Rolex Yachtmaster 116655 Full Review

Behold the  new rose gold Rolex Yachtmaster with the Rolex Oysterflex Bracelet: Rolex's 1st Rubber Strap

With the new rose gold Rolex Yachtmaster, Rolex watchmakers held no punches and put in nearly every great idea they ever had into one amazing watch. The Rolex Yachtmaster has been around since the early '90s and came in an assortment of materials from gold and steel all the way up to platinum. They are known for being shiny and luxurious from one end to the next. So it comes as no surprise that the world was taken by a storm when they decided to use rubber to introduce the new Rolex Yachtmaster watch reference #116655 . Was it a step up or a step down for the series? PrestigeTime.com bloggers believe that pictures speak much louder than words.

The new men's Yachtmaster from Rolex is a 40mm 18k rose gold case watch with a black dial and accented in Rolex's very own Everose gold. Just like their proprietary 18kt rose gold alloy, Rolex will always prefer to create the status quo and not have to rise to meet it because of anyone else.

In the new rose gold Rolex Yachtmaster, they held no punches and put in nearly every great idea they ever had into one amazing watch.

At the core lies their in-house Rolex movement, the automatic caliber 3135 which resonates at 28,800 vph containing 31 jewels and has a whopping 50-hour power reserve. Of course, it would not be complete without their "Cyclops" magnifier. The new rose gold Rolex Yachtmaster is also known as the m116655-0001.

Rolex is also no stranger to trending luxury watches. They tend to be the first in doing and introducing many things. While rubber has been around for a long time and has been used on many watches over the years, both high-end luxury watches and everything else. Rubber had no place on a Rolex watch until now. Rolex waited this long to introduce this material into their products not because they were hesitant to be part of the trend, on the contrary, 

they wanted to revolutionize the rubber watch band before using it on their first-ever rubber strapped watch. Creating the best rubber bracelet was something Rolex obsessed about until its perfection. Enter the new Rolex  Oysterflex bracelet which we hope to see on more of their men's watches. A rubber-coated two-piece titanium bracelet with a patented cushioning system. The black elastomer coating is a similar substance to what you see on the Apple Watch. The bracelet has an Oysterlock clasp in solid 18k Everose gold which seals the deal. Rolex held nothing back in reinventing and over-engineering the perfect rubber bracelet that has the same elasticity as a metal bracelet without the initial cold feeling of a metal bracelet when first placed on a wrist. Now it's just a matter of time before a platinum Rolex comes with a rubber Oysterflex bracelet.

In 2015 Rolex introduces the Rolex Yachtmaster watch model #116655, the first Rolex watch with the all-new rubber Oysterflex band with an 18k rose gold clasp. After its creation, they saw all that they have made …and it was good.

Most recently this watch has been upgraded with a new movement and new reference number that we sell new, in its original box, with a warranty, and with free shipping to the United States. The new Rolex 126655 Yachtmaster 40mm is essentially the same watch with a few improvements. Specifically, the caliber inside has been replaced with the Rolex in-house caliber 3235, a Superlative Chronometer with exceptional precision, 31 watch jewels, Paraflex shock absorbers, and a substantially longer power reserve duration of approximately 70 hours.

Watches In The Wild The Road Through America, Episode 1: A Model Of Mass Production

There is big news, and there is Rolex big news, and in some ways, ne'er the twain shall meet. At Baselworld this year, Rolex debuted a first for the company: the very first, ever, Rolex delivered on a rubber strap. Now, for most companies this would have little effect on watch enthusiasts other than to evoke (very) tepid interest at best, and boredom at worst – but this is not an ordinary rubber strap, this is an official, designed-and-tested-and-thoroughly-obsessed-over-by-Rolex rubber strap. And thereby hangs a tale.

The Yachtmaster, as we have mentioned in some of our previous coverage , occupies a somewhat particular place in Rolex’s lineup of sports watches; it shares water-resistance and a turning bezel with the Submariner (the latter is water resistant to 300 m while the Yachtmaster standard model is water resistant to 100 m). It is certainly not a tool watch; the Yachtmaster is offered in either platinum and steel, or gold and steel (that’s Rolesium and Rolesor, lest we forget) and is either quietly or unequivocally luxurious depending on what size and metal you go for (Rolex makes the Yachtmaster in both 35 mm and 40 mm sizes). 

