    Rolex Yachtmaster vs Ulysse Nardin maxi marine diver chrono

    Hi, I've been reading these forums for a while and now I'm torn between two watches so I would love to hear what everyone thinks.
    I have a Tag carrera. So this watch would be just my second.

    If that's the UN you're looking at, I say the Rolex. I am a fan of UN however not so much with the chronos...
    If only I had more arms... and deeper pockets!

    I think the Yachmaster, tbh, is not the best looking watch and I don't think it will age well.

    I have seen and tried on the UN. You have to see it in person to appreciate the detail and quality. The quality of finish and the small details on the pushers and the bezel are fantastic. As well, the markers in the sub-dials are slightly raised so that the hands move underneath them. It creates a really cool effect. Anyways, I think the UN is more special and just a better looking choice. Go for the UN.

    I vote for Yachtmaster... The color of UN looks too ridiculous. Looks too colorful.

    Aesthetic wise, definitely Yachtmaster. Clean dial. UN have nice models, but not their chronos.

    Go and try on the YM and your decision will be made. it classy and elegant and that little bit different from other Rolex

    I guess I'm in the minority here. However, you must see the UN in person. The pictures don't do it justice. The YM is just way too busy and the aesthetics are off. If you're going to get a more complicated Rolex, buy the Daytona. However, between the UN and YM, the UN is the better choice. The fit and finish on a UN is, in many cases, better than on a Rolex.

    Plus, the UN is less known by non-WIS. It will attract less unwanted attention and it won't be nearly as common as a the Rolex. In fact, the UNs are numbered right on the side of the case. I was at the AD, and the watch I saw was only in the hundreds. So, in terms of production numbers, the UN is a much rarer watch.
