SS YM II 116680 on small wrist

YM II receive a lot hate from the community, i think its' those kind of watch that you have to try it on. I've been wearing it for the past 3 month almost every day, and i can confirm at least for my wrist, it's absolutely fine no problem at all, very comfortable and suits almost any outfit from smart casual to sports.

I have a small wrist 6.5" approx. 16.5 cm, 5 foot 10 tall, a lot of ppl tell me don't get YM II since it's a big guy watch, and small guy can't pull it off. Well after i tried it in AD, fall in love right away.

Since the day i have YM II, i hardly put my Hulk and Batman on I felt sub and gmt look so small now...
The wrist presence compare to SUB and GMT is just on a different level and you hardly see them in wild.

I don't care what ppl says, it's a either love it or hate it type of watch.
Anyway a quick wrist shot and a few other rolex

Agree with everything you said. I also was blown away when I tried it on at an AD and it wore much better than I imagined (also have 6.5” wrist). The blue bezel is so vibrant and the whole watch just pops on the wrist.

Looks great on you, enjoy in good health!

Congratulations on a great watch!
Some watches you have to try on and see yourself in the mirror, full body, to finally decide if it is "too big" or not.

It looks amazing on you, it's a great complication watch, and I personally really like it. From those people that I've read on here who have puled the trigger and bought one they only receive positive comments. I think it's a TRF thing the love hate thing.

Wear it in good health my friend.

Congratulations. I am glad you like it and the wear. In the end you are the one that decides if it works for you. I have all sizes of watches in my collection and I think that there is a place for each. Enjoy.

Agree with all your comments on the YMII. I love it and has been on my grail list since I tried it on at the AD. Great watch and great look.

Refreshing to read.
I too have a 6.5” wrist.
My smallest watch is a 40mm, with my largest my 44mm Breitling.

Wear what makes you smile, and in good health.

I prefer the solid gold with platinum bezel. Too big for my wrist at 6.4 inches imo.

It's a watch that was always meant to have a large wrist presence, so the large diameter just goes right along with it. I'm a big fan

I love it...and it looks good on you, IMO.

It was more of a question of an in-between fit for me, rather than size.

Appreciate your comment. And agree what you said if everyone like the same thing, it will be too boring!

I think it's too big. Looks like it's wearing you and not the other way around.

I support you in liking it. I'm sure her wrist is smaller than most anyone here and no one's complaining.

It's looks amazing on her. But every watch would look great on a (pretty) girl that. On an equally slender man's wrist, it would be maybe look a bit over the top perhaps? I'd like to see similar pics of men wearing it instead of zoom-in-pics. Then again, who's the girl? Asking for a mate.

Small wrist-er's issue with the YM2 would be the weight rather than the size. The SS YM2 is heavier than a TT Daytona and wearing it snug like I do gets around the problem, makes it comfortable
