I bought a Yachtmaster. I have several tool watches but none as pretty as this. I'm very pleased......

I hate Yachtmasters since they're almost always garish nasty gold but this is a really handsome watch! Reminds me a bit of the Grey Side on the dial. Is it new or was it produced some years ago? Looks new w/ Rolex on the chapter ring but I dunno when they started doing that.

I'm not sure if the dial is platinum but, the bezel is. I think the dial is too. The dial reminded me of the Grey Side as well. It is a bit of an older model as it has the old style clasp on the bracelet. The expandable clasp added $1000 to it and I didn't think it was necessary. I agree about the gold and being too flashy. I've been looking at Subs but I have two dive watches already and wanted something a bit different. The Mrs was with me and said it was gorgeous and that I should get it. I just did what I was told.....馃槈
It is new from the local AD by the way. I thought I got a good deal on it too.

Nice one! One of the Rollie's that for some reason flies under the radar, but I've always liked it in this platinum version.

The ladies version is a lovely, understated ladies Rolex. Two of my colleagues wear it, and it might be a good complement to yours for the missus ;-)

You're likely right but she chose an Omega DeVille with a blue face and diamonds for indices. I wasn't about to point out more expensive watches to her. 馃槈

Nice watch, but what exactly is its purpose (in a sense of it being a toolwatch)?

In the tool for pulling chicks sense then yes, its a watch women would not find ugly.

Does it work? If so, I do require a Yachtmaster!

Depends on the kind of woman you're trying to pull, effective mainly on the same type susceptible to the amex platinum card falling out of the pocket trick.

Women are smarter than that. They look at your shoes (maintenance) and how you keep your fingernails (cleanness). Ask if you do not believe it.

Wow! I didn't realize I bought a watch to pick up ladies. I'll have to only wear it with my wife around. I can't afford a divorce.....
As far as a tool watch, it is waterproof to 100 metres which is far deeper than it will be with me wearing it unless it attracts another woman and my wife has me bumped off and deposited in a deep lake or ocean.........馃榾馃槈
I bought the watch because I liked the look of it. To me, it is the most attractive Rolex without being gaudy. Just my humble opinion.

I looked very hard at the BLNR and it just didn't do it for me. This I liked instantly. It's just a bit different from the rest of the Rolex tool watches. 24 hours and I still love it.
