Wow and its got magnetron cathode sputtering,wonder what genius in marketing thought that one up.Its a great movement and a mechanical first, but the YM11 is not on my must have list at any price.

Both worth more dead than alive. The YM11 in YG is a huge chunk of Au and nothing in the Rolex range comes even close for presence IMO.

I never understood this monstrosity. Cool color scheme but its turning into one of those 100% filled Breitling dials with a million numbers and things going on. Ugly. (and I love most Breitlings...)

What a horrible looking watch..........I didn't think Rolex could ever outdo themselves in terms of ridiculous looking timepieces after they released the Daytona Leopard abortion but, they have!!!!!!!! The "Clownmaster" lives!!!!!!

I'm shocked and surprised by this release, i think they should have left well alone. Can only imagine due to low sales of the WG & YG they were forced to sell more. |

I think the colors of the SS and RG blend well with the rest of the watch, leading to smoother transitions.
The dial might be a little busy, but still a big

I hope they find new applications for the 4130 in different models.
I'll also be curious to see an actual photo of a YMII. In the promo shots the whole colour scheme seems really "off". |

I rather like this new model as I have been a fan of the YMII for a little while and a TT version potentially brings it into my price range. I will wait until I see the YG TT out too so I can compare with the RG TT.
The dial has more going on than a Submariner or GMTII it is true. But it does not have as much to see as the Daytona. I think that comparing this watch to a Breitling with lots of numbers on is not exactly fair. |

$15K USD?? Try £17K GBP which would be around $24K Ridiculous price for a bi-metal watch.

I'm also thinking that the lack of posts on this thread means its not very popular. Its also a bit of 'supply and demand' I think the lack of demand for this watch may drive the price up too.