The Yachtmaster’s history goes back to the first introduction of the watch in 1992, although the name, interestingly enough, appears on the dial of a prototype Yachtmaster Chronograph from the late 1960s (a watch so legendary I am actually forced to use the word; one of three known is in the collection of Mr. John Goldberger; we covered it – and a host of other remarkable ultra-rare watches from his collection – in a very memorable episode of Talking Watches ).

The term “Yachtmaster” is also, incidentally, used for a certificate of competency in yachting which is issued by the Royal Yachting Association, although we’re unaware of any specific association between the RYA and the Yachtmaster watch.

Now, this newest version of the Yachtmaster does take a few pages from the existing Yachtmaster playbook: 100-meter water resistance, a bidirectional turning bezel, and a dial and hands that echo the Submariner. There are also a couple of features that may make vintage Sub enthusiasts wonder if Rolex mightn’t have an exceedingly subtle sense of humor; the gilt coronet and “Rolex,” and the red lettering, both features which according to HODINKEE founder Ben Clymer would have, had they appeared on a Rolex dive watch, made it instantly the single most popular watch in the modern Rolex inventory. The case is rose gold – Rolex famously makes their own, called Everose, in their own foundry, with a bit of platinum mixed in to prevent discoloration – and the bezel, rather than being some other precious metal (as is the case in the “standard” Yachtmasters) is in black Cerachrom – a very technical-looking matte black that contrasts sharply with the gold case. Somehow, between the rose gold, the Cerachrom bezel, and the new Oysterflex bracelet this manages to be the most luxurious and at the same time most technical Yachtmaster yet (leaving aside the Yachtmaster II, which we recently reviewed right here , but that is a watch that marches to the beat of a different drummer entirely).

The two different versions of the Everose Yachtmaster (40 mm and 37 mm) sport different movements; the larger uses the caliber 3135 and the smaller, the newer 2236, which sports the “Syloxi” silicon balance spring (first used by Rolex in 2014).

The Oysterflex bracelet is, in a nutshell, quite a piece of work. One of the most endearing traits of Rolex as a company is that it tends to demonstrate what we can only describe as a laudable degree of corporate obsessive-compulsive disorder when it comes to research and development, and it does so, often, without making any sort of fanfare about it at all. In this case we do know a little bit about the Oysterflex, however – it is basically designed to have the hypoallergenic and comfort properties of a rubber strap and the durability and shape-retention properties of a bracelet. 

At the core of the Oysterflex bracelet are metal inserts made of titanium and nickel, which are used to affix the bracelet to the clasp and watch case; over those is a sheathing of “high-performance black elastomer.” “Elastomer” is a portmanteau word, formed from “elastic” and “polymer” and is a general term for natural and synthetic rubbers. In addition to the materials complexity of the Oysterflex bracelet, it is also shaped in a rather unusual fashion – there are ridges molded into the the wristward face of the bracelet, which are intended to allow the bracelet when worn to better approximate the natural curvature of the wrist.

They might look a bit odd but in practice, the design works out quite wonderfully; this is easily the most downright comfortable and organic-feeling rubber strap I have ever worn, and like the entire watch manages to be both extremely technical in feel, and very luxurious at the same time; I doubt whether any company has ever taken so much trouble over the design of a strap (for all that Rolex prefers the term “bracelet” in describing the Oysterflex, habit dies hard and you’ll probably find yourself calling it a strap, just as we did). On the wrist, the two stabilizing ridges do exactly what they are supposed to: keep the watch from shifting, as heavier watches on rubber straps are wont to do, without requiring you to have the strap uncomfortably tight. The Everose Oysterlock clasp does a superb job mechanically and also looks fabulous into the bargain; the quality of finish on the clasp and case may not seem terribly elaborate at first, but it is as technically flawless as anything I have ever seen at any price, on any watch.

What we have here, in other words, is a very Rolex interpretation of luxury. Yes, this is a gold watch, and a gold Rolex, and wearing a gold Rolex always carries with it, shall we say, certain semiotic complexities. However there is also another side to the watch, and to the Rolex approach to luxury in general: the taking of such pains to produce technical perfection that technical perfection becomes a luxury in itself.

