Normally I'd not take any interest in bi-metal watches but I'm rather taken by the Everose/Steel Yachtmaster 40 having just seen it an AD.
Not tried it on, I was in swithering about whether I wanted a black bay dark, but now that I'm home I've spent more time finding out more about the yachtmaster.
Granted its not everyone's cup of tea, but neither is a blacked out sub-alike!

Yes, very.
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
Feels like the root beer of the '10s. I see a potential risk of looking dated rather soon. But it is lovely, especially in the flesh, fairly discrete looking.
Hmm bi-curious eh?
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
I tried the same dial and bimetal combination on with the new DJ 41 - the colour combination in real life is fab
My Gran really likes it

On a sunny day I can only imagine how nice it looks :), since you can only get so much of an idea under AD lighting.
Think I'll stop by Makro then and stock up on Wether's orignals then.
In its favour it looks like the rest of the sports Rolex range, but your right the color scheme will could probably look dated when rose gold falls out of fashion.
Its definately alot less "look at me" than the standard bi-metal.
Something about that sounds quite worrying, like a chocolate starfish only worse...
I almost wish I could persuade myself to like bi-metal, you could get so many bargains.
Actually having looked at some photos, the rose gold take on bi-metal is a hell of a lot more appealing than the 70s yellow gold style - why not if it suits you!
I Like it....but I`m a bimetal fan so I would say that. Rose gold is a more subdued look than yellow, but I still prefer yellow gold.

I like it a lot. Have to check it out in person.
Looks great I have a two tone Speed master and love it

I like TT but not sure about the brown dial
I quite like it but I if I had to spend my own money I don't think I could justify spending the premium over a steel watch for a TT.

I found bi metal to be my most go to watch
I think as your skin ages certain tones work better
I wouldn't have dreamt of gold 15 years ago
Now I just ordered a Graham bi metal ( ok shoot me down Graham haters !! I know there are a lot of you out there lol)
This.
You know you're getting old when you don't need to ask anyone else's opinion as to what you like.
I think at times there is an over obsession with SS models. Certainly in the case of the Daytona models some of the SS White faced dials look quite bland compared to the TT models. I have had a TT Ceramic Submariner and an older Daytona and both looked just as good if not better than their SS equivalents.
I think the all yellow gold models are a no go zone these days - too blingy, African Dictators spring to mind and very 'Jim'll Fix It'.
I agree though I do like this watch.

I am a big fan of TT watches some brands get it right in colours and shades and have been since my 20's. Now I have started to like yellow Gold, which is strange as in the past I have avoided yellow gold and gone for White gold watches.
Have always like the YM, this to me looks even better.

I have bi metal gmt, absolutely love it, not too shouty. Have yet to try rose gold tho.
I've got a TT Datejust with white face. Not old at all
Best looking bi-metal watch I've seen. It has more warmth and class than the tacky garish bling associated with 'traditional' bi-metal. Winner for me.

I think it looks good and has been said before the dial will be stunning in sunlight
Not getting old just getting more taste in your twilight years that is lovely ,I don't understand why they offer it on that rubber abomination they will sell them on nasty NATO,s nextNormally I'd not take any interest in bi-metal watches but I'm rather taken by the Everose/Steel Yachtmaster 40 having just seen it an AD.

Very nice.
Anyone know if these are at UK ad's yet? If I could get one for say 20% off list I wouldn't hesitate

That looks very nice. I look forward to seeing one at an AD

Interesting point, over obsession with SS, I would say on here it's the over obsession with the TT or YG. Maybe just the way I read the forum. I'm a stainless fan and not TT whereas you're a TT guy. Fair point however.

Meant to say, bang on about YG, now then now then jingle jangle! And dictators, those are the reasons I wouldn't wear YG tbh.

That looks stunning, I was very tempted to buy a bi-colour Rolex GMT ceramic recently, never understood the negative feeling toward bi-colour watches. From the pictures that YM is one of the best looking I've seen, I'm saving up for the Everose YM on rubber.....
