Just bought this yacht master yesterday from an AD. This watch was never even on my radar. Seen it in person for the first time. Had to get it. Looks even better in person. Rhodium dial is incredible

I own both and can say there’s no wrong answer here. That said, the YM is just one step up on the Sub. Plus, it seems that everyone these days wears a Sub. The fact you don’t see the YM much in the wild is a big draw for me

I have the blue dial yachtmaster, it’s a stunning watch and a perfect compliment to the submariner

I’m lucky enough to own both of these beautiful watches. I agree with Dylan, the Yacht Master is stunning and is a little more dressy but can easily be dressed down. The Sub does wear slightly larger and is slightly more casual. Both are wonderful timepieces but I bought the Yachty before the sub. But personally, I think the rhodium Yacht Master is one of the most gorgeous watches I’ve ever seen.

I commend you for this absolutely excellent review! Usually, I click off of watch reviews and lose focus because they’re either boring or just poorly made. Yours was great in every way. Very informational, intriguing, well made and entertaining all throughout. Thank you sir! 😊

I tried both on and went with YM and it’s stunning in person

Great video keep them coming. I must say that the Yatch-Master 40 is growing on me! I was never a fan of the bold round numerals on the bezel however, when compared to the submariner they look more finessed and complete, given that the case is rounded off as well. Additionally, you mentioned the case differences. One of the best/worse things I done was compare the 5-digit and 6-digit sub cases, and since then I fallen out of love with the 6-digit - the balance between lug taper, lug size, and bracelet size is just incorrect (imo).

I own them both. Both are fantastic pieces. That said, I prefer the YM simply because its a little more rare in the wild. You see the Submariner on so many wrists so it’s nice to be a little more unique with the YM

Extremely well done video.... Cheers

Got the YM and I love it every day more...

Submariner looks just….normal. The bezel looks similar to many other brands’ divers. If you want to “fit in”, then sub. If you want to “stand out”, go with YM

Love the vid fortunate enough to have had 35yrs to decide on my next rolex bought the non date 5513 at 18yrs of age still with me. My new bi metal rose gold yacht sitting in AD,s safe having arrived 6 months early waiting for lockdown to end .

The blue dial YM with a red seconds hand! 😍

great video love the Yacht Master , i have the watch in a steel and gold with champagne dial just beautiful.

Sub no date is a super cool looking watch. Sub is an all rounder can be used on all types of clothes

Great presentation skills man! Props

Really good video with in depth information. Thanks.

I’m sure it was mentioned in a previous video but does anybody recall what his wrist size was?

Nice review i wonder where you sale that watches in london? What about explorer || review?

Both are beautiful, the smart move would be buy the Sub first and then the yachmaster second

YM w the red seconds hand and platinum dial is the way 🤩

I have both and use them for different occasions. Good video.

Late to this video but you are a natural - great presentation skills. Really enjoyed the comparison. I have the Sub and have just put my name down for the Yacht-Master. Thanks!

Not sure which one to buy, the blue or the rhodium dial

Got bouth but the Yacht master is more beautiful

Both lovely watches.The submariner is iconic ,loved by all.An enjoyable and informative review.Thank you.

The Yacht-Master with the blue sunburst dial is the one to go for. That version has the red sweep second hand and red lettering which is glorious. The rhodium dial and blue second hand appears a little subdued in comparison.

I had never noticed the curved case on the YM before!! 😮

Make more Rolex videos . Yours are the best on KZfaq

just bought one today in rose gold choc dial 40....absolutely elegant classy and super rich.....fell in love the moment I saw it....and bought it ...my first Rolex.To be honest o wanted to buy GMT /skydweller two tone...... but the waiting period was rediculous .... but then while I was sitting at the ROLEX AD this watch caught my eye Sitting in the shelf and when I tried it in i felt kicking myself as to why dint I shortlisted this one ??? Honestly speaking even if they gave me the gmt/skydweller even at that very moment I would’ve gone for YM as it’s a stunner....I honestly feel it’s got all the best features Of all rolexes put in one.....love the polished lugs... the size is perfection (it’s a watch midway to datejust and gmt in terms of style size class and finess )and it’s the watch which is on both sporty and dressier side.You have to see this watch in person to justify the awesomeness of this watch fellas.