The Everose Rolex Yachtmaster, in Rolex Everose, with Everose Oysterclasp and Oysterflex bracelet, as shown, $22,000 in 37 mm, and $24,950 in 40 mm. For more info, check out Rolex.com.

LeBron Wore a Stunning Rolex Daytona to Celebrate 40,000 Career Points

T his week, LeBron James became the first player in N.B.A. history to score 40,000 career points, firmly cementing his G.O.A.T. status as the league’s all-time leading scorer. That he accomplished this at age 39—making him the oldest player in the NBA—is mind-blowing.

Striding into Crypto Arena for his historic game with the Nuggets, King James wore a fitting watch: a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ref. 126509. No stranger to a great Rolex—he’s been spotted in a completely iced-out Yacht-Master before —James has worn numerous eye-popping Rollies. (Not to mention impressive fare from a host of other brands such as Richard Mille , Patek Philippe , AP, and others.)

In fact, by these standards, the ref. 126509, which debuted in 2023, is somewhat chaste: Sure, it’s housed in an 18K white gold case with a matching white gold Oyster bracelet, making it extraordinarily heavy (and valuable). But this particular reference, with its black and steel dial, white gold applied indices, and white gold tachymetric scale, doesn’t feature a single diamond. Really, it’s more reminiscent of the early, solid-gold versions of classic Rolex tool watches from the 1970s—though by virtue of its color, it’s even more subdued. Handsome and powered by the automatic Rolex Calibre 4131 movement, it features a power reserve of 72 hours.

Last year was a banner year for the Daytona. Rolex celebrated the model's 60th anniversary by revamping the reference entirely and launching a white-gold special edition ref. 126529LN in honor of 100 years of Le Mans . Indeed, the Daytona—which begins at $15,100 in stainless steel—has seemingly never been more popular, with customers willing to wait years to receive an allocation from an authorized dealer.

Travis Kelce’s Rolex Day-Date

Kansas City Chiefs tight end and recent Super Bowl winner Travis Kelce took in a Celtics vs. Cavaliers game with brother (and former Eagles center) Jason Kelce in Cleveland this week wearing the most Presidential of Rolexes, a solid-gold Day-Date . It appears that Kelce sprung for a modern ref. 228238, a 40mm yellow gold model powered by an automatic Calibre 3255 movement and featuring a champagne dial with baguette-cut diamond indices — plus the model’s famed President bracelet. Launched in 1956 and only available in precious metals, the Day-Date was advertised as the province of politicians, artists, and winners — much as it is today.

Teyana Taylor’s Bulgari Serpenti

An actor, singer, songwriter, dancer, model and more, Teyana Taylor does it all — which is why it isn’t particularly surprising that she also knows a great watch when she sees one. Indeed, this past week, she wore a particularly cool Bulgari Serpenti in black ceramic to a Kings vs. Spurs game: A novel take on the Roman jeweler’s famed wrist-hugging, serpentine timepiece, the Serpenti Spiga consists of a 35mm black ceramic curved case, an 18K rose gold, diamond-set bezel, a matching rose gold crown set with ceramic, and a cool lacquered black dial. Paired to its famous case in black ceramic and rose gold and powered by a quartz movement, it’s proof positive that Bulgari, despite its origins as a jeweler and not a watchmaker, makes some of the most compelling timepieces in the world right now.

Barry Keoghan’s Omega Constellation Globemaster

A Vanity Fairy affair at the Chateau Marmont wasn’t the first time Irish heartthrob actor Barry Keoghan ’s been spotted with an excellent Omega affixed to his wrist — but we particularly love this week’s pick. Part of the Constellation line, the Gobemaster in Sedna Gold is a 39mm, dressy Master Chronometer with a fluted bezel, a handsome, opaline “pie pan” dial inspired by the first “Connie” from 1952, and an Omega-built Calibre 8901 automatic movement visible via a sapphire caseback. Paired to a brown leather strap and featuring a convenient date window above 6 o’clock, its elegant profile is a far cry from the much more utilitarian design of the brand’s famed Moonwatch . (Which received a white-dialed upgrade this week!)

