YMII is a weird one, I've only seen one PM model at an AD and that was pre 2018 so one would think they would have been available, but I am certain I have seen more YMIIs in the wild than I have BLRO GMTs. A mysterious subsection of the population (aka: normal non WIS people on the internet where the YMII is nearly universally hated) do like and purchase them.

I could believe it because Rolex likes to rotate dials (eg: linen tapestry jubilee fluted motif). If true, it makes me even happier to have acquired my blue fluted motif DJ 36 last year.

But I'll take this one with a grain of salt, too...

I still think the BLRO is more likely to be retired than the BLNR.

Yes, I think you will find in April they are removed. I know this as my AD called me to say I won’t be receiving the one I was expecting this year and asked me to choose a different dial instead

Tried this on today at HourGlass in Singapore. First they received since release. It looks great, I love the size, and very light.

Registered my interest but was not getting any encouraging vibes from my SA who usually helps me get what I want….

Nobody knows what Rolex is doing until they announce it. Amazing how they keep things under wraps as well as they do.

It's scary down there! What if seaweed touches my feet? Will my crown seal be damaged?

I don't do any watersports with my Submariner
