope most here like a model with MOP dial and rubies, right ? Can this be a property of a gentleman ? It is 40mm - just right size for a sporty luxury watch. It is beautiful. Agree ? Gary.
MOP and Rubies???
Well, why not the " simpler " one, with its beautiful grained platinum dial. Original and elegant. But a MOP and Rubies? Well, not my cup of tea, but why not? Best, Nicolas.
hard to compete against icons
personally i find the design appealing--but a number of other rolex models more readily quicken my heart...... j
supply and demand.
As generations change so do their tastes and styles. And in our economy it's all about supply and demand.
There's a gestalt to Rolex that eludes the YM II . . .
. . . and, in my opinion, the main contributing factor is the constant-running small seconds hand. It just doesn't "fit".
