    A strange one for me . . .

    I don't like dates on watches, never been fond of Rolex's cyclops but dang I couldn't get this one off my mind. I guess it's really the gorgeous blue dial that over shadows anything/everything else. Not a favorite of Rolex fans I've noticed but will say it has the same robust and impeccable quality build that the manufacturer is famous/known for and I'm very satisfied with it. Probably be sporting it for at least the next couple days, if not longer, a few gratuitous pics from earlier today for those that might be interested . . . .

    Can't believe you got a watch with a date, let alone a date and a cyclop! It does have a blue dial, though. Kidding, of course.

    Don't know if Rolex fans like this model or not - and it doesn't realy matter, does it? - but I believe there are a few fans, here. It's an interesting choice: solid, reliable but not your usual Sub. I like it.

    Congratulations and enjoy your new watch.

    Wise words C, thx! I know the dial has a lot to do with it . . . there's the platinum dialed model too but doesn't have quite the same level of attraction for me . . .

    That's really nice. Black bezel would be perfect for me.

    The Yacht Master is often overshadowed by its more famous siblings but it is a gorgeous, well proportioned watch. And let's not forget that beautiful platinum bezel!

    Hey thank you Walter! And you know me, in all the way so since the blue dial mesmerizes so, had to bring the new Rhodium dialed model in too, talk about redundancy . .
