I have been eyeing up the YM 2 with the Blue dial.

What are the main differences between YM1 & YM2.

Is the earlier one more desirable?

It's great to see this thread still going strong and with the addition of the new blue SS/Plat dial owners.

It's the Rolex that's not for everyone, which baffles me. Such a gorgeous piece.

[adman7]

such a vastly underrated piece, and still a great value on the secondary market. Just got mine back from RSC and love it all over again.

This pic is especially stunning!! The sun is just dancing off the dial, almost making it appear white! Wow.

If you don't mind me asking, how much was your Yacht-Master trip to RSC and was it just a basic servicing? Did you have the bezel touched up / re-sandblasted or did you ask them to leave it as is?

Thanks!

I want a triple red!!!
Love my first rolex YM anyway

I added this one to my collection on Tuesday as a 50th birthday present to myself.

I bought the piece while on vacation in Bermuda around 7-8yrs ago and it had not been serviced. I was dropping off a few other pieces so I decided to bring this one as well. I believe the standard service ran $600 but I can't locate the invoice right now. Cosmetically it was already in decent shape so the bracelet and clasp PCL's were really the only thing that needed a touch up with any polish. I didn't specifically ask them to leave the bezel alone but they didn't touch it either.

Great phone, nice picture. For the watch... just send it to me.

I have two TTs, one 28, and the midsize stolen from my husband when he got his Explorer II. What I REALLY want, but they don't have (yet anyway) is a SS/Plat midsize with blue face.

i hope this helps push many of you over the fence and treat yourself to the blue ym i traded "up" from the platinum dial (z serial) which i PROUDLY wore for 5yrs.
i rotated it with a pepsi gmt, white daytona, and recently a green subc; i found that the pt dial 'clashed' with the white of the daytona sometimes. i honestly could not imagine a rotation without the YM.
yes indeed, i hold the YM as the most underrated, best buy of a rolex, and all around easily one of the THREE-MUST-HAVES in a multi-maker rotation (i am a huge fan of AP)

i feel the blue adds a LOT of character and choice to the rotation now. and i maintain having that beautiful platinum bezel, the brilliance of the polished bracelet, and an advantage of the newer clasp.
if you are uncertain about the blue of the YM, i can say it DOES look like a black-dial watch on somebody's wrist from 5 meters away. depending on eyesight, it also creates a rather interesting look if you cannot make out the pronounced polished numbers on the bezel.
in sunlight the blue throws some awesome shades.
under direct artificial light i get the sense of a "3d layered" watch when the bezel pops and the blue sucks in for depth

enjoy!

I just realised Charlie Sheen was wearing the SS/Plat in season 7 of 'Two & a half men'.

[Pukka Sahib]

Great pics. Member of the club here, platinum/SS really spoke to me even when I bought my sub years ago. Little did I know the sickness that would one day result in a torrid love affair with the YM - and other references as well. Hell, all of them.

My YM in the sun

and in the dark :)

[SRQ]

The YM is a great, classy, subtle watch. Would love to have one to go with my ss Sub! Better for a dressy occasion.