Great review. You should have mentioned the rhodium dial, it’s a very precious rare metal. I own that YM watch currently, previously owned the Sub-c, no question I prefer the YM due to the curved shape of the case and that beautiful dial with blue accents. It’s a stunner in person. Sub is a tried n true design, great watch, but a dime a dozen. You won’t see many YMs out in the wild.

Got both but the YM gets more compliments and attention

Great video! I would have to say I love both. In a perfect world I would love a blue face Yacht Master and the Hulk Sub

Beautiful watches _ Great Channel ⌚🤴👍

As a former submariner and an offshore sailor, I had mixed feeling about which one to buy. Eventually I focus on the current and future and purchased the Yachtmaster some 17 years ago. I still have the submariner on my wish list. Incidentally my Yachtmaster is just finishing a major refurb at the dealer - I wear it every day and it gets knocked about. The cost of the refurb is about half the purchase cost but reflects quite a lot of wear and tear (and damage). Which one I prefer? Yachtmaster 1st and Submariner a very close second.

which is easier to find in AD?

I don’t think I could pick up a sub now, knowing that they will be fitted with the newer 3235 movement within the next couple years. 3135 has been around since 1988 and the sub is way overdue for a movement refresh.

Thank you very much for a detailed review on the Rolex Yacht-Master 40 and Rolex Submariner, very informative. I like both watches and I prefer the Yachtmaster with the blue dial. The Yachtmaster is understated which I like very much. Great channel and looking forward to more reviews.

The easiest way to define these two watches is, the Submariner is worn by the captain of the super yacht whereas the Yacht Master is worn by the owner of the super yacht.

I’m looking forward for the YM16622 for my first Rolex watch

Amazing!!! Amazing!!!

So I am looking to purchase my first Rolex within the next year or so, I have always loved the Submariner ever since I was a kid and planned for this to be my first. After seeing videos on the Yacht Master Rhodium dial I cannot get this off my mind. For someone to look to purchase their first Rolex with being able to dress this up with a suit to being able to dress it doing with a t-shirt, would the Yacht Master work?

Can you review the new rolex datejust 36mm?

Shiny and blingy while you're diving attracts barracudas.

So you can actually still get the YM Rhodium in 40mm?

Phirst! Love them both! I just picked up my new Batgirl from my AD two days ago. I love that as well!

Phantastic review ! I never noticed things so clear and so positive for both watches.

I've had the 116610LN sub for about 2 months now, had to get it from the grey market and paid a premium to do so...but I love the watch. I've been trying to get the Yacht master 40 steel/plat with blue dial but to no avail, cant even find one on the grey market. I'm a diver and a yachtie so accordingly want both!

As long as either watch functions as a diving watch - there should not be any real comparison between the two except for size. I always favored the Yacht Master because of the size but the Submariner may be more practical as a diver's watch because of the white on black contrasting. I love both watches! The more practical of the professional Rolexes for the mariner or pilot is the GMT as it is made for navigation as it tells four different time zones as needed to aid in determining your LHA and GHA as well as what time it is where you abode if not on your sloop. The only real use of a Submariner or Yacht Master is for diving other than telling the local time. Admittedly, I use an "entry-level" forty-year-old (recently serviced by RUSA) Rolex Date for ocean navigation; I only wish that it had the protective horns at the winding button. It is great for GHA plotting as it keeps -0.625 seconds per day.

Why do you only wear watches on a strap?

If they introduced ceramic bezels to the yachtmasters they'd quickly become bestsellers IMO

Do you think the YM 40mm will be discontinued in a few years? The fact that platinum is expensive and the production of 42mm Titanium YM increases this expectation.

Both model i have ..but my opinion submarin the best watch ever😎👍

The Yacht Master has really grown on me in recent months and I'm seriously thinking of getting out of my Black GMT to get the Yacht Master. I don't travel that much and the Yacht Master kicks up the dress appeal for me and it's less busy dial from the GMT. I already have a Omega Seamaster 300 Pro so I don't need a diver. Very goo video.

I will be hopefully purchasing the Yachtmaster 40 lovely watch and doesn’t seem to have a silly waiting list like the Sub

Honestly it’s going to be very difficult to get the sub for retail, in the grey market you would be paying the same as the YM 116622, a nicer watch in my opinion. Furthermore, you only have to wait a few months on the waiting list for the 116622. Submariners are overrated and mainstream, in my opinion 116622 rhodium dial tops the sub any day.

