I actually like the flared rubber strap but I don't like how the date window is now misplaced at a shorter radius than the hour markers. On the Rolex website they hide this pretty well but in your video, it's obvious and for me, a no-go.
HJM - thank you for yet another great exam. those close-up shots, amazing. I have a slate dial 40 mm yacht master , which I think is an understated, handsome offering from Rolex. - nothing gets by you. ~ JDS/CT
Great video. In terms of the watch - quality control was bound to slip as Rolex are spending all their money on social media stars who have made the brand what it is today. As Federico and Bark & Jack have discussed: social media is ruining watches.
Are Audemars, GS, Vacheron and Patek spending all their money on social media stars too? Cause their dials sure have flaws under the macro too.. bear in mind these are high horology brands bar GS.
I own the 40mm blue dial and love it. This version looks good but for that price I rather get the rose gold version. or maybe a VC Overseas or the AP offshore if you can get hands on one of those lately.
Love your videos! Will you do a review on the new Speedy Moon-watch? I wonder if there are any noticeable improvements with the printing on the dial, in comparison with the previous model.
The bracelet is metal. It’s covered in rubber, though. Hence the “flex” in the name but it’s not just made of “elastomer” or whatever...there’s a steel core. That’s why Rolex calls it Oysterflex BRACELET.
It's under warranty. And a brand new watch. Instead of being disappointed just send it in for a replacement dial. Back to perfection in no-time... Human beings made the watch. It happens.
Great watch and I the bracelet is superb, really comfortable. I own the rhodium version, just one big downside for me is the glare of the glass. The rhodium dual isn’t that readable. In hindsight I would have gone with a different dial colour
I have the watch too, it is beautiful. Dial color will not really change the issue of missing Antireflective coating, use the indices in lower light situations and readability is ok.
Great watch. I love the bracelet and clasp. Just doubt like 42mm. So I passed on one and bought the white gold Daytona w/ oyster flex. Well done. Thank you. Nice video mate 🥃🇺🇸
My 41 mm sub feels so good on a wrist, but that yacht master would be to big for my hand. I do have an Omega seamaster on ruber and I like it, but still sub feels better.
Nice but one thing that will always keep me away from some models is the cyclops. It's one of the most iconic design ideas but also the most illogical, unnecessary and stupid. Seriously, if someone is so blind that they need a date window blown up by 150-200% just to see the date, they're unlikely to be able to see the rest of the dial! It's just a pimple on the face of a fairly decent watch. It's not useful and it's not pretty. Just because it's always been there, it doesn't mean it's good.
I have seen many of your reviews with pristine watches and I can tell by the plastic on the case and the dust on the rubber bracelet this watch is not in pristine condition.
Apologies. I didn’t realise that until I shot all the clips and sat down to process the clips on my computer screen. That dust is hardly noticeably when working off in real life but shows as massive turn down when viewed on 4K and larger screens. Will be working on it going forward 👍
I'd rather get a Vaucheron Constantin self winding. Costs less and has three easily changeable straps. Easy strap extension mechanism. Better presentation box. Also the blue dial version is increasing in value if that's someone's main aim. Yachtmaster? I honestly can't see the point in this version or even the gold.
with all due respect GUYS REMEBER MOST OF WHAT HE SAID IS HIS OPINION i feel like this is almost a negative review About this watch (sorry creator ) and MY OPINION THIS WATCH IS PERFECT specially the gold version
Beautiful watch with a great size…but kinda boring. I had it for about six months and decided to trade it towards a new AP Offshore 44mm Chronograph in titanium 26400IO. Couldn’t be happier with my decision
Great decision there... I have the blue dial 40mm and Im very happy with that piece. At $12K its a decent piece, But at the price range of this one, there are better options out there. Perfect example is that RO Offshore. By far a nicer watch. I even rather get a Fifty Fathoms instead.
Beautiful watch but the name Yacht Master has always wreaked of pretentious to me. Not sure I can wear it because of that,. Don't own a yacht, never will. A sub would be great in this size and style.
Thank you for the love. Follow my watch journey at instagram.com/hafizjmehmood/
I tried this on and was blown away how beautiful it is; to be perfect, it should have maintained the red writing.
I just got mine yesterday loving every second of it
That “E” is unacceptable. I would have Rolex replace the dial under warranty
Which E?

