My Next Rolex? Why The Yacht-Master Is The Perfect Luxury Sports Watch

Рет қаралды 180,542

Күн бұрын

In today's watch review video I revisit one of the most overlooked and underrated luxury watches to see if this could be my next Rolex. How does the Yacht-Master 126622 compare to my Submariner and other Rolex luxury watches? Join me as I go in-depth with a look at this watch's history, the evolution of its innovative design, the clever inspiration behind it, the positives, the negatives, and why I consider this to be a perfect "do it all" luxury sports watch.

Absolutely love the Blue Yachtmaster. Such a great looking watch. Almost bought one multiple times. The main issue which stopped me is how easily the bezel can be scratched. I am not the easiest on my watches and need the ceramic bezel for my OCD. Would drive me nuts to see scratches on bezel. On the band and even body I can deal with scratches. Bezel I need to be more robust.

This must be the best YM 40 review on KZfaq by far. You obviously put a lot of time and effort into the narrative, and the photography is absolutely exquisite. - Chapeau! I personally think that the YM 40 is the best looking modern Rolex sport watch. I have both the Blue and the Rhodium versions and find that whenever I want a more casual, 'under the radar' look, a rubber strap does the trick and the combo looks awesome.

Nailed it - great review. I have the rhodium version precisely because of what you said about the blue being a little toy like - the rhodium feels a little more mature and I got the feeling I wouldn’t tire of it like I might with the blue. Besides there are so many other good blue Rolex options but the YM40 rhodium feels special. Agree about the PCLs but that’s what makes it feel special and luxury. Love the rendering with the jubilee - looks fantastic! Keep it up. F

My 126622 has been my daily watch since the day I got it for my college graduation. Everything you said in your review is absolutely spot on. Thank you for giving this reference the attention and respect it deserves! Personally I love the color combination because it matches the colors of my university and, being from Los Angeles, it matches the Dodger blue with their red accent. Overall, the watch compliments my personal style of balancing sporty and formal so it is the perfect everyday piece for me.

I can't wait to watch this video after work as I love the Yacht-Master. I wish they would offer the newer ones with a fully brushed steel bracelet or Jubilee version for a more cosmopolitan style (as they do with the GMT). I remember your thoughts on a previous video that the polished center links amplify any fingerprints/scratches.

@ShahLusso 3 жыл бұрын

Have to agree, this is probably the best & most underrated of the Rolex sports models, and that blue or even the platinum of the previous generation really puts it a cut above vs the Submariner, Surprising though that you mentioned this called more attention vs a sub - I'd have thought the instant recognition of the Sub would call more call attention but then again a platinum bezel does stand out. Great video as always!

I have yet to read a negative review regarding this model which isn't surprising, I believe it to be one of the most impressive watches made by Rolex. I'm looking forward to many more years of ownership. Great review TGV, keep up the good work.

Very nice presentation. Got my YM 116622 pt dial exactly 6 years ago to the day. This is one of the most elegant and dressy professional Rolex models, to me at least. I really love this classier take on the more utilitarian looking Sub. Very discreet and understated with the pt dial. The blue dial is stunning and offers a slightly more showy look. Supremely comfortable on the wrist, compared to my Sub41 and SD43.

The Yacht-Master is my favorite contemporary Rolex. My favorite variation of which is the 40mm with the dark rhodium dial with cyan accents. More low-key than the blue & red combo used here. Mind you blue, red and white together are traditional yachting colors. Still, I have two caveats pertaining to this watch, the first being that the hands are a little too small in relation to the indices. The second pertaining more to the new 3200 series movements, with their apparently much noisier rotors, that now use more shock resistant ball bearings rather than a jeweled staff. A mechanically superior solution maybe, but at the cost of sounding like a Miyota!

My ad called me a month ago and was excited thinking it was the pepsi or sub then she brings out this blue ym40 and I forgot it was the only ym40 I ever really considered. I immediately fell in love with the blue dial and contrast with the red seconds hand and more so the red font. It was a no brainer and still in my honeymoon phase with it and will be for a very long time. Maybe one of my favorite watches ever.

I was bouncing off the walls! I just have one question, when the new pepsi came out the previous service schedule of 5 yrs became 10 yrs because of the silicon hairspring. Is it the same case here? Have the service intervals also changed with all this new tech? Keep up the good work Governer!

So your absolutely right about the absence of "model history" . I have heard a story a few times that the Yacht Master was born by default. The story goes, that Rolex, in the late 80s early 90s was thinking about updating the submariner line, but got cold feet at the last minute, and just released the design as an entirely new line, ergo: Yacht Master. If anyone has any info about the veracity of this story, i would love to hear it. Thanks guys. Onwards and Upwards. Lol

There’s no hybrid metal. Rolesor is just a fancy way of saying “I’m using gold and steel together in the same watch”. Quote from Rolex website. “Rolesor is the auspicious meeting of two metals on a single Rolex watch: gold and steel, with their contrasting colours and radiance, in subtly balanced harmony. The name Rolesor was patented by Rolex in 1933 and has become a true Rolex signature. The concept is simple: the bezel, the winding crown and the centre bracelet links are made of 18 ct yellow or Everose gold (Rolex’s exclusive pink gold alloy); the middle case and the outer links of the bracelet are made of Oystersteel. On white Rolesor models, the bezel alone is in 18 ct white gold.”

Indeed, but ss I said in the video, these hybridized metal combinations are very effective at utilizing the best of both worlds. I went on to explain precisely this in the video, but alas, I had to cut it out to keep it more concise. Thank you for watching Jeffrey Best regards, TGV