And because the Yacht Master has a TRIPLOCK screwdown and rated at 100m/330ft. you can really dive with it. I only dive to 30ft- 75ft most times anyway.

Why didn't you cover the new Yacht-Master 42mm in white gold with Oysterflex?

Had them both. Bought a GMT now. Love that! Like GMT and Dayton Case. Also a Patek and Jaeger LeCoultre fan. Nice video mate.

Le bracelet gris pour la submariner à la fin est une hérésie. Quant à la yacht master, elle est magnifique mais la quantité de platine est elle suffisante pour justifier son prix ?

Yachtmaster for the win! I refuse to pay higher than retail price.

someday

Between the two, I prefer YM, but the only reason I'll buy Sub, its cheaper, hard to get, and better resale value.

Great Video Dylan! How about a video tailored for the many people now working from home and the wearing of suits is less common

High precious metal banging about the rigging while yachting. Ha. Wear cocktailing in the harbour. 💪

I have both. It’s not a contest. Buy the one you prefer.

Bad comparison. Should have been the YM against the Sub Date, so they would both have a date.

Can the platinum bezel get scratched easily? Thanks

Always liked the YM, pity they are so under rated. Their resale value is really creeping up though.

You played Ahmet Aslan's music in the background, and am not sure if he is aware!

Yatch-Master is just another level🤍

There are two kinds of people. Those who think the Yacht Master is a rich man’s Sub, and those who think the Sub is a poor man’s Yacht Master.

YM😍

I always can't tell the difference between these two watches

I‘m the lucky owner of a (yellow) Submarine but no Yacht at the moment. For me as a daily user the Submarine is much more comfortable, stealth and safe than any Yacht whatsoever. You simply cant dive with a Yacht. So I think I should go for the Submariner.

Take the blue pill, buy the Sub and sleep with the peace of mind you have what everybody else wants. If everyone aspires to wear one, it must be good, right? Take the red pill, buy the Yacht-Master and step into another dimension, a world of sophistication where fine connoisseurs can appreciate the countless subtleties of such an exquisite timepiece (there's a reason Rolex charge considerably more). No one will understand it but you don't follow the herd. Instead you go your own way.

At my AD the Yachtmaster II is a hotter watch than GMTMaster II, luckily I got a white gold one at retail no wait, so I don't get why it's so unpopular compared to strange looking Pepsi or Batgirl.

Sub all day. It can be worn with anything from formal to casual. It’s going to have a better resale value and James Bond never wore a yach master.

Great video. The YM is a fantastic and very underrated watch, and I owned one for many years. It is much better to wear at work than the Sub, since it is dressier. But the resale value of the YM is terrible. Rolex really needs to relaunch and redesign the YM.

Yachtmaster all the way

Yacht master all the way.

The reason the Submariner is more popular is because of momentum. The Submariner is already a successful product, and people copy each other like Lemmings.

Do people really go diving 300m in theese watches?Lol😂😂😂

Had both and sold both as one was shiny scratch magnet and fragile. The other was just too big and bulky. The end result was my Tudor black bay 58. Have not looked back since! 😉

Sub all day, every day.

Sorry,yacht master that is!

second！

This guy struggles to find anything new to say about these watches, everyone and his dog has said all the same things before but I still watched to the end cos I like the YM. I still wear it with a bit of clear tape on the clasp cos I’m a wuss and don’t want scratches

„yop“-master??? YACHTmaster …

they are way too similar, the submarimer is 300m divers and is cheaper. theres no competition. yatch master 2 is the only real yatch master

Those gold Yacht-Masters are gaudy. 👎🏻

Both too small

The numbers on YM's bezel are too big and there is no illuminated stone on the triangle on bezel (at 12 position). The blue second hand is too eye catching. The polished bracelet will scratch so easily. The rounded edges of the case steered Rolex's character away and made it look like a Breitling even. Considering these points plus the price difference Submariner Date is definitely a better option.

Yacht master looks kinda cheap. Is don't know why but it looks like some swatch or anything like that. More childish and not as refined as the sub

YM is the best Rolex