Knowing how rolex people roll this watch is going to be worth millions because of the flaw in the “E”
Rolex knows everyone wants this in steel and 40mm, what a tease

Yeah same with Omega - rather they used money to improve QC than marketing and Bond movie placement

The blacked out bezel looks so cool
So under rated right now. Should be highly sought after.
Got to see the new falcon eye in person - I think it puts this over the top for a must have for me
How would the rubber strap fare after 20 yrs use? Will it crack/ deteriorate?
They call it a bracelet as metal runs through its centre
If you can afford the watch you can afford to fix this issue 20 years from now
@@Liquorfellers absolutely!
The mistake they made with this watch was making it in white gold instead of platinum !!!
Love your videos! Will you do a review on the new Speedy Moon-watch? I wonder if there are any noticeable improvements with the printing on the dial, in comparison with the previous model.
I always enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work!
Can't believe seeing that E and R.... are you sure this is not a fake rolex?
Looks fake to me,some of the writing doesn’t line up with the minute markers
The errors and dust on the dial are highly suspicious. I would pop the case back and verify the finish to make sure it's legit bro.
Always looking forward for Rolex Watch Review by Hafiz. It is Truly a magnificent. Really helpful for Watches Aficionado😍⌚😍⌚😍
Great video. Very professional and in-depth. Thank you for the attention to detail.
Leaving the frayed plastic on the watch ruined the presentation IMO. 😷
It’s a REP!
The bracelet is metal. It’s covered in rubber, though. Hence the “flex” in the name but it’s not just made of “elastomer” or whatever...there’s a steel core. That’s why Rolex calls it Oysterflex BRACELET.
Hi Sir if you could have only one Rolex what would it be please
Great video mate 🥃. Love this watch ; under valued on the grey market
It's under warranty. And a brand new watch. Instead of being disappointed just send it in for a replacement dial. Back to perfection in no-time... Human beings made the watch. It happens.

I have the watch too, it is beautiful. Dial color will not really change the issue of missing Antireflective coating, use the indices in lower light situations and readability is ok.
What is wrong with the E in ROLEX on the dial?
Another great video, Hafiz, thank you. Watch is good looking, just don't think it would be on my wish list.
Great video. Good job!
my yacht 42 lettering is perfect not sure why yours isn't 🤔
I just got one and 💯% recommend it
Fantastic watch.. too bad those small issues
Could you do a video on the Grand Seiko SBGW231?
Great watch. I love the bracelet and clasp. Just doubt like 42mm. So I passed on one and bought the white gold Daytona w/ oyster flex.
Well done. Thank you. Nice video mate 🥃🇺🇸
White gold Daytona oysterflex is fantastic. Great choice 👍🏻
what would people here choose for a 26-27k euro sports watch? 1) Yatch Master 42 2) new RO Offshore Diver 3) Overseas Dual Time
I prefer the RG Yacht Master 40 with the Red Writing 💕
Great show thanks. 🇬🇧
Practically all sports rolexes except Daytona and datejust look the same
Sometimes I do this accent in the bedroom, it works wonders
My 41 mm sub feels so good on a wrist, but that yacht master would be to big for my hand. I do have an Omega seamaster on ruber and I like it, but still sub feels better.

E Splash is embarrassing to a so called luxury brand
Now i gotta buy a splashed "E" Yachtmaster! Thats money in the bank.
Your content is great, but could have cleaned up the watch before sitting. Lots of gunk on the cyclists and the straps need a wipe down.
Apologies. I didn’t realise that until I shot all the clips and sat down to process the clips on my computer screen. That dust is hardly noticeably when working off in real life but shows as massive turn down when viewed on 4K and larger screens. Will be working on it going forward 👍
The black bezel reminds me of an oil spill.

New trend - wearing stickered Rolex! 'facepalm'...
Great vid again Hafiz…one of my all time favourite watches especially in White Gold.
I prefer it rose gold.
Love it !!!!!!
This is a sleeper, but still, as usual difficult to buy at retail
Stealth wealth FTW
with all due respect GUYS REMEBER MOST OF WHAT HE SAID IS HIS OPINION i feel like this is almost a negative review About this watch (sorry creator
) and MY OPINION THIS WATCH IS PERFECT specially the gold version
I feel like Rolex is rushing production and cutting corners last couple of years. Little things.
The text under the macro makes it look like some of the fakes of this watch that I've seen.
I think you’ve gotta big a big guy to carry this off.
Beautiful watch with a great size…but kinda boring. I had it for about six months and decided to trade it towards a new AP Offshore 44mm Chronograph in titanium 26400IO. Couldn’t be happier with my decision

Is this a replica watch?
too big for my wrist 🥲
This would also be great on an oyster or jubilee bracelet
It’s perfect the way it is I doubt that you know more than a Rolex designer lol
My VSF looks better than this gen 😂
Complete with Chinese REP plastic case coverings ugggh REALLY?
DUDE, GET A BELT. Great vids by the way. :)
love your voice lol
wears big too lol
Fake
Beautiful watch but the name Yacht Master has always wreaked of pretentious to me. Not sure I can wear it because of that,. Don't own a yacht, never will. A sub would be great in this size and style.
Any chance of cleaning the watch before a review? Unbelievable.
