Why aren’t yacht -masters more popular vs. the submariner? They look more interesting and unique to me, though I’ve never really seen one in the wild. Is there something other than price and the WR that makes them somewhat less desirable?

YM2 is just hideous. As a start

likesmart

I don’t disagree, but I mean the regular YM which was supposedly meant to replace the sub in the lineup

(1) Cringe name, (2) too flashy for most people, (3) not an actual 'tool watch' given poor water resistance and lack of proper dive bezel -- something that matters to many buyers, even if they don't need those features

I think they look really nice, just not as versatile socially or esthetically as a black diver so not as popular

Subs are iconic and nearly perfect dive watches. What problem are they trying to solve by adding a platinum bezel?

On another note - just put in my interest at an AD.. does anyone know what the typical wait time is for the YM 40mm in blue?

The YM2 is one of the most complex watches Rolex makes. The regular YM is maybe a little more interesting than a sub but doesn’t come no date that I’m aware of and has a little less value retention.

Less classic, more flashy, less timeless. It’s basically a sub if you don’t care about what a sub is supposed to look like

I saw one this weekend and planning on buying it, at the right price..

For me: Yachtmaster in Titanium > Submariner > Yachtmaster 2 (aka YuckMaster)

The price for the titanium one feels absolutely dumb though...
PS: can't agree more to the name being cringe

If the Ti Yachty was 40mm I’d definitely be on the list.

Hi guys, After CAF completion by last week, yesterday I received a call from the HR for the second round of evaluation. So, I attended it yesterday and performed well by answering 90-95% of the questions. Even the interviewer gave good comments on my performance. But suddenly today I received an email that my candidature isn't suitable for the role and they're keeping my profile in the database. Does this mean they'll call me if there are openings with some other project?

Advice: my firm incentivized associates to get licensed in fed courts - 4 fed courts for a 5k raise. They also covered the admission fee. I just accepted an offer with another firm and will be putting in my 2 weeks notice tomorrow. Is it wrong to submit an expense report for the charges I incurred related to the fed court admission fees? I didn’t plan on moving to another firm; the new firm sought me out and made me an offer - the process happened so fast. I want to be professional about this.