John Cena’s Rolex Explorer II

Taking his televised meeting with Jimmy Fallon in a pinstriped, pistachio-toned, three-piece suit — and being the only human on Earth who can pull this off in 2024 — American actor and professional wrestler John Cena rocked a most excellent Rolex Explorer II ref. 216570, posing with it in such practiced form during his photocall that we feel he was mentally communicating directly with the GQ watch desk . Measuring 42mm, this larger, contemporary version of Rolex’s spelunking watch from the 1970s seems like the perfect fit for Cena, its orange secondary time zone hand complementing the pops of yellow in his suit.

Is hong kong still the best place to buy rolex.

350 comments:

Hi Paul Just for info,at my city Rolex official dealer (Surabaya) datejust 116233 with diamond on the hour marker price last December was about HKD95200 after discount. The price is fluctuate depends on IDR-SGD exchange rate. HK price for the same model is much much cheaper (Thank to you, Paul) and I notice a LOT of Rolex AD in HK, every shopping mall I visit always have one or more Rolex AD. Chow Sang sang and Chow Tai Fook are on every couple meter of Nathan road TST Youmatei and mongkok, both side, and Emperor in canton road and causeway bay. Is it because this tight competition, HK price is cheaper than other country in Asia? And yes, I think Hong Kong is the best place to buy Rolex. Best Regard Albert, Indonesia

Hi Albert, yesm you are right, there are about 78 Rolex AD shops in HK (sstimated) Such a tiny city has this number of Rolex Shop can be the Guinness World of record. Artland, Chow Sang Sang, Chow Tai Fook, Dickson, Eldorado, Emperor, Europe, Fung Leung Kee, King Fook La Suisse Watch, Oriental, Precision,Right Watch, Solomon, Tai Hing, Times City, Times Watch Wah Hing, Zurich are the Rolex AD, each of them has one or more shops under the same name. The number of watch they sell is estimated to be 300-1500 a day depends on season. just in December, because of X'mas and new year, a lot of Rolex Fans came to buy thr Rolex after seeing this Blog, and You are one of them. I am glad that I could help to bring Rolex for dozen of Rolex in just a Month, and I think some of them like you are becoming friends. Well, you know say if we can sell 1,000 Rolex a Day in HK, that is 36500 a year, That is 40% of total Rolex production a year, as I said HK is the major exporting country for Rolex. HK/China can eat up 60%of Rolex total production a year. That is why there are a lot of special Rolex models you can find in HK, Pricewise, I can say HK is likely lowest. And we do not impose tax on Rolex watch in HK. So as your Rolex, It is likely lowest price in the World. Come on, wear it... Don't keep it cold in the iron Safe. Thanks for your continuous Posting Comments. Mind telling me what kind of job that can allow you buy Rolex like an apple in supermarket? HK Snob

Hi Albert Sorry, again, typo 1000x365 is 365,000. which is 36% of Rolex yearly production. Rolex produces about 1,000,000 watches a year now. Hk Snob

Hi Paul OMG! I think you exaggerating when said buy Rolex like buy an apple, actually, its my first, and i already want it for a long,long time ago, but I always delayed to buy it, but IDR exchange rate constantly weaken against other major currency cause luxury goods price sky high, plus I heard the price increase annually, if I,m not get it now, I will not buy it or can't afford it. Usually I have guilty felling after buy expensive thing, but I fell happy after get the Rolex (maybe psychologist can suggest their patient to buy Rolex and see if it can make them happy too ;). I'm not wear it on daily basis because my home town is relatively small city with mix social status, I don't want look to flashy or look like showing off. Sincerely Albert, Indonesia

Hi Albert, I like what you said:" The psychologist can suggest their patient to buy Rolex and see if it can make them happy too! A new way to cure Unhappiness. There are a lot of unhappy men on Earth, usally more richer people get less happiness and live in misery., I ask them to buy Rolex... haha! Well, You have fallen into my Trap, once you make one time guilty to buy a Rolex, you will make twice... and I am sure you can! May be in 10 years time, you are the top ten Rolex Collectors in Indonesia!!? HK Snob

Hi Hk Snob, Thank you for the prompt reply.. cheers

Hello HK Snob, Planning to buy 114060 sub no date. Checked the price in Singapore, it is 9750 SGD before discount (usually can get 5%). Assuming we get 5% discount and 7% tax refund, the net price will be 8614 SGD. With current exchange rate (1 SGD = 5.85 HKD), the price will be 50400HKD. Based on ur price in HK, 114060 is 52800HKD. So is it safe to say that now it is cheaper to buy in Singapore? I am planning to get one soon.. Looking forward for your opinion. Thanks in advance. Happy New Year 2015!

yes, it is cheaper now in Singapore due to lower Singapore/HK exchange rate. it makes Singapore better deal by 9 percents hk Snob

Oyster Perpetual

Yacht-Master 42

An emblematic watch in rlx titanium.

