Which Rolex?

[Phillyfan]

I love the YM on others. I haven't tried on mid-size YM but that is probably what I would choose for you. I'm personally leaning towards the air king.

Datejust!

i like the Yachtmaster! not crazy about the 1st one.

Yes. I did mean the the midsize datejust and the ladies yachmaster. Thanks for the thread. Actually, the yachtmaster and datejust look exactly like they do on your wrist as they do on my wrist.....I just don't remember the exact size with regard to what milimeter they were.

I'm looking for a casual everyday watch. I already own a rolex oyster in white gold with a jubilee bracelet in the small size - it looks dressy. I want an everyday watch now - more like a man's watch....

For the purpose you want it for, I would say go for the YM.

If you want a more sports-like or man-ish watch, the Yacht-Master is the way to go, especially since you already have a Datejust with a jubilee band. For your reference, the midsize YM is 35mm and the midsize DJ is 31mm. Not sure if that helps. If you decide against the YM, you should look at the Rolex Date...it comes with the oyster band and smooth bezel like the DJ in your pic, but you can get it in a 34mm size which is more sporty looking.

Here are some comparison pics for you. From left to right they are DJ midsize (SS/fluted bezel/jubilee), YM midsize (SS/Plat), Date (SS/fluted bezel/oyster...a bit blurry, sorry), and the same YM on my assistant who has TINY wrists. Hope this helps!

alicat, since you already have an oyster w jubilee bracelet, the YM will add something different to your watch wardrobe.

update us when you decide. and of course, post pics!

Go with the Y-M.

classic datejust - preferably gold

I like the datejust better, the yachtmaster looks too much like a Tag Heuer to me.

Another vote for the yachtmaster from someone who wears it almost every day : )

I think datejust is classier & more elegant. I was looking at watches at Sears & I think YM reminds me of watches from department stores...since it has a more common look.

Just can't decide which one to get. Love them both but have to decide on one.
I'm looking for a everyday watch that goes with casual but also with dressy occasions as well.
Any opinions/ suggestions/ experiences would greatly be appreciated.
Here are a few pictures of these on celebrities.... TIA

ROLEX DAYTONA

ROLEX DAY DATE

 

[Sammyjoe]

Both are beautiful watches, this is such a cop out but I would be happy with the one that looks best on your wrist imo.

The rose gold daytona is my watch holy grail

I like the Daytona more cause it has the white face.
