Considering last year had alot of interesting releases and this year almost none, Rolex could have just had an extra year of production on this and then released this year, which needed it, and there would also be alot more availability.

Thanks! I was afraid it would be too big for me. But it wears surprisingly good. My wrist size is between 16 and 16.5 cm.

Saw this one today at the AD it was owned by the watchmaker. It was part of his personal collection. I’m not a fan of the size, but the fit and finish is unbelievably great. |

Rolex is all about the wight and feel, their 904 steel has a special shine and finish, this Ti YM is not doing it for me

It’s a really cool watch. Tried one on and played with it a bit at the AD a couple of months back. Thought it was already cool, but had some reservations. After tying it is a really great watch, any reservations I had were squashed.

Is the finish that good? From vids I've seen it is very coarse, reminded me of some Ali watches.

This is THE watch for anyone that says they want a “Rolex Tool Watch”.

My friend has one. I found it too large at 42mm and didn't like the aesthetics. I much prefer the Pelagos 39

I was a fan upon announcement but as a year has passed and only a few have made it out, I am less impressed. I have had time to take the passion out of my response and just go with the watch itself. At secondary prices my Pelagos watches will suffice.

Tried on the watch
I tried on this watch at the Rolex owned boutique (only one on earth) in Geneva. They were all very nice and excited for me to try it on. I felt it was too light and slightly too big for my taste, I much prefer my submariner. However, I did like to monochrome/matte finish, and agree it would be really cool looking in a sub (although still to light for me).

Ti Yachtmaster
I have been waiting on one for a while. I am not sure if I will end up with one. That's OK if I don't get one I will spend my money on Scuba equipment or something like that.

$40k for a non precious metal titanium watch that retails for $14k is absurd.

At the end of the day for most luxury goods the value of the item in primarily a function is the perceived rarity relative to the supply / demand dynamic. If this is only going to be made for a few years then one could argue that the secondary market price is justified. |

My local AD just outside London has had an exhibition piece in the window for around a month now. They told me they are submitting names to the manager to release it for purchase soon

Haven't seen one in person, but would like to own one in the future not minding how light they're saying it is.