The emblematic watch of the sailing world, the Oyster Perpetual Yacht-Master 42 is now available in RLX titanium. More than a simple variation, the use of this new, robust and light material required the development of particular industrial techniques, allowing the metal to be manipulated with the utmost care. Advantages proven by Sir Ben Ainslie, renowned skipper and luminary of the SailGP, who tested a Yacht-Master 42 in RLX titanium exclusively created for him, enabling the development of the new version presented in 2023.

RLX titanium is a grade 5 alloy that is lighter than steel and denser than aluminium.

Mastering lightness

Titanium is a surprising metal. The titanium selected by Rolex to manufacture its watches is a grade 5 alloy named RLX titanium. It is both lighter than steel and denser than aluminium, yet harder and more resistant than either of these metals. Its characteristics are so unique that its processing and finishing – particularly the technical satin finish specially developed by Rolex and specific to watches in RLX titanium – required the development of a dedicated industrial process. Using RLX titanium to create the case and bracelet also reduces the weight of the watch by about one-third compared with the same watch in Oystersteel. A major watchmaking feat, marked by the distinctive symbol on the winding crown: a dash surrounded by two dots.

Unprecedented aesthetic balance

The new Yacht-Master 42 stands out with its finishes, a combination of technical satin, high-sheen and polished, proof of Rolex’s know-how in machining and finishing. The three finishes delight the eye with their subtle play on textures and light, contrasting the gleaming polished surface of the crown guard, the lustrous high-sheen on the top edges of the case lugs, and the matt of the technical satin finishing – with its pronounced grain – visible on the case and bracelet. An unprecedented aesthetic balance reinforced by the combination of the RLX titanium’s anthracite grey colour and the matt black colour of the Cerachrom bezel insert in ceramic.

Unparalleled comfort

The new Yacht-Master 42’s Oyster bracelet is also made of RLX titanium. Sporting a technical satin finish extending to the edge of its links and to the sides of the Oysterlock safety clasp’s cover, it is equipped with an Easylink comfort extension link that allows its length to be easily adjusted by about 5 mm. It also includes ceramic inserts inside the links to enhance its flexibility and longevity.

Tested against the elements

In 2021, Sir Ben Ainslie, a four-time Olympic sailing champion, was chosen to test a Yacht-Master 42 specially designed for him. This gentleman skipper competed in the SailGP championship with the only watch of its kind in the world: a Yacht-Master 42 in RLX titanium. By exposing its watches to extreme conditions, Rolex perpetuates the vision of its founder Hans Wilsdorf, who saw the world as a living laboratory in which only extreme testing could provide evidence of a watch’s reliability. A chronometer with superlative precision, made of a material used in high-technology industries, the watch proved to be the perfect ally for the driver of the Great Britain team. Ultralight, robust and extremely corrosion-resistant, it accompanies him on board without hindering any of his movements.

I love the diversity.

A breath of fresh air for sailing

It is a competition unlike any other in the world. With its multihulls travelling at more than 50 knots – almost 100 km/h – and comprising multiple events across the world, the SailGP series showcases the most innovative technologies in water sport. Rolex has been Presenting Partner and Official Timepiece of SailGP since the competition was inaugurated in 2019. A veritable ballet of the seas, SailGP is a spectacle like no other. Aboard their catamarans flying across the water, team members grapple with the elements, each playing a precise role.

Faced with the unexpected, they must band together to withstand stress and make instantaneous decisions. To sense the direction of the wind before the others and gain the best trajectory to win. Among these outstanding athletes is Rolex Testimonee Sir Ben Ainslie, who tested a Yacht-Master 42 in RLX titanium during races. With incomparable lightness, this watch offers unparalleled liberty of movement, as much on land as at sea. It allows the wearer to lead their life with a masterful hand, in the perpetual quest to balance speed and staying the course.
