Very nice.

Just remember that when you go from the DSSD to the little ones your arm might move a bit faster so be careful

Wow, that YMII looks close to the size of the DSSD. I haven't seen the 2 side by side before. I don't imagine it's near the thickness, does it wear as big as the DSSD?

Thanks for those comparison pics Andrew. I've tried on a DSSD and, personally, find it too big for me. I've really been drawn to the YMII as a modern watch. Looks like it could work, it's the thickness I'm concerned about.
