Titanium Yatchmaster 42mm - 2023 release

[Seadwellermike]

Wow, first Ti Rolex ever?
The polished CG matches beautifully with the brushed finishes.
Hope VSF will come up with this model soon

Second. 🫡

 

[Seadwellermike]

this is bringing me back to the 316 and 904 steel dispute days haha

Absolutely!! That was a hoot.

I honestly will buy whatever factory comes out with this first. I am obsessed with this watch.

 

[NPD]

Watch looks great! Here counting on VSF to nail it, just like many of you out there...

Looks like JVS may be releasing a version of this with the following specs

A2836 Auto Mvt at 28,800 BPH
42x13mm
Black Dial with Dot Markers (With Blue Superlume Applied)
904L Solid Stainless Frosted Case on Oyster Strap with Deployant Buckle
Sapphire Crystal - Etched crown at 6:00 position
Bi-directional Ceramic Bezel
Date Indicator At 3:00 position (Adjusted via the crown)

Doesn't look like is titanium though

"Doesn't look like is titanium though"

Darn was hoping they'd do a full case

 

[biff1001]

Source?

A FB seller called Andiot Times based in China.

 

[biff1001]

Has the glidelock clasp instead of the easy link one as well.

Not the best quality photos (screenshots from non-td video)

Total waste of time!

 

[biff1001]

The case/bracelet look unpolished other than the crown guards.

 

[muiramas]

Looks like a 40mm maxi Submariner case as well. What a joke.

Edit. It is just a 40mm 116610 with a different dial and insert.

 

[serumdiesel]

Yeah, that release is an offensive joke. What a load of shit.

 

[biff1001]

I doubt the factories have managed to get the watch yet to work out how to manufacture it in titanium.

 

[LongyUK]

As expected really as the first attempt. A sub with a black insert from a YM42 wedged in.

As @biff1001 says there's probably not a reference watch available yet.

I remain confident that in say 3 months we'll see a titanium effort hit the market. Come on VSF get it done.

 

[biff1001]

Looks like EW factory will be releasing their version soon weighing in at 100g weight

 

[Relos_Indios]

Supposedly has a 72 hr power reserve; interesting.

It will have to be a ti case and bracelet to get it to the claimed 100g weight.

Since there isn't a gen to compare it to (for now), we can basically just take a wild guess on how good of a rep this is based on the factory's reputation.
