I'm with you. I just think that it's the best YG model from Rolex, period. Of course, thats only MHO. Enjoy yours

Love the new addition! Thanks,as well,for turning me on to the 116718. Your posts on TRF were my first exposure to this great watch. My trip to the AD for a test drive sealed the deal. The YM is frankly Awesome. Enjoy

Agree with mike

After having them all and all as daily wearers it comes down to the YMII

why well for me the size and weight combined with a white dial, blue ceramic bezel and additional complication make it THE Rolex for me

Congrats, Mike!

For me it is the yachtmaster with a white face, followed by the DDII with Romans.

Datejust, Day-Date and GMT vintage come to mind but if I had to choose only one it would be a Day-Date 36mm.
