After a 4-year obsession, a collector finally got his Titanium Yacht-Master. His verdict is that it's the most anti-Rolex Rolex ever made. With its brushed surfaces, dark grey dial and mind-bending lightness, it's a watch that "screams Rolex only through its subtlety." A unique collector's story.
Not nearly as preachy or supercilious as, and with far fewer mistakes, than the usual fare. Methinks this Rehaut guy should make more frequent appearances on here.
Great write up and the first that mirrors my feeling. I got impatient and bought mine on the secondary market but can tell you it is the best daily wear watch on the market.
I love mine so much I made a video of me taking it on vacation.
Excellent writing and recounting of an epic quest. Fun stuff and love to see more.
I too was initially hesitant about the lack of “heft” with titanium and equating it as being “less than” value wise but got over it soon enough and now enjoy several pieces that seem to just float on the wrist.
Interesting how some brands don’t seem shy about pricing titanium alongside precious metals 🤔
Anyway it’s a great looking watch even just in the pictures and that last sentence says quite a bit!
An acquisition worth waiting for no doubt!
May the author continue to enjoy it in good health for many years!
Awesome review. I always thought I’d dislike the feel of the TYM; I once tried on a titanium Offshore and found the lightness off-putting. But now I really want to see a TYM in the metal. This review highlighted a lot of the less obvious merits of the watch, like the reduced heat conductivity and the brushed bracelet.
Fully susbcribe to not wanting anyone to know which watch I'm wearing beyond fellow watch nerds. That's the reason I wear my skydweller the least, so the Titanium Yachtmaster could really be the one and only "under the radar" Rolex currently available

My unofficial editor deserves all the blame.
Fuck him.

Right!? I hadn’t even given this a second thought until I read this 😂
Great stuff Josh.. hoping to see it if we meet up and of course share some bourbons!
And buckets to drink out of.
You can sit in a corner with a bucket while we drink straight out of the bottle 😂
Was alluding to his size, a bucket is a cup to him.
Quite enjoyed this review and hope to eventually see one of these in real life!
Long may the honeymoon continue :-)
