noorudeenshakur Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Hi there I just ordered a yachtmaster got it today and it wasnt exactly what I was expecting. I wanted the rolesium but instead got a light beige kinda sparkly faced rolex. Its absolutely beautiful and the quality is amazing. My question, did rolex ever make a beige faced yachtmaster that kinda looks sparkly? My rolex looks alot like this, its a little more light beige and it has nicer markings but its not a platinum dial Ill try to take a photo of it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 That IS what the Rolesium Yacht-Master looks like. One would assume you knew what it looked like before you bought one... 1) Go to the Rolex site 2) Click on 'Collections' 3) Select 'Oyster Professional' 4) Select 'Yacht-Master' on the bottom... It's the first picture Now go sit down and bask in the comfort of knowing that you (probably) bought one of the closer reps out there; I have one myself. Good choice.

Whatch-A-Doin? Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Take a picture and let's see it so we don't speculate about what you received Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubFrog Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Yea, that's the Rolesium. Be very glad. It's quite nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noorudeenshakur Posted April 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 (edited) Take a picture and let's see it so we don't speculate about what you received OK here we go, the photos dont do the watch justice, and I dont do the camera justice. Im a terrible photographer and just could not for the life of me make it auto focus close enough, or get nice lighting but you get the idea sort of of what I have and its colour. Its a absolutely beautiful rep to look at especially under the lights or sun. Its really pretty, kinda subtle bling. I really love this watch and feel a lot better knowing that i have an accurate rep. Any opinions? I looked at the rolex site and it appears to look like a grey dial not a beige dial so I didnt know if rolex made a beige dial. Someone told me that the 2004 models were beige dial, but anyways thanks I feel better knowing I have an accurate and beautiful rep. Notice the markings on the back and the model number 116622 also stamped on the band? Its a beautiful rep and better than many I see for sale in these forums but all the same I was a little nervous about it because I'm not an expert. I feel so much hapier now. Thanks for the feedback.

Whatch-A-Doin? Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Looks right to me... Go visit your local Rolex dealer and look at a YM. You'll see that your rep is spot on. Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Looks right to me... Go visit your local Rolex dealer and look at a YM. You'll see that your rep is spot on. Enjoy I'm not so sure... The Rolesium has been out for a while, and they had to take a couple of shots at the dial before they got it right. Mine is definitely more grey (like the Gen; I've had them side-by-side). If you really want to be positive, either get down to a dealer and have a look in person, or try to take some better photos and get in touch with Overboosted; he'll be able to tell you for sure. Regardless, it's a nice watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jraines87 Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 This dial color does not look correct. The Rolesium face should be silver/grey.... These pictures look beige/brown... If I could get my boss to part with his gen, I'd take a pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truzement Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 you should not worry about the dial, it looks great. you should better worry about the hands, they are too thin and come from a submariner. the hands should look like this http://www.rolexreferencepage.com/yachtmas...view/yacht2.jpg I changed the hands on mine through one of the members on the previous forum. costed me somethin like 20 dollars or so.

poopypants Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 (edited) again, should be sparkly greyish beige... (ie. more grey than beige) it should almost match the bezel insert color... one of my co-workers has the same rep and another co-worker has gen so i see it all day... the rolesium rep dial is not as grey as the gen! more of a creamy color...

noorudeenshakur Posted April 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 (edited) I'm looking at the hands and yes they are thinner and likely off a sub. I'm still doubtful of the colour. I cant seem to find anything that has this colour I guess the only way is a trip to the rolex dealer to see. I may end up selling it.. I found some photos of 2 gens that both have slightly different shades to their dials and mine still doesnt look like either.

hk45ca Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 again, should be sparkly greyish beige... (ie. more grey than beige) it should almost match the bezel insert color... one of my co-workers has the same rep and another co-worker has gen so i see it all day... the rolesium rep dial is not as grey as the gen! more of a creamy color... mine is a tw and it is a light sandy beige. i went to my ad and they had three, mens, mid size and a ladies. all three were different colors. one was darker gray than mine, one was more silver than mine and one was exactly like mine. i have looked at many pics of gens and the color varies alot. rolex must have a very wide tolorance on the the color shade. i asked my ad why the color tolorance was so wide on these and they had no answer. imagine that. you would think that on a $8,000.00 watch that they would be more strict than that. i decided that mine would be just fine. it looks like the large pictures above.
